Fishing Knots: Alberto Knot - How to Tie Braid to Fluorocarbon or Braid to Mono

[@willperryman4559]

I’ve watched a dozen videos on the Alberto knot, and I have to say your’s is the very best over all. It’s easy to see, and you give an excellent display and explanation of what you’re doing.✊ Thanks

[@FTWQ]

That awesome to hear! Thank your for the comment!!!

[@mikew8684]

I second that thank you

[@peanutskustomz2466]

Same here 👌

[@GenoIannazzo]

Same with me

[@jacobenriquez1616]

i come back to this video every time i need to re-tie the Alberto knot. cant remember it for the life of me. caught my PB largemouth two days ago and the the knot stayed strong! thank you!

[@FTWQ]

Yes!!! That is so awesome!!! Congrats on your PB and keep slaying them!!!

[@rhsprecher]

I'm old. I have to use bifocals to see and have a little arthritis in my hands. This is the perfect knot for me to tie an 8# leader to my mainline braid. Thanks for producing such a great video!

[@FTWQ]

Thank you!!!

[@fatsidekick]

Best knot for tying braid to leader hands down.

[@matthewdillon1210]

I can do this knot because of the video, but I still watch the video every time I have to tie this. Thanks so much. Love this knot.

[@Schnazola]

A buddy of mine ran some (crude) tests on this knot versus the FG, which won the throwdown by a pound and a half. Considering how EASY the Alberto is to tie compared to the FG, I will be using the Alberto from now on. It's a no-brainer.

[@FTWQ]

That is exactly how I feel about the FG knot. Just too much work when you can tie something easier and basically just as effective.

[@EscapeWithGeorge]

THIS knot is incredible. Never had it bust once and have caught plenty of fish on it. From Kingfish, bonito, sharks etc. Super quick and easy.

[@FTWQ]

It's a beast!!!

[@jailenc6674]

It busts before the mainline does for me.

[@TheBonefixr]

The is is the best and easiest way to join the two lines. That's for making it so easy!

[@reezal77]

Thank you! just started changing from double uni to alberto... also i find it aalberto knot is much neater and easier through the guides compared to double uni... Thanks again!

[@FTWQ]

Anytime! Both knots are great, but the Alberto definitely has a edge over the Double Uni.

[@robregist]

Bookmarked. After struggling with FG with my reading glasses, tried this and got it first time. Much appreciated.

[@FTWQ]

Thank you! Hahaha I'm glad the video could help!!!

[@adolfalvarez5534]

Same here exact same struggle and then this video made life so much easier thanks it is very much appreciated

[@TrexOnTheGame]

I had both hands on the line and my chin on the phone rewinding to keep up😂 but I finally got it! Thank you so much!

[@MG3Angling]

Only knot i run! It has never failed me

[@FTWQ]

Its a great knot!!

[@88mikemoody]

It's embarrassing but I've been tying this knot for years and never realized I had to put the tag end through the loop the same way as the original line, thanks for that! I'm sure that's why some of my Alberto knots fail when I test them.

[@Serpents1600]

I have used the double uni knot for a long time, but I must say, I think I will be tying this from now on just for that little bit of extra strength. Thanks man!

[@FTWQ]

Exactly, definitely have more confidence in this knot with that extra strength

[@robertcroft8909]

I'm not sure which has been more frustrating for me...learning to tie the knot itself OR finding a really great video that teaches it properly, easily and informatively, LOL!!! Yours met the challenge and it is the VERY best video I found!!! The camera angles are perfect, you explained the information in great detail in a very slow, deliberate, and easily understood manner. The result is that my very 1st knot as a follow-along looks just about perfect. I'm going to go fish it right now and hopefully I tied it as well as your video demonstrates! Thank you VERY much. I Liked the video and I subscribed to your Channel. I'm looking forward to seeing what else I can learn from you. Have a God-blessed Resurrection day tomorrow!!! Bob in St. Louis.

[@FTWQ]

Wow!!! I am in awe of this comment!!! You made my day!! Thank you so much!

[@colobisman6132]

I use this knot exclusively and it has never failed me. It's very easy to tie once you practice it a few times.

[@yeseniamatos9612]

Yea same here. I just struggled with the FG. l made a solid tie with my first attempt. Thanks.

This knot, and in particular this video, remains my go to when attaching fluorocarbon leaders to my high vis braid. Thank you!

yep. the other knot i tried wasn't holding on thin fluoro this one works like a dream

[@jamesseed1752]

[@Fict10n]

As a newer bass fisherman i've been having a lot of trouble with getting the right knot to work with a braid to floro type of setup. Thank you so much for the upload, this has been the only video ive been able to find that worked for me. Super strong knot, easy to follow instructions, thanks again!

[@davidhodges1483]

Great video/instruction. I love the Alberto knot and use it 100% of the time when fishing braid to mono leader.

[@FTWQ]

Thank you! Definitely a fantastic knot!!

[@DarthSeanious]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have only ever used a double uni for my hraid to leaders but I want something better. The FG is just not going to happen but this looks like a happy medium and should go through my guides when using a braided leader for surf fishing

[@garethcraddock9971]

Excellent demonstration of the knot. Very useful, thank you. I do different types of fishing. I often forget the knots!... I need to put up a chart near my bedside and get them all memorised- I've only been fishing for 32 years...

[@samdolan5460]

Great video. This is probably the only knot tieing tutorial where I tied the knot on the first try.

[@FTWQ]

That is so awesome to hear! Thank you for watching!

[@vladimirrienas5546]

Only had to watch the video once and I tied the know perfectly thank you

[@TheShelltrack]

Thanks! Needed a knot before I go out on a charter in Florida!

[@FTWQ]

Hope you slay them!

[@alexmorgan7700]

I really like this knot. 35lb braid to 8lb mono leader. Caught a good size common carp at a river this Sat. Knot held up fine. Got hung up multiple times on rocks and or fallen trees under the water. Not one time did the line break at the knot always before it luckily. Hooked up with something big probably another carp but it felt like a tree limb until it started moving. Needless to say, I was applying a lot of force and the knot held once again. Seems like a decent knot to me.

[@tarmac245]

This is a first class video. Now stored in my favorites.

[@FTWQ]

Thank you!!!!

[@conradqualley9295]

I just tied my first floro to braid knot lololol i have always just fished all braid or all floro and thanks to your video i have braid line with floro leader 😁

[@tokay999]

this knot and the FG knot are my go to knots for topshot, I've recently started to tie the Bob sands knot

[@FTWQ]

Yes! For a long time I always went to the double uni knot, but now the Alberto knot has won me over. Lol!

[@pjwillsr]

What alot have said already, but you cover absolutely ever aspect of making this knot. Many others do not verbally describe every move. Well done. I will share this with my fishing friends.

[@FTWQ]

Thank you for that feedback!! I really appreciate hearing that!

Best knot tying video I have ever seen. Thanks so much dude.

[@FTWQ]

That's awesome to hear! No problem at all!!!

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Great video if you run your braid through the loop an extra 2 times at the end it gives you a little extra insurance that your tag end won’t slip. I’ve been using this knot for over 20 years and has never failed me. Use to be called an Albright knot.

[@muskyvictim]

Correct extra 2 times , think it's called Rizzuto ? not sure but I now use this Alberto over double uni. Considering blood knot too though

[@SaMaNtHa.2023]

Wow this is very good for following thank you so much for taking the time and the effort to put so much explaining into it it's very well done and I really appreciate it thank you so much. A buddy of mine Andrew send me the link here and I really appreciate it thank you Andrew.

[@gabrielluongo6363]

This was a great explanation and worked the first try. I’ve had practice knots with other styles slip immediately with narrow slick braid. Though I may have done a bad job with those, this is it for me until I have a problem or see the others actually work. Thanks a bunch!

Great video man! I’m extremely new to fishing and your videos have been super helpful. I just bought a new lews fishing rod that I want to spool it with braided line and attach a leader line. Def will be using your video.

[@jaredlachance348]

Awesome video! Best way to figure it out is to just sit down one evening and start practicing :) not the best for micro guides,but regular guides I haven't had an issue

[@FTWQ]

Thank you! And yes practice really does make perfect!

[@leogarcia7466]

Thank you man, I caught a 20lb lingcod and 14 lb lingcod on the same day with this knot as my leader knot. And continue using this knot!! Caught many 8lb+ red vermillion rockfishs and 12lb Boccaccio rockfishs as well

[@leogarcia7466]

@@FTWQ Came to thank you for another great season of rockfish here in California!! I caught many fish with this knot as my leader!! This knot is stronger and really easy to tie on a rocky boat. Or packed charter boat. I would catch my limits of huge vermilion and Boccaccio rockfish. With plenty of 15+lb lingcods.

Heck yeah! That's is so cool to hear man. Congrats on a great year of fishing! Many more to come!

[@mr.payne1384]

Thank you for the video. I've been doing the FG knot for a long time. But I think I'll like this one better. It seems to make a smaller knot than the FG knot. IMO.. I just hope it can hold up as well as the FG did! Great video! Easy to follow!

[@FTWQ]

Honestly I prefer this knot over the FG Knot any day. This knot is extremely strong, I don't think you will have any problem! Thanks for watching!

[@Tja-oz8bj]

From what everyone says this may or may not fit through baitcast guides and that the fg is stronger?

[@tomzeng5610]

@@Tja-oz8bj yes this knot is much bigger than FG because double mono line, is good knot for thinner mono lines.

[@edwardvanvalkenburg3254]

Thank you friend and I hope you can get bent today. I've gotta retie 4 poles now. Good day.

[@teamcoff]

Nice video man! Thanks for sharing this, heard a good amount about it...I always use the double-uni. Trying this out today!

[@FTWQ]

Thanks man! Yeah, I love the double uni knot also, but I do feel like the Alberto knot is much stronger! Good luck out there!!

[@coltonn31]

Had a fg knot on in a tourney the other day and had a wind knot so had to re tie. Just used this knot so i could get back to fshing. Works great through spinning rod guides you don't really need a FG. Kinda different though if youre running it on a casting rod with semi micro guides. Then you need FG

Sorry, what's "FG?"

I like but hard to do in my urban creek environments, especially without glasses. I will try it next time I use a leader.

[@FTWQ]

I totally hear ya on that. Double Uni Knot might be a good alternative!

[@Dgpo12]

This is a great alternative to the FG for a novice like me. My fg knot looked good and held up for a little while but came loose even after a few practice casts in the backyard. But this Alberto knot seems to be holding up great! Thanks for the video

[@FTWQ]

Honestly, I couldn't agree more! The Alberto knot is actually my much more preferred knot over the FG Knot. Thanks for watching!

[@Dgpo12]

@@FTWQ i was curious, do you find a difference between using mono leader line vs regular old mono line? Or is this just a marketing ploy?

[@FTWQ]

For me, it's the same thing hahaha. I have bought both and really don't see what the difference could be. But maybe I'm wrong! Lol

[@R8terFan]

Was so excited to learn this knot, I thought I executed it perfectly, fished with it most of the day,but tied a crank bait on it and came undone while casting, not sure what I did wrong

[@kaikart123]

It hit the guide for too many times and get weakened over time. This is also happened with any knots that's not FG. I've lost a lure with Modified Albright Knot like this too.

Which would be more low profile for running through your guides, alberto or double uni?

[@FTWQ]

I would say the Double Uni has a slight edge over the Alberto Knot in being low profile. However, I do feel the Alberto Knot has a strength edge over the Double Uni.

I have use this knot all the time and it has never let me down. I do not wrap the line back over, just the one way.

[@FTWQ]

[@richardj6593]

The next big innovation in line will be the elimination of knots between braid and fluorocarbon and use of a bonding agent and/or a small micro sleeve each line end can feed into and be sealed with heat or epoxy to bond the two lines together. People hate tying knots and a good engineer will put an end to the cumbersome knots. I am working on some innovations now to solve this problem.
