Aj, just out of curiosity, what size mono leader are you tying that uni to uni with? I generally use a 60lb mono leader for stripers, and it's more like rope than line, but certain rocky places I fish I need it. I don't think I could manage a uni to uni with 60lb mono and 20lb braid. Rather, a locked Albright with this size leader makes for a very slim knot that can be fed through the guides on the rod no problem and even the linewiner on a conventional level wind reel if need be.
