J Knot

This is the best knot we’ve found for ing a mono leader to main braid reel line. We first came across it when fishing for tarpon in the Florida Keys some years back and it’s proved totally reliable. The knot is compact, strong and es through the rod ring eye easily.

The Florida Flats fisherman call this knot the “J” knot.

A mono leader on the end of braid needs to be between 25ft and 35ft long. 25ft is ideal for shallow water fishing up to 100ft, but for greater depths use 35ft leader to give a little more stretch to protect light hook holds in bigger fish.

HOW TO TIE THE KNOT

1. Lay the line and leader alongside each other but overlapping by about 15 inches.
