The Alberto is what I use as well. Never knew what it was called until just now but an old timer showed me that knot several years ago for tying heavy 100# braid to 60# mono backing on my heavy flathead rigs. He recommended using knot glue but I've never used it nor had the knot slip either.

Ima try doubling the braid

I’ll have to give this one a try. It looks like a reverse Albright, which is what I normally tie.

FG knot is low profile and is smooth through the guides, but I’ve had them slip and come undone. So I don’t do them anymore. User error for sure. I use uni to uni but have had breakoffs. Not often but has happened on bulls and a tarpon. I did Bimini twist one time. Worked well but too thick for inshore fishing. I’ll have to try the Alberto.

Looks like that should be a fairly small knot. It also might be the easiest line joining knot I’ve ever seen. I usually tie an Albright but may have to give this one a try.

And re-tie often. I check my line a lot. And and little nick I cut and tie. I am not going to stop checking my line in that first 10 feet to the hook or lure. Or leader for that matter. But when I have a break off and knew my line was nicked I get pretty pissed at myself

Easy tie but I’ve had it fail whereas I’ve never had a uni to uni fail. U2U sucks for the rod guides though

My favorite Alberto video. Extra wraps at the end and make sure you really lock it down,

I recently bought a bobbin and started tying PR knots. Idk that its actually any better than anything else, but it looks cool and is fun to do.
Definitely wouldn't want to be doing it on the deck of the boat though. I've started putting ~ 100 feet of fluorocarbon topshot on everything, and it works great for that.

FG

Double Uni always

Learn the FG and never look back. It took me a little while to learn watching YouTube videos but once you learn it you figure out how simple it is. My connection has never failed since I’ve been tying it. It goes through your eyelets easily too.

canyon, the FG. I can show you how to tie it.

One of the easiest and most effective knots to use is the simple surgeon's knot. I use it to connect 30lb braid to 17lb fluro; it has never failed.
