Strongest Line To Line Knot?

Featured Replies

I'm going to spool my spinning rig with braid to try out this week before a tournament Saturday and was wondering what the strongest line to line knot would be for attaching a fluoro leader? I've been throwing 8lb fluoro for wacky rigs, but breaking off 5-6lb fish in thick cover. I'm thinking I can spool up with braid and use a strong fluoro leader and eliminate the breaks. Any help on the knots would be great. Thanks!

If you're tying directly to the braid, the uni/uni knot is my choice.

For line to line connections it's hard to beat the standard Albright Special or the Modified Albright (Alberto) Knot. I use both of them. The Alberto knot is a little shorter, but a bit bulkier than the Albright. The Albright is a bit longer but a bit more compact than the Alberto. Both of them are great knots that are fairly easy to tie once you get the hang of them.

Thanks for the quick replies! I went ahead and tied up the Albright knot, I'll try it out this week and see what happens!!

Is the line to line knot a better choice than adding a swivel? Like I said, I'll be strictly wacky rig fishing this rod. Just curious...I figured the line to line would be stronger than the two knots required for the swivel, and I was afraid I might lose some action on the worm also...

Yes swivels IMO are not the best choice for braid to floro leaders

I really wouldn't recommend using a swivel, you'll feel it smack every guide on the way out. The albright knot you can still feel, but its a lot more sleek.
