Thanks Forefrazier. That's a solid vote for the Tony Pena.

I've done a bunch of test's on that knot and it holds almost 100% of the time although I did have the overhand knot in the fluoro slip through the coils once so I modified it by starting the knot with the double-uni with the fluoro instead of the overhand and it held perfectly. My only problem is I'm a little gun-shy with any line to line knots until I catch something good in the kayak. After losing all those fish to the uni I'm real sketched out about anything thats not straight to hardware. Plus I just got those micro swivels that are 50lb test which go through the guides nicely. As soon as I get something good I think I'll convert over to Tony Pena to simplify.(I'm getting real close I think

)

Thanks!!!
