Well we've learnt from the best big game fishermen and have adapted the windon leader to our shore fishing.
Having seen the success and since importing braid from the USA I decided to look up the game fishing forums and the knots they recommend and as a result found the "Bob Sands Knot" and the PR knot.
I ended up testing both and was massively impressed with the results of the ease of the Bob Sands knot and absolute amazing strength of the connection I just had to share it.
I made 2 variations of the knot and in all tests it came through with flying colours where connecting 50lbs braid to 0.60mm nylon the connection was pulled till failure and in 18 failures each failure was where the mainline parted and never the braid or connection.
Lay the braid and nylon approximately 30cm past one another and connect tie a simple 3 turn uni-knot in the nylon (around the braid)
