Every reel I have spooled with braid is finished with a Bimini Twist so that I have a doubled section of line to tie the terminal knot... either a Palomar or a Rivers Inlet Knot finished ala fNp. That gives me a 100% connection with two intact strands going to the terminal snap/swivel with no tag ends to trim.

Every one is probably familiar with the Palomar, but here's a demo pic of the finished fNp knot tied in heavy mono to better illustrate the knot's architecture.
