First time I tried this knot. Took me 2 times to watch your video and 2 tries to get it right. Real simple and strong. Thanks!!!
Thanks Capt. Mike. First time using braid and needed a way to put fluorocarbon leader. Looked at many knots, tried the FG knot for a couple of nights and could not get it with my big, old fingers/hands (slightly arthritic) but, using your Crazy Alberto knot tutorial, I was able to tie a great small knot the first try and I kept practicing, felt good to finally have success lol. Pretty sure the drag will give before the knot. Thanks again.
Great knot. I really like to tie a bimini twist and then make the connection, particularly with a short leader. If I'm fishing a short leader around structure, having that section of doubled spectra really gives me confidence. I have caught fish and had one of the legs of the bimini broke off. No bimini and I'd have lost the fish and the jig.
I’ve tried a bunch of knots and this is by far the best one
Love it!!! Thank you so much!! I was looking for a knot that will not make much stress and pressure for thin lines(3lbs) and it works amazing!!
Thank you so much for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Been having issues with the knot I had been using.
Great knot and an excellent tutorial! I use it with 30lb braid to 8-20lb mono or flouro and it's really easy. Thanks!
Mike I realize this video been out there for a while yet I tried this knot and wow I love it it is low profile and can tell you strong as titanium! This will be knot of choice for me tiring braid to floro! Been torn double uni forever knot ;-) anymore! Thx.
I love this knot, this is my go-to. Nice visual tutorial.
Thank you for the tutorial, the way you demonstrate and explain how to tie the knot is everything that I couldn't find in other peoples tutorials.
Thank you! Your video made making this knot a lot easier after struggling with others, and I can't wait to put it to use.
Capt Mike I love tying this knot, been fishing for a year now (5 days a week), I tie this all the time along with the San Diego Jam and Palomar, I have never had this knot fail. I have had line snap (Braid) in front but never has the knot failed even tied incorrectly!
Great to hear David. Catch em up!
It's been a couple years since I looked up knot tying. But damn I'm glad I did today. This knot looks and feels perfect. Thanks
I've been searching for an easy , elegant and small diameter knot for braid to mono ( that's easy to tie) for ages. Tried heaps but this one is the best. Thanks for a simple tutorial. Tight lines.
Glad I could help
A world of thanks. Without exaggeration, I have been trying to tie a braid to mono shock leader for three years. I got this on the first try. I cannot thank you enough. Jake - from Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn.
THis is my second favorite knot. My favorite is the FG knot with the rizzo finish. Best knot strength, a little more difficult to tie at first. But it outperforms the backing knot used here. With that said I have never had either of these knots fail.
Nothing beats FG, just that many do “knot” know how to tie or are just lazy. But I agree, this works as a great backing knot.
FG all day for finesse Lure fishing, goes through the guides easily as finesse rods have tiny guides
@@dude1diligence do you dude diligence when making bold claims like that! Yeah the FG knot is fantastic, IF , and that is a huge IF, you are using smaller diameter braid than ur leader material. If they are both equal diameter, i.e. 15lb braid and 6lb fluoro, the FG knot is going to slip. It's like trying to climb up a rope in gym class that's made of parachute cord, just not enough surface area to get the grip needed. Watch the instructionals for it, anyone that knows their stuff will add at the end of the tutorial, "THIS KNOT IS FOR CONNECTIONS THAT HAVE SMALLER DIAMETER BRAID."
Great video. I was a big user of the FG Knot and still like it, but I started doing bay Grouper/Snapper fishing here in Tampa Bay and would suffer a lot of break-offs. I moved to the Alberto as it is an excellent knot and is so very fast to tie on a new leader. I now use it almost exclusively and only bother with the FG for very large diameter mono.
The other nice thing about your Alberto is if you keep a pair of nail clippers handy the tag end of the mono/flouro can be nipped extremely close to the braid and it is a very smooth knot.
That's all anyone should be using it for - very large diameter leaders. That's what it was designed for and where its only solid advantage is.
@@markrigg6623 define large diameter
@Keydet1992 Its the ratio of the diameter of the main line to the leader thats important. When the leader's 3 or 4 times thicker is what I go by.
This video is super helpful. I’m terrible at remembering knots, but this seated it onto my brain. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I literally tied a damn near perfect knot on the first try!!
Thanks mate. Great knot lesson, and thanks to you I'm catching heaps of bait in my cast net.
Thank you Captain for sharing this easy way to tie and good tutorials.
Nice clean knot...been using uni to uni, can feel it hit every guide......I think I'll be able to remember it. I like your sock analogy also. Tight lines 😎
This video is still proving to be very helpful. Thank you for sharing it.
I really love this knot and did not had a problem to repeat it! Thank you for the great tutorial!
Thanks for the info will be using this for sure when I go beach fishing next week🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Captain for a knot that we can actually do.. just tried it.. very strong.. 👍👍
I was looking for a new knot, but seeing this video I realized that you showed us my favourite knot. I also do your exact number of spires that I can assure to be more than sufficient
I have switched from double uni to this knot a while back. It’s quick to tie and strong! In my head I was calling it an Albright but it is the Alberto I understand now. Good stuff.
Yes, same thing speaking for me. I also noticed that in Uni to Uni knot the braid somehow cuts the monofilament and this makes it weaker
Thank u G this knot is fire
Thank you! 👍 🤙 Easy to follow, got it down.
I'll try this knot next time when i go fishing.
Thanks again for the how-to! Love this knot.
Thanks for the free knowledge 🎣
Thank you for doing this! I'm using this for now on!
Tried and tested. Best knot so far👍
This is exactly what I needed to learn. Thanks for the How To!💯
My favorite knot too .. I think there is an “improved Alberto knot” out there somewhere. When you match mono/floro to braid, do you go 20 braid/40 leader, 50 braid/80 leader? What combos are your favorites for 1) Pelagics 2) patch reef fishing for mutton? Thanks love your vids
It certainly beats the FG for ease of use - great vid explainer and easy to follow! Here's a slightly different version I've been using quite successfully over the last years. If you put a double granny (hitch) in the mono at the start, and slightly tighten it to where it starts to twist around itself and form a figure8, then pass the braid through the first loop of said figure8 followed by the 2nd loop, do the 7 to 14 return twists (depending on braid/line dia) and finally pass it the same way back again through the 2 loops of the granny knot, you'll end up with a knot that will be slightly more conical shaped and as such move better through your guides when surf/bait casting. A reverse version is called a slim beauty I think... Haven't named this one yet but might call it an even slimmer beauty ;)
NO THANKS
Thanks, just relearned the knot 😂 learned it as a kid n im just now needing it
Excellent video & knot. I have watched & tried so many different knots & this one I was finally able to do it & it works great. Thank you so much
Just saw your video and tied my 30lb braid to 12 lb flourocarbon, came out so nice and tiny! Can’t wait to cast it! Thanks
@Cameron Fare 30lb braid is very thin so I can add a ton of line and it lasts forever, I only have to re tie a short piece of leader when it frays.
This is my go-to knot, great demo. It is also doable in the wind, since I kayak fish a lot, that is important.
Wow tried this for the first time was getting frustrated cause I’m using 10lb onto 14lb and I’ve got big fingers 😂 but got it first time and man it’s a primo knot. I just hope the 1st one wasn’t a fluke 😂😂 thank you
Thanks for the new knot. 👍🏻
Neat one. You could also add a few half hitches with the braid tag. That would form a slight build up and cause it to run through the guides even smoother.
I always cover line joining knots in clear nail polish
Definently going to learn how to tie this knot! I'm a beginner and I'm starting to realize that here in Finland Northern Pikes are really common fish and even you're targeting Perch or Zander the Pikes are out there, that as I learn how to fish better, the pikes are getting bigger and you start to lose more lures and fish. :D Also when jigging in rocky shores and bays the fluorcarbon seems a must thing.
this knot is just as strong as fg but so much easier to do. thanks for the info.
Not only it's extremely strong, but it's also beautiful and clean. Thanks for sharing! And BTW any news about your boat? if you don't mind me asking...
Boat update soon :)
@@ReelReports is albright knot
You made it look simple. Awesome. Could you join leadcore sheath to say fluoro or braid or mono? Thanks
I use this knot all the time it is easy & tough but I found that if you go back through the loop the opposite way it stops the last wrap from coming off the mono when you pull it up tight.
Thank you so much...Nice tutorial. Easy to follow. preparing for Happy Fishing
Best knot video on TH-cam. You rule the underground
Thanks! I’ve tried other knots and it was a mess, This is easy and it works!
I watched this video shortly after being published. Switching from the double uni, permanently. This is a much stronger knot. I have yet to break off my entire leader from my braided line, time and time again, it's my hook.
I'm with you. I recently lost a Jackhammer chatterbait when my leader snapped mid-cast.
Thanks, knots are my Bain ! This one worked , it ain’t easy using lighter lines .
Great knot a buddy showed me this when I was doing the double uni I thought that’s what he tied but he would do it way faster then finally bam this knot what’s going on with the boat ?
Thank you Captain Mike, very helpful and great presentation...
Such a great knot. Will it work all right for braid to braid as well?
Brilliant knot thanks 👌👌👍💯
hell ya my favorite line to leader knot as well
I wonder how it would do going through the guides when doing long casts from the surf. Also compared to the slim beauty and other knots...?
My go to leader to braid knot works for everything from really light test to heavy lines on my cat and sturgeon setups.
I'd love to see a video devoted to uses of the Bimini Twist. Bimini with Crazy Alberto, Albright, Uni and whatever else you use. Also, how long of a loop for different applications. I know you've covered some of these questions in various videos but it would be great to have a more or less exhaustive tutorial on what you can do with a Bimini Twist.
You da Man Capt. Mike! Thanks for the great video...this is my go to knot now!! :)
Great knot, simple and quick thanks
Captain Mike, does it work for an size braid to mono?
brilliant tried it this morning ,
Good knot, good knot😊
I’ll have to try it.
Love this knot. I do 8 wraps up/8 wraps down.
Thanks so much for this, just tied it and it is so much easier and faster than the FG and it seems to be thinner. Now to try it!
It’s good to know all those knots.
Ok, it may not be thinner than the fg but it is way more reliable, faster, and still pretty thin. No failures yet.
Thankyou this helped me loads
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Great knot easy to do!
Thankyou....going to fishing stripers on the Colorado river in Arizona, how long a leader do you recommend? Thanks again.
great knot thanks easy to follow
Thanks ilmunya🙏
I LOVE THIS KNOT🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💨🐟
A blind man could tie this knot with ease it’s super strong may not be as strong as the PR knot but for ease of tying much better knot for the average fisherman
My favorite knot for a few years now for everything from 10lb braid to 20fluoro all the way up to my 80lb braid to 80fluoro.
Im not saying this knot sucks its good but for your info incase you want to use these knot The strongest knots are pr knot and fg knot But just so you know i perder the fg knot
@@warrior5348 the fg is strong but is really a tie the night before kind of knot, the alberto takes 10 seconds.
in your opinion which would be the best knot to use braid to braid the double uni knot vs the blood knot which one would you choose
Will be giving this a try!
I use that same knot. I also add a drop of superglue.
Great video..I currently use the fg knot but the finish of the knot comes undone sometimes after repeated casting. This knot looks a bit more secure..is it as strong as the fg knot and is it ok for thicker mono like 70-80lb??
Excellent! Thankyou!
Love this vid. So sweet knot here
Love this knot!!
Very simple.... Very easy.....
Can i use this to spool my reel while makimg the bakeup with mono to braid and spool my reel with it ??...or this knot might cause my problems while casting ?
Awesome presentation 👏 👌 Thanks 😊 👍
This knot has a mono tag facing the guides as you cast, when the most velocity is going to occur as your lure bangs out over the water.
Pro tip: Wrap the mono facing / outbound end with Teflon Dental floss. Or just wrap the whole knot with it.
@@rdzed3505 or just tie an fg knot, where this doesn't occur and u dont need dental floss to tidy it up
@@kickthephase8750 or just skip the FG because its inferior knot and use Teflon floss to slip all your knots through your guides, like silk. Try it. Come back and tell me whats up.
@@rdzed3505 rather knot (see what i did there?) waste my time using extra material to tie a knot when my fg doesn't fail, period, nor require any extra bs to finish it......the rest of the world disagrees with you champ.
@@kickthephase8750 You're right.
I tried the “double uni” knot over the weekend for Ned-Rig.... Got two snags and both times the line broke at the knot without straightening that skinny little hook..... I’ll definitely try this next.
What top shot would you recommend with 80# Braid?
looks like a variation of an Albright if you tie a spider hitch and use double braid into the knot it makes it stronger and gives you a little bit more abrasion resistance , depending on how long you want your spider hitch
Thanks Mike
I like to put a tiny drop of superglue on my Alberto knots after I cinch them tight. Not sure if it makes that much of a difference but it is just the way I was originally taught to tie them so it stuck with me. Either way, great video. Cheers.
Nailed it first shot this video made life easy!! Cheers mate!!
Great knot, great vid!! 👍
Just what i needed to know. Thanks.
Just lost a brand new frog because of a blood knot failure today, so this video is timed perfectly, lol.
Losing new gear is the worst
Sorry to hear bout your lost brand new frog,Buddy.. Theres no success without failures or losses.. wish you happy fishing and tight lines!💪
