I asked a bit ago on what's the best way to connect 2 braids of the same line class. Wasn't being specific on what type but im not using hollow core on this reel. I know that splicing hollow to hollow or solid to hollow is the best way but I dont have a splicing kit and the only hollow I have is 130lb and on my bluefin/billfish reel.
Got some feedback from a few people and came to the conclusion of using FG's. The braid and mono are both 80lb. Seen sources on using some super glue on it but for these knots I didn't.
Pretty much 2 FG's on mono of the same line class with servings and a rouzuito knot finish. Did 2-3 square knots for the braids excess and burning the tag end along with the mono. The FG has been tied with a lot of pressure and a lot of wraps. Did it to connect 2 lines i cut prematurely when spooling. Unspooled the line and tied it up with those knots being deep in the spool.
Did i do good on this? To me I think I did but since people here have been fishing longer than me and or tied this knot more, I'd like your inputs and what i should/shouldn't do next time.

What in the double helix 🧬
That is a very chunky FG
I don’t think you FGs are fully engaged. You need all the wraps to dig into the mono and get darker in color.
Personally I do 16-22 wraps. Any more and it’s too difficult to engage all the wraps without breaking the lines.
Tight lines dude!
Are you making a bracelet?
Bud are you for real with this.
Uni to Uni seems 100x more efficient and affective.
man why would you make foshing so complicated? double uni knot. You’re asking for trouble with thag
That looks like it’s ready to fuck up some guides or get caught in/on a roller.
Could certainly work though. Personally I would have just said fuck it and filled the spool with mono to get me by.
I have tied braid to braid using an improved Alberto and it held fine. Granted that was only with about 40lbs of pressure to 30lb braid trying to bust a lure off that was in a tree.
Why??
