Changing leaders on braid

[fishingbuddies]

Hi....I use the Alberto knot. Hope I'm not jinxing myself...but have NOT lost a leader yet this yr since i started using it. It's relatively fast and easy to tie. Like seconds. See link... Alberto beat out the Albright. http://www.saltstrong.com/articles/a...to-vs-fg-knot/

Agree on using the Alberto knot, it's a solid one and gets the job done! Give it a try for yourself.

I normally use 20 lb braided line for my baitcaster with a 6 ft of 14 lb Mono rather than Flouro ( fluoro is much more unruly than mono in my experience). I use double uni knot with three turns on both sides. Didn't lose any fish but it also breaks easy when I get snagged and it's easy to replace the leader with double uni knot for me.

After watching that video, it seems I have been tying the Alberto knot all along. I found it online as an albright. Maybe 6 wraps isn't enough or perhaps my knot is a bit sloppy. No way it should be breaking off when setting the hook with the line I'm using.Thanks for the video.
