best knot to tie

[big phil 123]

What's the best knot to use to tie tapered shock leaders together? Would the one I use on my shock leaders be ok? I use a biminni twist or what I call the loop knot are you make a loop in your main line and and tie the shocker on that way no mega complicated knots please lads as I am not the best knot tier lol

When I use tapered leader I knot them with back to back uni-knots. Gives a nice small knot and plenty strong enough for 15 / 18lb line

You're not the best knot tyer Phil but you use a Bimini, hate to think what you'll be knocking out when you're a good knot tyer

Never used tapered leaders but I'm assuming you'll be joining two bits of line approx equal diameter. I'd use either a double blood knot or double uni knot as per Stewart.
