Stop losing fish with these knot hacks

Just watched a guy lose a nice bass yesterday because his snap swivel failed. Got me thinking about how many anglers rely on hardware instead of proper knots. Here's what works for me: double uni for braid to mono connections (slides through guides like butter), Palomar for terminal tackle (never fails). My setup is braid mainline with mono backer, then 6-10' leader. Actually just bought Yo Zuri super fluro after losing a PB to leader abrasion last week. The double uni held though! 😅 Always check for line nicks - that's where most breaks happen. What knots do you swear by? Any hardware failures cost you fish? #fishing #FishingTips #KnotSkills
