That’s the way I do it on the Spod rod, leaving longer tag ends although it seems counterintuitive is definitely better and stops frap ups etc

Back to back uni knot. Less turns on the shock leader (thicker material)

I use a knot that I think is called a uni knot? Possibly a back to back uni. I use 20lb spomb braid with a 50lb whiplash leader and it’s never failed on me. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have just re-done the braid to braid on my marker rod.
I used a mahin knot with 12 turns of the thinner reel braid going up, and another 4 turns going back down over the turns.
A bit of saliva before easing up tight and it beds down perfectly with no slippage.

For braid to braid I would use Mahin as well and leave the tag ends about half an inch

Mahin knot for me. Very reliable and both tag ends are at the back of the knot.

Sorry don't agree. If you are pursuing absolute distance a heavy shockleader to cope with a heavy lead and as light a mainline as you can get away with is the only route. It will give you extra yards. If you can cast using good technique it will help even more. Back to back 6 turn grinner will do the job. If you use a long enough shock leader it takes the Shock. Not the knot

I wouldn't bother. You're just creating a weak link and will hardly gain any extra distance from doing that. You're better off improving your casting technique or upgrading your gear (rod/reel). My money is on the former...

Mahin knot, i added some extra turns to ensure the thin braid doesnt slip. Perfect.
