Back to back grinner

Mahin knot for me

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

Quote: If you do find there is slippage then do it again, but then add a single overhand knot in the shockie about 5mm from the finished knot. Then you need to wrap the thin mainline and the shockie around two bits of stick or something that will give you a secure grip and then slowly increase tension as you try and pull the two ends apart.
What should happen is that the knotted part of the thin braid starts to slip and then butts up against the overhand knot.
This will now be rock solid 💪🏻

Here is a close up picture showing the mahin knot with the added overhand knot, as described.

Back to back grinner for me, never had one go, but wouldn’t expect it to as always have at least 5 turns of the shockleader on the spool and then the drop to the spigot. The knot is never under any pressure during casting.

+1. I did try another but can't even remember what it was now 😂

Double Uni trimmed down tight works for me with 20lb Gardner Distance kinetic to 60lb Whiplash. Super neat.

I used to make sure the knot is at the bottom of the spool on the cast, but it's so small & hasn't caused me issue in the years of using it, I don't worry anymore.
