Knots for braid

I recently purchased a Shimano Tiagra for an upcomming tuna trip. My question: What type knot do I use to tie the braid onto the spool? Then, what type do I use for tying about 100"mono onto the braid mainline? Sorry if this sounds like a basic question, I havent used braid that much, but when I did, I couldn't tie a good knot. Thanks

I use uni knots for the loop to connect line to the spool, and double uni knots (bimini first in braid) to connect the leader. Preferably I would use a wind on type leader, which just sort of hitches on with a loop to loop.
good luck,
