Albright
The old and faithful Albright Knot is one
of the most reliable knots for joining lines
of greatly unequal diameters or different
materials such as monofilament or shock leader to braided
Pe line. It is easy to tie and should be in
every angler’s knot arsenal.

Step
1 |
Make a loop in the mono, and
hold it with your left hand. Double 30”
of braided line to create a 15” two-strand
section. Pass this through the mono loop. |
|
Step 2 |
Wrap the braided line loosely around the
fingertip of the hand you’re using to
hold the mono, then wrap the braided line
around itself and the mono 20 to 25 times.
Work toward the end of the loop, keeping your
wraps tight and snug. |
|
Step 3 |
Run the braided line back through the mono
loop so it exits on the same side it entered. |
|
| Step 4 |
Wet the braided line, and tug on the standing
line and tag end to jam your wraps tightly
together, moving them toward the end of the
loop. |
|
| Step 5 |
Pull both standing lines to tighten the
knot, then use softjawed pliers or a gloved
hand to pull the knot tighter. Pull both standing
lines at once to make sure the knot is secure. |
|
| Step 6 |
Braided line will slip because of it smooth
nature. Tie a lock knot with the remaining
Tag as shown. |
|
| Step 7 |
Pull the tag slowly... |
|
| Step 8 |
The final albright should look like this. |
