Double Grinner Knot Join Braid Fishing Line to Mono 170509

How to reliably and successfully tie a braid fishing line to a monofilament or flourocarbon line with a "Double Grinner" knot

Hi, I've got a fishing knot question, how do you connect a braided ...

The best knot for your application would probably be a Double Albright.. I’m assuming that you are using a spectra type braided line and trying to attach a 60lb mono leader or top shot.

I will attempt to try and explain this knot to the best of my ability in writing. I have tied it 100’s of times and have never had a knot failure.

Step 1. Form a 6-8" loop in the mono and a 12-18" loop in your braided line. Leave plenty of line to work with as it makes the final and critical steps easier to do.

Step 2. Put the braided loop through the mono loop about 8".

Step 3. You will now have 2 strands of braid through the mono. Wrap the braid around the mono about 8-10 times, making sure that the braid lays flat and does cross it self. Now wrap back over the just completed wraps toward the end of the mono loop, again 8-10 times.

Step 4. Put the braided loop back through the mono loop. When this is done you will have 4 strands of braided line facing back toward your reel, the feed from the reel, a tag end and the braided loop. Now slide the braided wrap that you just made to close the gap around the mono loop.
