Default Re: Changing leaders on braid

Modified Albright is 6 up and 5 back down in each space left by the first 6 and then through the loop the same way it went in. You can use 7 and 6 if you want for lighter line as long as it's a good spiral and snugged slow. Coat it with super glue for added protection through the guides, test it every trip it's only slightly weaker than most terminal knots.

Default Re: Changing leaders on braid

My freshwater braid set-ups are with 15 pound power-pro and 20 pound Samauri line. I either use 8 pound flouro or 10 to 12 pound mono leaders. Always tied on with a uni to uni knot, and a minimum of 7 wraps on each side. As was mentioned by others before, my leaders are usually 4 feet or less and get changed once they are clipped down to less than 18", so maybe mine aren't on as long as others. They don't go through the guides either (well, maybe the top one on occasion). Never had a breakoff at the line/leader connection.

As an aside, flouro is very heat sensitive and snugging down knots should be done slowly, and with wet line. I use saliva. We used to play with different lines and different knots at the store where I worked, and it's a real difference.
