Re: What Knot?
Both the albright and double uni work very well. I prefer the albright because it has a much smaller profile than the double uni.AU88 wrote:All -

Re: What Knot?

Re: What Knot?
Uni to Uni for sure. I've had the albright slip plenty of times when using braid. Could just be me but Uni to Uni has never ever slipped. I always use Albright for attaching two pieces of Mono or Mono to Flauro. JMHO

Re: What Knot?
Albright works fine, I tweak it just a bit though. I only use the knot for joining a very fine braid to a much heavier mono (or wire), otherwise, it doesn't seem to hold up as well. Uni to uni works decently, but has a large profile. My select knot is a called a J-knot - VERY STRONG, very slick profile!

Re: What Knot?
Both are great knots, I prefer the uni to uni, and I've found that doubling up your braid really helps when working with 40lb fluro.

Re: What Knot?
I have used all of the above referenced knots and a couple of other (Bristol/bimini) but the one I have finally settled on is the slim beauty. It's a great knot.
Re: What Knot?
if albright knot slip on you, try improved albright knot, it's holds the mono leader better,won't slip and very strong
Re: What Knot?
Double or triple surgeon depending on line weights. Holds great and is the easiest knot to tie.
Re: What Knot?
DO a search for Crazy" Alberto Knie knot, its a modified albright and its easy to tie once you get the hang of it and very effective.

Re: What Knot?
Yucatan knot for braid to fluorocarbon. You have 2 strands of braid rather than one on other similar knots.
