How to Tie a Mono to a Braided Fishing Line

Tying a mono to a braided fishing line is a crucial skill for anglers to master. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do it:

  1. Gather your materials: You will need a mono line, a braided line, a pair of scissors, and a lighter.
  2. Prepare the mono line: Tie a small loop at the end of the mono line using a double uni knot or similar knot. Leave a few inches of tag end.
  3. Prepare the braided line: Strip about 2-3 inches of coating off the end of the braided line.
  4. Double the braided line: Fold the prepared end of the braided line back on itself, creating a loop.
  5. Pass the mono loop through the braided loop: Pull the mono loop through the braided loop.
  6. Tighten the mono loop: Pull on the tag end of the mono line to tighten the loop and secure it around the braided line.
  7. Trim the excess: Use the scissors to trim the excess mono line and braided line.
  8. Heat the knot: Use the lighter to gently heat the knot until it melts slightly and fuses the two lines together. This will prevent the knot from slipping.
