    All wetted and chinched down tight both sides.
    I have only started using the uni afyer so many guys on here raving about it but I seem to have a fail any time i use it.
    Good ol cinch knot never seems to fail?

    Nice. I have done a little bit of surfcasting, so what I say may be bullshit, but you are joining two lines of very different diameters and I would go with a specialist shock leader knot like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLpyLKyVDDA

    Personally, I'm now using braid for all my fishing, including surfcasting, but if you are fishing rough ground then braid is a poor choice because of it's lack of abrasion resistance.

    I use braid for everything too Can't stand the lack of feel in mono anymore and fused dynema lines like Berkley Fireline are as tough as when it comes to abrasion.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
