I can recommend the "Uniknot", for mono/mono , mono/braid, all/dacron etc.
I use it for nearly ALL my knots, hooks , swivels, clips etc. and for line
to line joins. It replaces blood knots, grinners and all those others that
slip !! In the main I use 4 or 5 turns on 15lb mono and 30lb braid (same
diameters) 3 or 4 on shock leaders 40 to 60lb mono, and 6 to 8 on thin line
below 15lb. When tying mono shock to braid mainline, use say 3 turns on
50lb mono to 6 turns of 30lb braid ( = 15lb mono diameter). Do not pull the
mono tight before getting the braid to pull up tidy like, then ease both
tight evenly / together. If you don't, there is a very good chance the
braid will 'slice' the mono !! oops!

tight lines and good knots

That is the site I was looking for, I somehow lost the entry in my favs
folder.

On the braid side what know would I use for:

(1) Tying to hooks swvels etc
(2) To use to attach a mono shock absorber


On the mono side:

(1) What knot would I use to attach the mono to braid


I am well aware that you require more turns for braid than for mono! Sorry
to appear a bit dim but all of my knot tying experience is in mono not
braid

Sorry if that has been asked before but I cannot find much info about
it.

I am after a site that will show me how to tie:

mono to braid
braid to hook(s)/swivels

Any help please?
