I would and used to tie traces on like JK said no swivels cos they snag too. Never had any knot issues plus if you get snagged badly your line tends to pop at the knot.
 
Man I wanna go rock fishing again.

Back to back uni aint the best as a joining knot either. Sure its ok but if want an easy and strong joiner then lethals knot in the pic above is pretty hard to beat - would recommend a few more than 3 wraps though. I like to use 6. ]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2011 11:42:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63290&PID=909863&title=weighted-or-weightless#909863 <![CDATA[Weighted or weightless? : Back to back uni doesnt double...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63290&PID=909806&title=weighted-or-weightless#909806 Author: Seth

Back to back uni doesnt double your line havok and cant be used to attach a doubled line to trace.  Plus baz is doubling his line to fish without trace, not sure about richard though]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2011 10:16:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63290&PID=909806&title=weighted-or-weightless#909806 <![CDATA[Weighted or weightless? : why not just back-to-back uni...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63290&PID=909801&title=weighted-or-weightless#909801 Author: SufixRockMan

Nah i missed what baz wrote mate. Just tie a double, ie bimini twist, plait or even rangi old spiders hitch.
 
Personally prefer to go with the above knot and a leader. I fish 8kg alot off the rocks and tie a leader of rod length plus a metre or so of 40 or 60lb. Does me really well.
