The Albright Knot.

 

Thanks to Shytalk for putting me onto this one.

 

This is a great knot for tying your mainline braid to a thick mono shock leader.

 

The tag end of the mono leader (yellow) can be cut off really short, making it a really small, neat knot that doesn't catch or collect weed.

 

For added security, I add a drop of super glue.

I''ve been using this knot for my braid to leader knot for years, with no issues.

 

Last time out I had TWO of them come undone while playing fish. 

 

What am I doing wrong? (I've just noticed BobF suggests putting a spot of glue on it too, which I hadn't noticed before, but it would assume he's also had this happen for him to recommend a drop of glue).

 

Does anyone have any suggestions, because one of those I lost was a nice fish!

Never had an issue myself, are you doubling up the braid when you tie it?

Is the mono you are tying to, too supple?

Ive never had an issue till this last lot .... what do you mean by "doubling up the braid"? 

 

You could be onto something because these two knots were done on the same evening so I might have missed something.

I was shown to double it up, esp with thin braid. Just make a 6/9" loop of braid and wrap that thought, up, down and back through instead of single strand......has worked for me.
