Best Braid to Flurocarbon Knot

My go to braid to fluro knot on my spinning setups!! #fishing #bassfishing #knots #smallmouthbass

[@ericsh8576]

I have searched for a strong, simple and small knot that can be tied quickly and easily. Trust me this one is the BEST!! 10 out of 10 on all the aforementioned criteria.

[@Eriebasscharters]

Thanks man! It won’t let you down!!

[@SeaSlider33]

Tried this today and all I can say is thank you. It definitely works better than anything ales I’ve tried. 10lb Super Braid with 8 lb red label fluorocarbon

[@Eriebasscharters]

Great to hear!

[@n8greatcards190]

Perfect Explanation. And my 20lb braid to 8 lb fluro knot just lasted a few fish, and a bunch of snags including tree across the pond lol! Awesome..STRONG & EASY Knot!

[@Eriebasscharters]

Glad it helped!

[@daleporter9162]

Been using this knot past 2 months…It’s perfect…quick to tie out on the boat and strong..no fails so far.

[@Eriebasscharters]

It has never failed me! We’ve boated almost 2,000 smallmouths this year so far with this knot!

[@TheVulcanrider03]

Best knot thank so much for this

[@user-ql4iw6tb4m]

Thank you so much!!! Finally, a knot that works and is simple to use.

[@Eriebasscharters]

You're welcome!

[@henryfouche7832]

Now that’s a knot I will remember, easy enough. Thanks!!

[@Eriebasscharters]

You bet!

[@bradbolton9041]

Watched b4 and as easy as it looks, i just couldn't get it. Lost the video and after 2 weeks search FOUND AGAIN. Now i get it... easy, straight to the point, thank you. Very glad you used smaller braid and Fluorocarbon. Im fishing 4# mono and 4# Fluorocarbon for trout. Tougher to tie but usually once is all. Thanks again for the video!! Brad

[@Eriebasscharters]

I’m glad you found it again! It’s awesome on super light line!!

[@kennethallds6779]

Fishing for trout also, except I'm in southern California. This knot looks awesome especially for old 60 year old eyes.

[@ReelBasileno]

Not sure what knot Im using connecting my braid to leader line but it has been very effective to me.

[@getlostgocamping9028]

This is a great simple and fast knot. Thank you for sharing! 🤙

[@Eriebasscharters]

Glad you like it! Thanks!

[@nawinchester]

That is super slick. Thanks for sharing.

[@Eriebasscharters]

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍 gonna try it !

[@Eriebasscharters]

Hope you like it!

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

That’s a really strong knot! Thanks for sharing

[@Eriebasscharters]

No problem!

[@whitetailcreative]

Slick! I’ll have to give that a shot!

[@Eriebasscharters]

Let me know what you think!!

[@timwilliams632]

Thank you

[@rickyreynolds9056]

I like it thank you!!

[@Eriebasscharters]

No problem thanks for the feedback!

[@FishNFoolLures]

This is an Albright knot tied with a doubled up braid line. I would think the Crazy Alberto knot which is tied almost the same would be a better choice

[@Eriebasscharters]

We catch 1000s of fish a year on this knot with zero failures. I think we’ll stick with it!

[@CM-L5P814]

Good tip 👍🏻

[@Eriebasscharters]

Thanks 👍

[@trumpking4874]

So u went back thru the loop the opposite direction as what u want thru originally?? Is that correct

[@Eriebasscharters]

Yes sir

[@geostrong3606]

Thk u s ir I will be using it this season

[@Eriebasscharters]

No problem!!! Good luck this year!

[@RCSTILE]

I am a biologist and to my knowledge their has been no signifigant increase in the mental capacity of fish since the wide spread use of braided line began about 20 years ago. If a fish will readily hit a spinner bait and a bladed jig, neither of which look like any living creature I have ever seen in the water, why would this same fish be frightened off by a piece of fishing line that is .015mm in diameter?

[@Eriebasscharters]

I don’t use light line just because I think fish can see it or not. Lighter line gives certain baits better and more natural action in finesse situations. We have 20ft of visibility at times on Lake Erie. I will tell you for a fact that if you’re drop shotting with straight braid or heavy flurocarbon you will get a 10th of the bites compared to if your fishing with a 6lb fluro leader. I have no college degree but that’s just my on the water experience.

[@danholtbk7008]

In super clear water I've watched bluegills (which are probably not considered too smart) take a look at a worm on a hook and swim away. But if you bury the whole hook so all they see is worm - game over. They apparently do learn if they've been caught and released a few times.

[@anablakp3200]

You could have used larger and different color lines for contrast.

[@eventhorizonjac]

A slim beauty? I think that’s the name of it, could be wrong, but if I remember correctly it’s called a slim beauty.

[@byronporter80]

Have you tried this on large fish over 50 lbs?

[@danholtbk7008]

Just curious, if your drag is set correctly why would it matter how big the fish is?

[@larryfrancis5839]

Those Tag ends will hang up on the line guides

[@Eriebasscharters]

They will not. Cut them short and try it.

[@michaelbeckman1794]

You said that it goes through your spinning rod guides with no problem. How does it do on the smaller baitcaster rods? I have made up a 2' floro leader attached to the lure and the other end tied to a spit ring to attach it a snap attached to braid to make it more versatile. I have 6 reels, 5 with braid, 1 dedicated floro reel.

[@SciD1]

The Yucatan.

[@thegoods2240]

That's a variation of the Yucatan knot.

[@FishNFoolLures]

No it a Albright knot tied with a double line

[@BenTurner-kx7zv]

You reckon it’s better than the double uni knot

[@Eriebasscharters]

It’s quicker and easier. I’ve never once had it fail and I guide full time on Lake Erie!

[@_gw33do_]

Albright knot

[@melvinrubio2278]

Looks almost like the carrot knot.

[@jackbriscoe1504]

This is an albright knot, the only difference is the doubling over of the braid.

[@donburnett8594]

Learn how to tie the RP knot … it’s used to catch large bluefin tuna

[@Eriebasscharters]

We catch 1000s of smallmouths a year on this simple knot with zero issues. I think I’ll stick with it!

[@bobbarnhill8557]

The RP knot. Royal Polaris. Is an Improved Albright/Crazy Alberto knot. Its even been called the John Collins knot.

[@Matt-yr9qo]

This is a John Collin’s Knot
