just went and pitched a few dozen times in the backyard. 12 ft leader? The knot through the guides is annoying!!!!! Feel it catching on the guides and it's shortening the distance and the noise is annoying! There's gotta be a better way lol edit* hooked the jig to the fence and pulled like all hell the knot is definitely tough

At times I find the knot coming thru the guides a bit annoying as well, however I do not think it affects the distance, leader is about 3'. I tie my knot with less cross wraps and it seems to be smaller.  I don't have a set number of up and down wraps, whatever makes a neater knot depending on the combination of braid and leader thicknesses.  Standard bass or peacock set up is 10# braid and 10# leader, 7 wraps up and 1 down.  Standard inshore set up 15 or 20# braid and 30# leader, 8 up and 2 down, been holding just fine on 25+ fish saltwater fish.  I have not retied my joining knot or loop knot to my lure in 4 days of fishing, just left the same lure on.

the rod I'm intending on pitching with is what I want to have leader on. I usually have a rod length of line out when I cast/pitch. I think if I trim leader down so knot isn't going through the eyes I'll be alright.

Check out this video.  BY far the easiest I have found.  Haven't had break yet.

 

I usually use the uni to uni, but the Alberto looks way easier... Gonna have to try it.

I tried the fc knot as well and kept sliding out on me....not sure what i was doing wrong

Only tie braid to floro in winter and use Seaguar Knot. It's fast and lets me get gloves on in a hurry.

Once I started using the Alberto knot, I won't go back to anything else.

Couldn't agree more!  This is the best knot for braid to flouro/mono in my opinion.

Alberto is easy. You can't really mess it up. I used to use double uni knot but I like the profile of the Alberto much better. Skinny is good.
