Steve S Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks for posting. Well that is a new one to me. Looks strong if the mono does not slip out. I will give it a try at home first. Quote
iansimpson63 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I use the Albright knot but this looks to be worth a go and appears to do away Ruth the need to leave a short tag end. Quote
Stuie Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I'll be giving this one a try too - thanks Trev I wonder about a tiny drop of superglue on the last half hitch...... Mal Thomas 1 Quote
Steve S Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I think applying superglue could be counter productive. The principle seems to be that the braid tightens round the mono as the line pressure is increased stopping it slipping out superglue round the braid knot would stop that. Will need to try.

Rob Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I'll let you guys try and feedback! I'll go with my tried and tested method, until I hear back! Quote
Jim Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I have to keep youtube videos on my phone. With a combination of old age and not getting out much, I can never remember how to tie them. So I have to watch some instructions before giving them a go ! The wonders of modern technology ! ! Jim Quote
niggle Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Who checked out the "girls gone fishing" at the bottom of the page? I did before the knot,wouldn't want to try that while wrecking ......the knot I mean Bramble banker 1 Quote
Bramble banker Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 I've used this knot before but tied differently, a good knot but a bit of a faff when your out wrecking and continually changing gear. Albright wins for me. G Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
great white Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 E have just returned from our fishing holiday overseas Learnt this one before we went and used it a lot Lines were 66 or 88 lb power pro Leaders varied from 80 lb to 120 lb mono We caught a lot of fish to 150lb and this knot never failed once Fully recommended When I recover from the flight I will add a report on our trip Maverick Martin, Rob, Steve S and 4 others 7 Quote
