Skinniest knot joining nanofil to 2 lbs fluoro...?

[ultralight]

I'd like to try some nanofil to go with my micro guides and need the skinniest reliable knot to join 3 lbs nanofil with 2 lbs fluro/mono. What do you guys/gals use?

I'm also concerned about the nanofil biting into the fluoro and cutting it with the wrong knot. Read somewhere about that.

Thanks,

Nothing better than the Alberto Knot. It's as small as can be, and it has never failed me. Here is how to tie it.

Yep. Excellent knot. I know it as the albright knot. Here's another vid of the same knot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 2R9F9ZNi2I

HOWEVER ... in both videos they did not wet the knot with saliva or water before pulling it tight. Big mistake on any knot, even a bigger mistake with fluorocarbon line.

I do not have enough time with Nanofil but whatever knot you choose I would suggest that the Nanofil be doubled. Also, a larger number of wraps with the Nanofil. This type of line works best with jam knots, so a back to back Uniknot is what I have been testing.

I use the Albright knot and I do wet it before tightening the knot up. I also add a very, very small dab of Zap-A-Gap to the knot and spread it evenly and allow it to completely dry before spooling the line on or using the line. Have patience, I use the 4# line and it's pain to tie but once you get it, it's good to go. No problems with the lines separating.

Thanks everyone. The Albright it is then. Looks simple enough. Much appreciated.
