Topwater98 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 What are your favorite knots for connecting to lines. Do you use the same knot for adding a leader to braided line as you use for tying two mono lines or two braided lines? I want to add more braided line to a rod that already has braid. What knot would you use? Quote
ABW Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Alberto knot for leaders.. I don't tie mono to mono but I'll use the alberto to tie braid onto my braid backing. Quote

Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 15, 2014 Super User Posted September 15, 2014 I use the modified Albright knot. 1 Quote
fishguy613 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Uni to Uni is super easy and strong 1 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 15, 2014 Super User Posted September 15, 2014 I would try the uni to uni knot OR the Alberto (crazy) knot and see which you like best ...I use both with good results . Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 15, 2014 Super User Posted September 15, 2014 Mono to mono (usually of similar size) Blood Knot Braid to mono ( also usually of similar size) Uni to Uni Knot. A-Jay Quote
Smokinal Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 First off, you gotta have this website bookmarked: http://www.animatedknots.com/knotlist.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com Second, I have used the blood knot for braid to fluoro for years without an issue. I'm sure the Alberto and uni to uni are fine knots as well though. Quote
einscodek Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Went thru that exercise a while ago.. uni to uni is the way and has never failed me yet Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 I don't tie a line-to-line knot often enough to be good with one. My father taught me the Blood Knot almost 60 years ago. I like the Alberto (modified Albright) Knot the best, but have to admit that I can tie a Uni-to-Uni Knot much quicker because the Uni Knot is what I use on all my lures. All are good knots if tied correctly. I like the Alberto Knot the best not only because it is very strong, but also because it is smaller in diameter than the other two. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 Braid to braid or to leader the alberto. Mono to mono, no knot, fresh spool of line. Quote
