The Albright Knot
February 11th, 2009
The Albright Knot is the perfect knot for joining mono to braid, which makes it the ideal knot for combi link rigs or leaders. Below is a step by step photographic sequence showing how to tie The Albright Knot.
Step 1
Form a loop in your mono or fluorocarbon.
Step 2
Thread your braid through the nylon loop
Step 3
Whip the braid around the nylon going away from the loop about 5-6 turns. if you
are a belt and braces person you can whip another 5-6 turns going back towards
loop but I have never found it necessary. The version shown makes for a neater
more unobtrusive knot.
Step 4
Thread tag end of the braid back through the nylon loop the same way it came in
Step 5
Gently tease the knot together
Step 6
Bed the knot down tightly, it is probably best not to moisten this knot before tightening
Step 7
Trim tag ends
Step 8
The finished Albright Knot.
Best fishes,
John
