Have you tried the "Alberto" or modified Albright knot?

I recently came across a most helpful and interesting article about this knot which is not only easy to tie, but excellent for joining different diameter leaders to mono and/or leader-to-braid line connections. Braid is becoming very popular with a lot of anglers, also trophy Bassers who use braid (spectra fibre, such as Tuff Line Plus or Berkley Whiplash) with a fluorocarbon (Seaguar) or mono leader.

Go to www.stripersonline.com/Pages/Articles/article_arby_albertos_knot.shtmlto find out more and to see how to tie this knot step-by-step.

Just for the record, my all-time favourite knot which I use for all other purposes in all my fishing, whether I am using braid, mono or fluorocarbon, is the Uni Knot. This versatile, easy to tie and strong knot can also be tied with a double line for strength that must be experienced to be believed.
