Excellent video!! I think it just made my knot choice much easier for this upcoming season. Thanks!

[zimno1]

you a flyrodder?

[chrowski]

nope but the knot was easy, so I tried it on a 20lb mono to a 50lb floro leader and then tested it. It worked beautifully and alberto knots sometimes start slipping on me for some reason, but this doesn't. So I don't see why I shouldn't give it a shot this upcomming season. I also tried it on braid to a 50lb floro leader but it didn't work as well.

do you think it would change the strenght of the knot if you tried doing the figure 8 with the braid or the mono/fluro when connecting the leader??

Excellent video

[zimno1]

do over! i am not sure i follow you on the fig. 8 do you mean fluoro to braid tied> pardon me as i am getting dopey lately

[Reelthing1323]

when you take the line and tie the double overhand knot, pull slightly and make it look like an 8........would the knot strength change if you did the 8 with the braid or the mono (i might still be saying it wrong, if so i'll just try an experiment with it myself and see if i'm retarded)

[Wild Dave]

Thanks Zim great video

[zimno1]

the braid is what is suppose to be wrapped around the leader and back out and tightened; if you took the leader and wrapped it around the braid it would likely not tie right. is this the case?

[River Rebel]

Some thing to try

Thanks

[Reelthing1323]

ok i tried it both ways.....if you do the figure 8 w/ mono (i suppose that would be the same for fluro) its good.....if you do it w/ braid you need to make another overhand knot in the tag end or the braid will slip out of the knot....also make sure you really seat that figure 8 once you pass the double line through

The albright knot works good with the braid, just lock the tag end of the braid using a uni-knot (3 wraps).
