There has been a lot of discussion the following more than the years about this sort of connection.

I agree that the &quotChinese Handcuff&quot form connection employed for wind-ons is most likely the smoothest and strongest connection – if you use hollow core braid.

But – for a modest, super strong and quickly tying connection for sound braid the Red Philips cannot be beaten…

The uni to unit results in a more substantial knot on the fluor/mono facet of the knot than the Red Philips.

also there is only one particular strand of fluoro or mono underneath the braid’s uni knot as compared with the Red Philips which has two…

Not employing the fluoro or mono uni knot saves time in addition its tough to tie uni knots in 70# and up mono or fluoro line – the above hand knot is speedy and straightforward…

Obtaining both strands of the fluoro or mono beneath the braid side of the knot implies the braid has to reduce thru equally strand of fluoro/mono on either aspect of the overhand knot for it to fall short…
