quote:I generally use double uni, but it can present issues, especially with the tag ends. I would say probably Alberto since the mono section has no coils and is only loops back on itself. The smaller braid is what is wrapped over and over. I avoid any joining knot that involves coils of mono/fluoro if size of the knot presets an issue.
When connecting braid to mono after starting the spool with mono, what is the best knot to use so there is as little a knot as possible in the spool.

Alberto is significantly easier for me to tie and I’ve never had a failure either.
Yeah, I use alberto for tying fluorocarbon leaders to braid and have never had a failure.

Yall are over analyzing, any knot will do since you’re using it over a hundred yards down on the spool. If your knot is an issue you have bigger problems than the knot

How much mono do you try to get on the spool before you braid? How many wraps of mono am I aiming for?

quote:I don't have a one size fits all answer. It depends on size of the spool and what I am trying to accomplish. I am mostly just trying to prevent waste of expensive braid. if you are just trying to prevent slippage, you're not going to need much mono at all. I rarely fish for things that will spool me. The salt people will have a better answer if that is the concern.

That's why we catch more fish than you.
Albright vs. Alberto Knot Test
5 tests, alberto broke twice, albright broke 3 times. That tells me they're very similar, but they need a bigger sample size to confirm their results.

I don’t worry about my knot here because we are mostly talking about inshore rods with fairly light drag and using 15-30 lb mono leader and 15-30 lb braid. Your normal inshore drag setting is under 10 lbs, so the knots really not going to be tested.
