ALBRIGHT
KNOT
Uses The Albright Knot is used to
join monofilaments with different diameters. It is commonly used to join the fly
line to the fly-reel backing line. It is well suited to slide readily through
the guides when a fish pulls enough to reach your backing.

Tying it: It is important to
wind the loops neatly round the loop of larger line. Hold the
loops under your fingers as you wind the line on.
Advantages: The Albright is relatively smooth and passes through rod guides when required. Some anglers coat the knot with a rubber based cement to make it even smoother and more secure. |
