I go against the grain a bit on my selections and choices. I use heavier braid and a lower rating flouro leader. Flouro is a bit more cut resistant on oyster shells than braid, and you can tie any knot you want to on it. If I get hung up or broken off, Id rather break off the leader and have 5 ft of leader in the waters than 20+ feet of braid floating around. I use the uni knot and have no issues with it feeding thru my eyelets reeling in, I do let it out past the eye to cast though. It cinches down tight on my leader of if i tie direct to a lure. Aas far as I can remember, I've not had a unit know come loose since I started tieing them. BTW, Charlie, don't ever grab the braid and try to hand line it, it will cut you bad, If you have to pull directly on the line to get something unsnagged, keep a wooden dowel or billy bat around to wrap the braid one and pull on the stick. That line will hurt you
