So now there's a new name for the same knot...how convienent.

Saliva is increasing as I watch this work of magic.......na but seems like alot of twisting.

Crazy Alberto invented the knot for striper fishing.  End of story.

a rose is a rose is a rose...

I'm gonna redo the knot with my OWN name, then.    Lessee, the "D knot".   Yeah, that's the ticket.   Berkely wants all the praise....  

I thought it was called the "F Knot" ...   

Double ought knot...

Double ought knot...

 

Actually has a decent ring to it...

Uh! what's the difference?

That's what I've been calling the 20 twist lose my lure knot! (only cuz I can't ever get it right...)

I thought it was called the "Might Knot"

 

Might Hold ~ Might Knot.

Uh! what's the difference?

same as the alberto knot except 10 twists each direction instead of 8?

Not sure about that. I thought the Alberto/Albright (and mods) were variable in wraps up, and/or wraps down.

 

So I could Mod Albright 15 up, 10 down....and it'd still be an Albright/Alberto variant.

 

Heck if I know.   

I thought it was called the "Might Knot"

It's an "Always Hold" for me!! But that doesn't have the same ring to it, does it... LOL

I tie this not or a variant of it all the time I have only had it fail once but I'm blaming it on the vanish flouro..........

You said it all when you said Vanish..

Vanish…it's what happens to your fish when you use that line.

The modified Albright is the only one I use.  Much easier to tie on dry land though .  I usually pre-tie mine at the house or prior to launch.

That's what happened to the smallmouth of a lifetime for me. Reached down to lip him and"ping".  Vanish "%%$$#@@$^&*\".   Truth.  

Man that's a lot of wraps.  I do 5 up and 5 back with the Alberto and have never had it fail yet.

I have never had an alberto knot, WITH VANISH as a leader, fail on me. I really like Vanish. It's cheap, and it's pretty d**n abrasion resistant. The only problem I ever really had with it was that it had the memory of an elephant so I would never recommend using it as a main line. Other than that, I think it's the perfect source of leader material. And yes, I throw it in rocks, timber, grass, razor blades, knife edges, and running chain saws....no problems. .

 

As far as the alberto knot itself, I have had tons of lures get stuck, and every time I pull and break them off, the line breaks at the lure knot, or somewhere where it has been nicked along the leader, than before the leader/main alberto knot.

  Now now, let's play nice.
