Topping Up Braid

[humesy]

G'day again,

I recently had a mega tangle and lost a lot of braid off my baitrunner. I have some more line on its original spool. To top up my reel, what knot should I use to join the old and the new line. I know it can be done as the fellow in the tackle shop did it for me once but I never asked how to do it for myself.

Thanks in advance,

Humesy

G'day mate... I always just use a double uni to top shot my braid. On really light braid I sometimes tie a double in each end then tie a double uni between the 2 loops.

Cheers, Slinky

I would second that . Double uni is the way to go .

Try this.

I use a blood knot with 10 to 12 turns, more on 2kg less on 40 kg. I also lock it, when you put the line back through the centre, put it back through the loop you just created.
