long leaders knot

[bomb]

im going to try using long leaders [4 or 5metres]on bream.which knot should i use,that will pass through all my guides easily?

i normally use a double uni,but reckon that will catch on the guides.any advice greatly appreciated.

Maybe a sebile or gt knot would work?

The fg knot is the slimmest/strongest knot I tie, however it is a massive pain in the arse to tie. I use long leaders and I generally tie a slim beauty. I'm normally using 4lb leader and the knots are small enough to pass through micro guides. Make sure you trim the tags a close to the knot as possible to prevent line getting caught o the knot as it sits on the spool, a drop of superglue can help smooth the knot too.

Go for the slim beauty mate. Relatively easy to tie gets through the guides easily and i have never had it fail on me.

More often than not I run a 4 to 5 metre leader.
I've used the slim beauty for years, works for me.

Will the Slim Beauty slip through micro guides easily in the lighter line classes?

I love the slim beauty as well, although now I mainly use the version that has a uni knot in the braid. Kaneit knot I think? Just find it easier to tie on the run.

Albright for me..

Slim beauty on an Albright

Slim beauty if I'm tying the leader on at home or in camp. Albright if I have to tie it on the 'yak. Just find the SB a bit fiddly on the water, esp. if I'm wearing sunnies and not my prescription glasses.
Either work with micro-guides, but the mono tag points the "wrong" way (forwards) on an albright, so trim it really short. (Make sure the knot is cinched up tight first!)

I also run my leader at 4-5 m. I have always tied an Albright. I used to have problems with it. Till I did it how Tim Morgan dose it. In his words the dirty knot. 6 times down and 9 times up. Ever sins I started tying it that way it has bin perfect. Hope this helps. Cheers Chris.
