Jeff you ae right. I forgot to add that in there, I do the same as well. It helps save money. I have always tied my mono and my braid together with a blood knot. Has anyone els used a diffent know to fuz the two lines together.
I thought I was the only one to use a monofilament leader on braided line.
Here's what I use. It's a variation of the whip knot. Not at all bulky, and pretty easy to tie. Just pretend the rope is your super braid. Be sure to keep every turn tight, and it will break before it slips off.
