The alberto knot is a great knot to attach braid to leader. Its pretty simple to tie and when tied properly very slim.

I only use two knots, one for daily use and the other when I know I need a little extra hold at the knot its self.

Nice ratdog. The second one was sweet. I have so many knots I need/want to learn.

Ratdog 05-28-2014 08:06 PM

Sorry for so many posts pad would not let me get adresses.

I use this for 125 mono to 80 lb braid. Went all day bent 2 hooks never retied just snelled new hooks.

Quick easy and I also use top shot from 17 lb mono to 80 braid other way no problems with guides cast right threw just make close cuts on tags as they won't work free. Ratty tags hit guides.nots never stick with flush trims during cast or reel in.

Good luck and sometimes easy is best.

Gota replace one of the roux spoons.lol.
First attempt just broke the spoon.
Second attempt led to a failure of the mono just below the knot.
Notice how much the 80lb PP dug into the wood on the second try before the mono broke.

Try a rap on the woon so no friction burn or slip. I use bamboo and old rag with rubber bands to hold it on.

Will a double uni work to tie braid to fluorocarbon?
