I use brass rivets, they are hard to come by you can get aluminum at HD or Lowes just pop the pin out

Couldn't you just tie a dropper and cut one end instead of tying the uni to uni? It would still give you something to snell on to, but I think it's easier to tie than the uni with such a long tag end. It may not be as strong, but it was much easier to tie when I tried it. Not quite sure how long you want the teaser though- there's only so big you can tie a dropper.

The double uni is so I can use the 2 different lines

Ah, I see now. Makes perfect sense now. I must have missed that in the original post.

Thanks for the explanation!

I think I have an old box of brass rivets kicking around our basement, gonna look tomorrow and see if I can try it out. I was just gonna takesome very small diameter brass tube and turn it into 3/8" pieces with a line in the middle to hold the thread. Can probably pop 50 of those out in under an hour. Rivets might be easier though.

Hope it's a big box that you want to share
