Nice work man.
If you're new to braid (I'm not accusing, just stating), knots slip a lot.
Braid is so slick that any typical fishing knot has a slip-risk.
I have eliminated this problem 2 ways.
1) I tie a DOUBLE PALOMAR. Doesn't ever seem to slip. (some people like to do [url "http://www.powerpro.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/power_pro_v2/info/using_powerpro/knots/palomar_knot_.html"]twice through the eye[/url] and some people like to go [url "http://www.totalfisherman.com/blog/318/tying-the-double-palomar-knot/"]twice through the line.)[/url]
Both will work, I go twice through the eye.
2) Melt your tag end with a lighter so a small ball forms. This usually backs up the knot, but don't rely on it, cause that ball can break off.
