Knots

Hey ive been fishing on the riggers a little while now, using 20lb mono and last week i got 30lb floro for leaders on dips and riggers the 30lb stuff is a lot thicker than the mono and my double loop knot just doesnt look as strong or as well rigged as it did with the mono checked on you tube and other sites for knots but failed to produce anything with thicker line. Can i get some info from somebody that does this all the time and what knot you are using to get me back rigging please and thank you>

Also I want to pre rigg some rods to go out and running low on flashers, has anybody used spin docs with spoons dont hear too much about it, cant see why it would not work though seems better than just putting just the spoon down.

I use a uni knot - hasn't failed me yet.

See this link.

for joining the two lines, double uni is good, could probably get away with an albright, but my preference is to tie to both lines to a swivel.

Just remember to lubricate the knot before you pull it tight. I normally just lick the uni-knot after I finished wrapping and am ready to pull tight. Especially if you are using 20 lb or less, if not you will knick the line and cause a weakness.
