Mono does not take "1 second longer" necessarily but generally does have more stretch when wet. I would recommend a a fluro leader in the 6 pound range about twice the length of the rod spliced with a uni-to-uni rod. You could also go with mono though not quite as good but it does have a reliable track record.

Would it be OK to attach the braided line to my current reel which is spooled with red Cajun line? Like if I tied the brakes line securely to the red Cajun line so that I can have longer amount of line using what have already?

I think it would work as I will have a +150yd braied line at 2# mono equiv and should Have ever encounter a 'long distance runner' I would have the extra line.

What is a 'rod spliced uni to uni knot??!' Videos/picture instructions would help as I am a visual/hands on person. Thanks in advance
