Its really challenging to get the back wraps to fall in nicely (which might be my biggest issue).  that's sitting at my kitchen table, i can't imagine the guys tying all these on the boat. 

Yeah, I have to drop the anchor sometimes so I can focus on the dang knot and not worry where I’m drifting.

Man i wish i had the type of luck above with Alberto Knots.  they are easier to tie than a Double Uni but thye're the only knot that ever fails me.  

 

Do some brands/models of braid allow slip more than others?  is there a secret trick? 

I go 7 up and 7 down. Wet and cinch. Trim tag ends close. I tie it on Power Pro and Fireline with fluorocarbon and mono. 

I spent 1/2 my Summer dropshotting in Minnesota and only retied if leader got to short, using J-knot never had issues over several days at a time.
