Northwest Fishing Reports

Just looking for some other knots been using the modified albright

I'd say a double uni-knot. It's what I use, though the Yucatan knot is supposed to be the strongest braid to mono joiner.

I use a double uni.

double uniknot all the time

For the easiest knot, the double Uni for sure.

For the strongest and smoothest knot, there are three choices.
1) Seible knot
2) PT knot
3) My knot - LOL

The first two are on YouTube, but I have not put mine on yet. Someday I will get around to getting a video camera.

Does it matter if im using fluorocarbon or mono. right now i got 40 pound power pro with a two foot leader of 10 pound viscous fluorocarbon

double uni every time

Uni to uni won the braid to flouro test on knot wars. I have used the leader knot with much success, I like the smaller knot it makes.

I use either blood knot or double uni

Blood or double uni.

FC is a lot slicker, so it is harder to get the PT or Seible knot to hold. On the Double Uni, both Mono and FC will work just fine.

If you are only using a two foot leader, don't mess with the PT or Seible knot. These two knots take a lot of time to tie and are designed to be realed into the guides and onto the real. Just lubricate the double knot very well when you snug it down.

Much better knot then the blood knot, for size and overall strength.

Note that Knot Wars did not test the PT or Seible knot, both of which would have beat the double Uni in strength and size, but they take so long to tie that it probably is not worth the time for just a couple of feet of leader.

I like the Gob knot. No two are ever the same, they will never come undone, and you cannot untie them, ever.

OK, seriously, I use the double uniknot and on every thing else, the uniknot.

Nice hey thanks for the info i went out to clear lake pierce county hooked a nice size smb lost it at the boat the modified albright worked good then lost my jig on a log my palmor knot gave away my modified albright held up
