Line selection

[MuskieBait]

Just a few feet. Depending on the thickness of the two lines, if the thickness is similar, I tend to use the uni-to-uni. If the thickness is much to different, I use the Tony Pena knot. This knot is similar to the Mid knot, PR knot or Slim Beauty knot in concept...only that it uses an overhead (or personally I prefer a Figure 8) knot as a stopper knot. I especially like the Tony Pena knot when I have a heavy leader whether it is mono or fluoro...by heavy I mean anything over 40lb. I've tied as heavy as 150lb mono to 65lb spectra braid with this knot. For the longest time I didn't know what this knot was called...so I just called it the Slim Beauty/PR/Mid knot
