    works great. I am sure you could tie a bimini in the braid and then albright it to the wire. I am sure it will work and the bimini is probably overkill.

    Do a search on here for a video called the "Sebile Knot". I made the video last year as a way to connect braid to mono but it works equally as well with wire (in place of mono). In the video I wrap the braid approximately 8 times, but I've since increased the number of wraps to 15 or more. It's a very easy knot to tie and VERY VERY strong.

    Thanks for that video Squid,I have used that knot several times and no failures,easy to tie and I agree w/you on making more wraps.The tighter you pull it the knot tightens up even more,Damn great knot!!
