Albright Knot Video | Braid to Fluorocarbon Knot Contest

- The Albright knot is one of the most popular fishing knots for anglers who like to use braided line.
And it's popularity is due to it ease of tying along with the fact that it is a strong knot....
But how strong is it compared to other braid to leader connections?
Well we decided to put it to the test against another extremely popular knot called the Crazy Alberto Knot to see which one is the strongest.
And then we put the winner up against the reigning champion knot from our previous braid to knot contests (FG knot).

Thanks, this is a new one for me. Your knot vids are always easy to see & understand. You have a calling.
This is my go-to knot for my leaders. Its easy to do in the field and I've had great experience with it.
Thanks for the clear instructions.
I never had really tied knots before but thank you so much! I'm going ocean fishing tomorrow in a charter and decided to use this knot wish me luck!
Nice simple tutorial ! I just attempted it snd got it the first time! Thank you from Boston! Stripers are on their way!! Have a great season! Andrew Carlson
Thank you very much. Clear and easy to follow demonstration. From Sydney Australia.
I found this video extremest helpful! If you don't mind I've embedded it into my blog post to pass the knowledge on. Thanks for the tutorial :)
Thanks! This is now my go-to knot for my finesse rod
It worked for me on a huge stingray probably 40" wide. So i am happy with it.
So, what I am getting from this, is that I will just stick with my trusty double uni. haha. Not once have I ever had a breakoff and just as easy, if not easier to tie. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve also had a lot of luck with the double uni knot!!
The Albright is noticeably smaller in size but I still use the double uni just because it’s so easy to tie while I am wading.
This is a simple knot, just practice a few tjmes.
Can't do uni to uni with 80bls floro😊
I LOVE THIS KNOT ALONG WITH THE ALBERTO KNOT IN SOME CASES BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SMALL KNOT THAT WILL GO UP INTO MY REEL AND BE CASTABLE, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO USE LEADERS LONGER THAN MY ROD...
I love the Albright knot! Strong and secure and fairly easy to tie once your learn it.
Thank you for the great instructions. Good fishing to you!
Wow, super easy to do! Thank you very much!!!
Ty. Saved me while alone in a spillway !!!!
Thanks for the video. Just tried it, and I completed successfully on my three baitcasters. Thanks!
i really like the song..cheers...
Great video man. Really helped me out
Bravo è molto semplice nella spiegazione, complimenti
Ciao Nicola
Great tip - thanks for the help.
Thank you for your help Brother,
Thanks for the great tutorial!!!!
Excellent video!
Awesome knot I’m going to start using that one
I’ve used the improved Albright and have never had it slip. Hooked into some big poons and other than loosing the fish the knot held very well.
It's a good knot for braid to mono or single strand wire to mono. Other sources have suggested using many more wraps for braid. That makes a very long knot that can hamper line coming off a spinner well. I'll try it with 12 wraps & see how I do. Thanks for that detail.
Been using the Albright for years and have never had one break. I'm going to try the improved Albright next time I change leaders because I've heard say they are easier to tie. Good fishing everyone!
I recommend trying the FG knot after performing this strength test of the Improved Albright, Crazy Alberto, and the Fg Knot: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
Thanks for the clear guide, tried it an got it 1st go, which is unusual for me, seems super strong so my go-to knot here forth 👍
Thanks for taking the time to write the nice comment! We greatly appreciate it!
thanks so much,got me and my papaw frustrated earlier as this is my first experience with braid and we gave up and i just used straight braid,i found another video on this knot but it was telling the info wrong and everytime i cut the tags, it broke.But this did not and got me proud to do it
It took me like three tries, but it worked! Thanks
Learned something today. I need to re-do my mono to braid tie. I did the uni knot. That one looks smaller. Thanks for the great information.
If you're using a stronger mono than the braid, then I highly recommend the FG knot over this Albright knot because it's thinner and has tested to be 30% stronger too. Here's a post showing how to tie it: www.saltstrong.com/articles/how-to-tie-the-fg-knot/
@@Saltstrong Thank you very much. Will do as advised.
A somewhat belated comment, although I've just visited (again) your knot strength website - specifically to check this result, as for braid to fluoro. Though FG still the king in your head to head tests, something did strike me as interesting, and I wonder if you could include the following two knots (still braid to fluoro) in a head to head (as they show similar stats relative to the FG) :
Doubled-Over Double Uni Knot
vs Crazy Alberto Knot. Though I'm practising the FG, untl I can confidently tie it properly, I (and I'm sure many others) would still want to use another (2nd best) option, which would, according to your tests, then be one of these 2 mentioned knots. Thanks for all your effort in showing knots - knot anatomy has become very interesting !! PS In my case, my fluoro is stronger than my braid).
Thanks, good tutorial
The only leader knot I use. I can tie it right every time and it goes through my baitcasters and micro-guides easily. I suppose if I was using heavier line like you salt fisherman do, I’d learn the FG knot. For bass fishing the Albright knot has never let me down. Not once.
Thanks for sharing!
Good.thanks
Thx!!
Hi I'm new to fishing so this might sound stupid to others.... I connect my line to the leader by swivel. So if I do this knot does it mean I don't need to use a swivel?
Best knot in the boat, in prep i always go with albertoknot as it is smoother ove the rings and albright tends to snag the braid.
So when I tried this, my fluoro pulls through the slippery braid. I think if you put a small overhand knot as an anchor to keep it from slipping through it would work better. I think I'll just use my ol trustable double Uni. Thanks for the Video, none the less!
Mantep
Great knot well explained, i use this knot slightly different, mine tests 60 to 70%. The only 100% knot is the pr knot, despite what some you tubers say. Thanks
Lost a BIG red fish along with 3 1/2 ft of floro leader this morning thanks to me tying this knot. Not mad at you or the knot. But definitely not going to use this one again.
Lol
@@loungydoc touché vik.
I was using this knot and had a similar experience.
Surgeon knotbis much better
I go up and down with the braid..
West coast here- we always attach a much lighter leader line to our braid and this knot and the FG are for the opposite- what’s the best knot for 10, 20 or 30lb braid to oh let’s say 10lb fluorocarbon?
Can i use this setup for bottom?
thanks bro I live the knot I was looking for one and you taught me one thanks
how is that going through guides?
Good knot there Chief. Vv How does it compare to the FG knot?
Here's a strength test between this, the FG knot, and the Alberto knot: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
This is a great knot and has never let me down, but people mostly obsess over the double uni knot.
Yes, the Crazy Alberto is a solid knot. I agree that it's better than the double uni for braid to mono/fluoro connections. One big reason the Uni is so popular is because it can be used for all types of lines where the Alberto is specifically for braid to mono/fluoro.
Note: The FG knot is the one that has outperformed them all for braid to mono/fluoro, so be sure to check that one out if you haven't already done so. Here's a link to a knot contest where the FG proved to be 30+ % stronger than the Alberto knot while being 50% thinner. www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
Question from a newbie Trout Fisherman: Eastern Sierras
If I use a 2-4lb leader does it matter what weight Braid I use...I like the yellow in15-20Lb braid paired with 3-4 ft of 2-4 Lb fluoro leader...Is there a problem with this setup I'm not seeing
I like to go as light as possible on my mainline to increase casting distance and decrease water drag. Here's a test on casting distance in case you haven't yet seen it: www.saltstrong.com/articles/casting-distance-experiment-10-vs-20-braid/
Been using the modified albright for a few years now and only failed me once. Great knot and ties quick with practice.
Thanks for checking it out!
Ending Credit: Song and Artist?
I use this knot it is easier than a double unie
This knot cast good through the guides??
Does FG knot, not work for fluoro?
Sure does!
I hav 65 lb braided line what size Fluorocarbon to buy
So, who won the contest?
The FG knot won this contest against the Albright and Crazy Alberto knots... here's a link for the details: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
Do you use a clasp and swivel to connect leader to your lure?
No, a direct knot is better in most cases.
@@Saltstrong thanks man!
Try the modified Albright just as easy to tie and improves strength. I also break at or near the lure and or in between on snags. The knot never breaks.
+GabooNx Yes, the modified Albright is a bit stronger than the traditional abright knot (I used it in some prior knot tests). However, it is 30% weaker than the FG knot when connecting 10 lb PowerPro braid to a fluorocarbon leader. Be sure to give the FG knot a try if you have not already done so (www.saltstrong.com/articles/fg-knot/)... it's the strongest braid to fluoro knot I've tested while also being the slimmest of the all.
If you're going for strength and/or small size of a braid to leader knot, then I highly recommend the FG knot... here's a test of it against the Albright and Alberto: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
Txt!!!!!!!!!!!
Wots the name of the song at the end please
I tried the knot and I can't tie it, not sure if it's because I am left handed, this knot eludes me..
Tie it to the svivel, that way it’s easy
Swivels are too big and don't run through small rod eyes
If I'm running 15lb braid what lb fluro do I use?
should be fine with 20
So why does everyone rave about the fg when this seems soooo much simpler to tie and has a great reputation for holding up?
Because the FG knot has tested to be over 30% stronger than the Alberto knot which proved to be stronger than this Albright knot. Here's a link to the test details: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
@@Saltstrong it takes to long to tie
@@Nathan-lt6bw Yes, the Albright is definitely quicker to tie. However, the FG just takes a minute after some practice assuming the tension method is being used. But with a properly set drag, the Albright knot will work just fine (the FG will just provide an added benefit when in need to stopping a fish from getting into structure or when in need of powering out of an underwater snag since it has a higher breaking strength).
💥💥🌹👍👍💟
Third time I reeled it in it broke, followed directions precisely
I think the FG knot is still stronger. However the Albright knot is easy, and not a bad knot. Another easy knot for braid to leader is the Alberto knot. I think the Alberto is stronger than the Albright, but easier than the FG.
You're correct... here's a test I did on those 3 knots to see how their breaking strengths compare to one another in case interested in the details: www.saltstrong.com/articles/albright-vs-alberto-vs-fg-knot/
This knot suggest for what fish sir
Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time. The blog can be found here:

My flouro pulled out
🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Almost same as RP KNOT
Looks easy until you have the line in your hands
I must have the worst dexterity ever
👀
Don’t try this with sweaty hands it’s dam near impossible
sáng dậy sớm uống trà và giặt đồ song rồi giờ đi câu có mấy người cho vui !
👍
Am I the only one who just ruined a few feet of floro?
No matter how many times you pull on all 4 lines the knot will not slide so pull individual pairs to tighten the knot, trim ends pull on finished item and it just slides apart under tension so impossible does not work don't trust it
Very well done on how to tie that knot.
Glad it was helpful!
Still can’t tie it.
He’s going to fast. He doesn’t slow down it’s hard for my to catch up
This knot is explained wrong!!!
What is wrong with it?
The first turns are not correct
@@j.k.6565 can you be a little more specific since you brought it up.. What did he do wrong? the knot seems fine. The only thing is when he starts wrapping around the fluoro i would of done more then the 3 time he did. I do 5 up and then 6 down. The way he did it is a bit easier then how i do it.
I just rewatched this video and realized why the knot was never as strong as it should’ve been. I was doing it slightly wrong the whole time
This is not done well for the camera.
Way too fast
I know you like fg better. Lol
Mata Kail of a
Slow down dude
not a very good demonstration.... you made it more complicated for no reason
