Thanks for sharing, and easy to do. Definitely will give this knot a try. I never really had a problem with uni to uni. This is definitely a stronger knot.

I also prefer the albright , I never had one slip and I find them easy to tie.

Once you get the hang of it ( very ez ) you will see a difference. I actually make it a bit different than the video but just as strong.

Agree the Albright or Modified Albright is a great knot. Easy to tie, but make sure to keep the wraps on the mono when tightening down, once the wraps slip onto the braid, i end up cutting it and redoing it.

Thanks for the feedback. I tried the Albright after this happened but was a little harder to do then the modified Albright. I will definitely try it. Strange thing was I never had a problem with the uni to uni before.

You sure your line wasn't dry rotted?

Positive. Ande 50lb mono leader material. Used it all fall with no problems. Maybe I forgot how to tie that day. Just tied the Albright. Very easy and strong. Also goes through the guides smoother.
