I'm sure no one else has an opinion G, but I prefer the clinch knot.

Somehow I just *knew* this was coming. I suppose you use that same
knot for your shoes, too.

If you use a uni-knot on the arbor, you can get it to lay flat with the
main end of the backing line tangential to the reel arbor.

only rarely do i find myself concerned about the possibility of a 12"

Mark I am read a book and the author in sold on the Duncan knot AKA
Mark uni knot. Any one have an opinion on is this is better to tie a
Mark fly on with?

"Better" is a dangerous word to use, but let me just say that after
experimenting with *lots* of different knots, I have chosen to use the
uni knot.
