How to Tie Braided Line to Flurocarbon OR Monofilament: Crazy Alberto Knot

[@НатальяМельник-б7ч]

*Great product. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I have never used a baitcaster before and did a lot of research before buying this one. I bought it with the Torrent casting rod as well and it works very nice.*

[@chipnorris2504]

Well, I really appreciate is that you didn’t use 100 pound test to do this demo like everybody else does and makes it look so easy. It is much harder to tie this knot, which I tie very often with 15 pound braid and 8 pound fluorocarbon.

[@robertfrancola8887]

Very detailed. Great explanation. The mistake I was making. That last pass thru of the tag end at the loop. I was not going between the braid and the floro. Thank you Hunter. You've helped this old coach into the 21st century. Caught my first 12" bass on a yellow crank at 10yrs old. That was 1958. Been catching them since. Thanks again.

[@davidromanko8797]

I can't thank you enough for this video!!! That zoom in part of where you put the braid in was all the difference in your video compared to all the other ones. Finally I know how to tie this knot. THANK YOU!!!

[@bobbarnhill8557]

Super nice video! Alberto knot and improved Albright are the same knot. I’ve used that connection to catch Tuna over 100lbs. It will definitely stand up to bass fishing. I’ve been using the Improved Albright for over 20 yrs.

[@russdennis7026]

This is the only leader knot I can tie and it won't slip on me. I have to be the worst knot tyer in the world when it comes to connection knots and this knot is quick and easy and it's strong. Great video. New sub here.

[@thatonerandomginger]

Larry legend has changed my family's life. His granny knot is a life saver!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Hahahah! Too funny- Larry will be back!

[@johnnymarrero3913]

Always come back to this video incase its been awhile. Amazing knot, haven't lost a fish yet!

[@elibo0n]

I have never experienced wind knots until I started using braid!

[@texasboy11100]

Put new line on and make sure it goes on the spool clockwise

[@p111562]

Hunter, thank you for the tutorial on this knot. This is the best knot I've used to connect braid to fluro. Keep up the awesome work, always looking forward to your videos man! Great work once again!!

[@3wholepunchjim]

I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this knot!

[@apparaoapparao]

Interesting variation on the crazy Alberto--I like it. Going through that last small hole before going through the main loop at the very end basically adds a one turn clinch/cinch at the end of crazy Alberto to double lock it with the square knot/finger trap knot at the very end

[@billybass4189]

I've always used and trusted a double uni knot for this but that alberto looks similar and simple enough to try.

[@russdennis7026]

Man for the life of me I can't get the double uni knot to hold with braid to fluorocarbon to save my life.

[@billybass4189]

@@russdennis7026 then if u still don't want to use the fg use a double grinner, twice thru the loop of mono/flouro then ten turns and make another loop and make ten turns within that 2nd loop. Pull to tension and slide up then tease back to fully tighten. This is the knot i used when i first started using braided hooklinks for carp fishing and came a cropper a cpl times, it never slipped after that.

[@Baddmnkey1]

Great braid to flouro/mono leader knot. Strong and easy to tie out on the water.

[@jasondill5372]

Watched this video ton of times. Why do you prefer that knot over the Sebile knot or FG knot?

[@rl56111]

It's slim and goes thru guides well

[@sbcbaits994]

Because the fg knot is a pain in the dick to tie and doesn’t get you any real added advantage.

[@jacobwynn9555]

This is the best video i've seen for tying braid to flurocarbon, Thanks for the tip!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks Jacob, hope it helps!

[@Shiloh3498]

Best knot video I've ever seen! Close up shot was awesome...

[@jkelbe]

Video skills are amazing. Makes it so much easier to learn.

[@deano8628]

Before snipping of the tags at the end do a couple of half uni knots to lock them in... It's a good fail safe and holds into place.

[@1Mannco]

That's what I was thinking.

[@erictorres4589]

Just ran into your channel & I’m subscribing now,,, just wanted to say that This one of best and easier video on how to make this knot 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@mmntramonti]

Hunter what’s your thoughts on super gluing knot?

[@HeadFirstFishing]

I have to disagree, I never had a wind knot until I used braid. Nylon Mono is more susceptible to stored energy with line twist because of its elastic nature, which can cause a tangle. What do you think? Nice looking channel and videos though.

[@Philip-w2q]

Have you tried a red Phillips knot

[@wendybrown2701]

I love your treble hooks! I upgrade my hooks on my crank bait with 2 different sizes. And they are affordable, and lay into the fish great. Also I use as stinger hooks. Thank you. WB

[@good4ufarming713]

Thnx Hunter, this braid to mono is fast, multifunctional, n strong as F,, keep up the good work, shoots from the ( 808 )

[@travislgerhart]

Awesome knot,you taught it very well and made it easy to tie,thanks again

[@HunterShryockFishing]

+Travis Gerhart Great! Glad it worked for you! Thanks man!

[@jacobgrosschmidt1471]

Thanks for the great video Hunter, Ill give this a try. I've been using a blood knot the past couple years and it still takes me too long change out my leader.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

No problem dude! I know what ya mean, they are all tedious but I got this down pretty fast anymore! Thanks for the comment!

[@slimetime4668]

Dang man thank you I nailed this my first time watching the video through and could not make it fail no matter how hard I tested it

[@RealisticFishing]

I have been looking for something like this. Great looking knot!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Hope it works for ya, Thanks!

[@NotJustBBQLLC]

Would you use this for mono to mono say 20lb to 10lb or is there a better option

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Hi there, Can I use the Mono/ fluorocarbon line to wrap around the braided line instead of the braided line wrapping the fluorocarbon line? Thanks.

[@trbaker1502]

What test would you use for daily fishing with working low to no cover, and avg fish is 3-4 lbs. Mainly fishing soft plastic and lipless crankbaits?

[@litraskitas1998]

I love double uni knot and it works for me the best at this time, because in front of this knot goes "braid part" and its smaller, so its more "friendly" to guides.. At Alberto (Albright) knot in front goes FC "lefts" and it really feels when it comes through the guides in my opinion. And I have to mention that all knots must be tie again every time You fish..

[@JayDavis81]

Great video and great instruction but ohmygod, where did the rest of your thumbnails disappear to?!

[@spartagirlful]

will this work with any size combinations?

[@redred3144]

I've been doing it wrong I thought you had Put it through the big loop I'm glad I never lost any fish

[@JaredTuck]

Same here!

[@jpvand1]

....not wrong, it’s just an Alberto. I do the same.

[@joecos64]

I've been using this not for a while. I was just wondering what makes it crazy?

[@lancerudy9934]

Great video thanks 😊

[@matthewl1187]

Does this knot run through the rod guides ok?

[@reerok]

Hey Hunter, these tech tips videos are much appreciated and well done. I've been using the FG knot but this looks easier and it seems you have plenty of confidence in it. Thanks for the tips. You guys ever get out to Clendening? Love the lake but it's been a rough year for finding bass.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

+reerok Thanks man! Hope it works out for you. I haven't been to clendening in years, can be a fun lake though.

[@Hardrakk187]

Do you use the Braid with Fluoro leader and the Crazy Alberto knot on a casting setup as well or do you only use this for a spinning setup? Just wondering if it performs well coming of a bait casting reel. Thanks for the videos, it's nice to see a couple fellow Ohio boys make it to the big leagues and still be so down to earth.

[@chadleydale08]

When your putting braid on your reel do you put some monofilament on the spool first and then braid or do you tie braid straight on the spool?because heard that you shouldn't because the braid will dig in to the spool.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

I've done it both ways but I prefer to use a little bit of mono first to cover the the slick surface of the spool. This way your braid wont slip on the actual spool.

[@TBassFactory]

Good video. Thank you good tips. What editing software is this video done on, your very good at editing.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks! I use fcpx

[@Eric2Judd]

Very informative video! Is it me, or your voice only comes from the left channel?

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Yes, I apologize. I had my audio mixed up and recorded only on the left speaker side. If you watch it on a computer, phone or tablet you won't notice it then lol

[@Eric2Judd]

Haha it's not a big deal. I enjoyed the video thoroughly. The close-up shots of the knot are insane!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thanks man, hopefully being able to see it will help everyone know if the knot it tied correctly. Thanks for watching!!

[@fishman80]

can i use this knot for mono to mono or mono to fluro? lighter mono to heavier mono for example

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Yes you can! Its harder to do but still works.

[@markthomasstopani8516]

How does this knot compare to the FG knot? I fish in Salt water is it still effective?

[@adrianwalker9416]

Mark in my opinion both knots are good. Like hunter said, if you're not using micro guides on your fishing pole/rod, this knot will be fine. The FG can be tricky to tie but once perfected it is a much better knot for casting. Salt or fresh water won't effect the knots in the short term, but like most things salt water will slowly deteriorate your knots so I change them out every 3rd or 4th trip if your leader length lasts that long. Good luck, tight lines.

[@Roboworm99]

Best video of the knot.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Thank You!

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

thats just a "new twist" (adding in components of a FG knot into what was called a Albright Special, I do believe.

[@BassandFurious]

Thank you so much! This knot is fantastic!

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Awesome! Glad it works for you!!! Thanks for watching!

[@djb0918]

I've been using this not for years, but I thought it was called the "advanced Alberto knot?" That's why I search the video because I wanted to see if it was in a different. Either way it has never snapped on me...like never! Sometimes it can be a pain with the guides depending on line size, but it is the simplest and strongest leader knot my opinion.

[@hankkeathley3453]

I love this knot, but I have to watch the video every time I use it

[@BigRigOutdoors]

Have you tried the FG Knot it comes through the guides a little better.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Never used it but have heard of it. Again, this is just the knot that I have confidence in. I've never had issues with the guides before but I also do not use the micro guides which the normal sized guides will help tremendously when using a braid to fluro setup. Thanks for the comment!

[@litraskitas1998]

Just a little better, but to make this knot takes much more time and needs more skills..just not worth it to play with that..

[@Roboworm99]

Have you heard of or tried the FG knot? Curious what your take is on it.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

I have but I've been using this knot for years now and I understand it. Just a confidence thing I guess and I know it works under all kinds of circumstances.

[@Roboworm99]

+Hunter Shryock Fishing/ 496Films understandable no problem with failure over the course of an eating using it all day?

[@HunterShryockFishing]

No problem with failure when tied correctly- if I'm practicing I'll run out of retying my fluro to the bait before I have to retie a new leader on. Gone days with it where I dont retie it and boat flip many fish on it.

[@Roboworm99]

+Hunter Shryock Fishing/ 496Films awesome. I'm gonna give it a go this year or next 😎

[@rakoshegy]

DROPSHOT

[@brandondevries7152]

does this work on a flipping setup with heavier braid?

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Absolutely! Try to keep the diameter of the two lines about the same size (this helps the knot be tied correctly). So using 30lbs braid w/ 15lbs fluro or 40-50lbs braid w/ 20lbs fluro (just examples- find what works best with the lines you use). Hope this helps!

[@zorch16]

What pound braid do you throw Texas rigs with?

[@HunterShryockFishing]

The size of the braid is dependent on the size Flurocarbon I want to use. So if I'm using 20lbs Flurocarbon, Ill use 40lbs Spiderwire Stealth braid. If Im using 15lbs Flurocarbon, I'll go down to 30lbs Spiderwire Stealth SMOOTH braid. Matching the diameters of the line to be somewhat the same size ensures a strong knot.

[@zorch16]

+Hunter Shryock Fishing/ 496Films Awesome! You answered my question perfect! Thank you!

[@okidoke4822]

Knot tying starts at 2:48 and if you're wearing headphones, prepare for the beat drop at 5:27 lol, made me jump.

[@henryharada8339]

isn't it the good old Albright knot?

[@fishandlearn]

No, the Albright is a different weaker knot but this knot also sometimes called 'improved Albright' is a variant of the Albright that has stronger breaking strength and will not slip.

[@chadleydale08]

Oh ok thanks for your help.

[@manifestgtr]

Wow, weird...I got a good knot on the first try....that NEVER happens I think I’m gonna stick to my double uni for now since this one is a bit more fiddly...but it’s nice to have the option.

[@TheGrkBoy]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

[@terrylance50]

I'll look

[@steveg8322]

An Albright knot, by any stretch of the imagination.

[@FishNFoolLures]

This is based on the Albright, but it is NOT the same KNOT. The Alberto is almost twice as strong.

[@SandbaggerJoe]

20lb Trilene Big Game mono works better than fluro and doesn't cost near as much

[@aldraw]

That's cool and all but it's not the FG knot

[@HunterShryockFishing]

It beats tying the fg in the middle of a tournament any day. 👍🏼

[@12GoodalL12]

I think i broke my speakers on your intro music

[@HunterShryockFishing]

I’m going to pass that along to the editors. Thanks!

[@leigh161269]

this is the first time ive seen this knot being called the alberto knot, in the uk its known as the albright knot. good knot but not as good as the FG knot.

[@robertbrandywine]

So what do you call what we call the Albright knot?

[@fabiomarenco]

the son of allbright and tonypeña

[@reelsickfishing2227]

Larry says all I need to know is the granny knot....

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Hahaha exactly

[@tedhaas8440]

This is just called an "Alberto knot", not a "Crazy Alberto knot."

[@FishNFoolLures]

I disagree, it was known as the Crazy Alberto first, but many people have dropped the crazy off it. This is named for the guy that made it famous Crazy Alberto Knie a Stripped bass fisherman.

[@atbabacan]

This knot doubles the fg, it increases the thickness and thu cut part of the fc leader is looking forward, it will cause loosing speed during shot when the CAK is running through the rings of rod. FG Knot is much better tha this knot, it is not doubling the FC leader and there is no knot on the FC leader.

[@HunterShryockFishing]

Gotcha, checked it on my TV and its fine, just like computer or phone. But I do know that I've had issues with audio when watching on TV primarily because when I make KZbin videos I don't go through all the steps to make the audio "broadcast safe" so it will actually cut out parts of audio if it peaks too loud.
