This week I’m masking one other line-to-line connection knot, the Alberto Knot. This knot was invented by “Crazy Alberto” Alberto Knie for the precise goal of connecting braided strains to monofilament strains. Being an avid surf fisherman from the east coast, usually fishing in windy circumstances Alberto wished a robust knot which you could simply tie within the wind. The Alberto knot is just like the Albright Knot from final week by which it is also tied to a doubled chief line. They additionally share the trait of with the ability to run by way of guides simply. For demonstration functions, the black paracord is a stand-in for the thicker monofilament chief and the pink braid is a stand-in to your braided mainline.
Editor’s Note: I’m a novice at knot tying and loved this step-by-step writeup from Eugene. I’ve additionally discovered the Animated Knots web site to be useful up to now.
Alberto Knot – Step 1
Start off together with your important braided line and your thicker monofilament chief line, after which double up your monofilament chief line right into a loop.
Step 2
The braided line is then run by way of the loop of the thicker chief line. You wish to run about 10″ of the braided line by way of that loop.
Step 3
Holding the loop of the chief line together with your left hand, begin wrapping the braided line across the doubled chief line. You wish to make 7 even wraps across the doubled loop of line.
Step 4
Once you end the primary seven wraps up the loop, you’re going to make seven extra wraps again down the loop. Make positive the wraps are going proper over the earlier loops. Then run the tag finish of the braided line again by way of the loop of your chief.
Step 5
Once the tag finish is again within the unique loop, evenly begin pulling the Alberto Knot to tighten up the wraps. Once the wraps are all tight you possibly can then reduce off the tag ends and your Alberto Knot is able to be fished.
