Leader Knots; Braid to Leader and Leader to Lure

“I need to join my leader to my braided line, and I like to use an RP (Royal Polaris) John Collin’s knot,” says Capt. Benny.  “I love the new AFTCO Saiko Pro fluorocarbon leader in pink color.  I bend the end of the leader over and pass the braided line through the doubled end and around both legs for five wraps.  I then wrap back down for five wraps and pass the tag end of the braid back through the same loop in the leader.  Cinch down tightly using gloves and then finish the knot with a couple of half hitches with the braid.”
