Connecting knot

Recommended Posts

What knot are you guys using to connect braid to flouro or mono? For a few years I was using the blood knot a few times I noticed it slipped and I lost a fish.

I recently tied a few Albright knots with a drop of super glue. Hoping that works a little better. What are you guys using though?

The modified albright knot works the best for me. I use a minimum of 8 wraps down and back and make sure the tag end exits the same way it entered the loop of leader material. I never use the uni to uni anymore after learning to tie the modified albright knot. If it works for the saltwater guys it is good enough for bass.

In a pinch I'll tie a uni to uni but the most reliable knot I've used that goes through the guides the best is the FG knot. Tough to tie at first and takes about 10 minutes even when you're good at it but it's a very, VERY strong knot. The knot on my crankbait setup lasted the entire season. When I testing breaking 65lb Power Pro tied to 60lb Big Game for saltwater fishing I was unable to break the knot before either line or leader broke on every test. Albright never was very durable long term and should be retied often.

I used the Uni knots for years, but have gone to the Albright with great results.

I've been using the modified albright knot for about 4 years now without any problems. It's easy to tie and goes through the guides really nice. I have a much bigger problem with the knot at the lure with fluorocarbon.
