Joining 0.52 mainline to 50lb braid backing.
« on: September 27, 2010, 12:17:08 PM »
Is there any sense in stitching the braid with a smaller loop and using a modified cats paw to using the larger bimini loop and normal cats paw?

Absolutely! Braid stitch is stronger than the Bimini in braid. So it would certainly be a better join... not by much, but still better.
