Me being old 72 and with some finger dexterity issues from being a veteran, I’m slow and fumble at simple knots I used to tie in my sleep. This knot, now that I have made the turn to braided line will go a lot smother to tie. Thank you.

[@johnhahn8130]

I’ve use the night before, but never switched hands on the back wind, and that seems to make it very so much simpler

[@megastick9324]

I was watching so intently I spit on my screen for lube when he was pulling the knot tight…

[@arlineklingler6613]

😊 to o

[@jeffreyadelman3846]

thank you for your service Jerry! much love and you are really appreciated! you are still a legend

[@AnthonyLong-hl5pk]

Tried 3 other tutorials before finding yours and completed your knot in 25 seconds. Thank you

[@wildtrophyhunts300]

I have watched four different videos and couldn't get the Knotts going. The tutorials were terrible. You, on the other hand, had the right view and the right way to do it. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@BayAreaFisherman]

Ive been looking for a simple video to connect two lines. Very helpful and easy to do. Got the hang of it after the first few tries👍🏻

[@dylanreo8519]

Finally an easy to follow demonstration. Love your work man

[@javycalle9315]

Super easy knot. Thanks for the tutorial. I’ll def try this one this weekend.

[@rainerstaudt3036]

Thanks so much for the demonstration,this is by far the easiest and fastest knot for a connection,nicely demonstratet,absolutely perfect,good on you

[@Ambassador68]

Two years later your video is still helping us.

[@phillyman5000]

Thanks dude, best tutorial I've seen yet!! I watched 3 other tutorials online and yours is the only one that makes any sense. The rest of the tutorials are too fast and not taken step by step slowly. Thanks!!! Happy Fishing!

[@deanmarten]

This is so much easier than a double uni knot. I'm a fan. Thank you

[@outwestmetaldetecting6186]

I watched a bunch of videos on how to tie a knot for braid to fluro. Your knot wins hands down. Thanks for the video.

[@mpick9404]

Perfect👌🏼 Even with my awful eyesight & very little fishing experience I managed that knot thanks to your clear simple instructions. Nice. Thank you 👍🏻

[@paradisetackle]

Wet the connections before sinching down. Makes it easier and won't cause burn. Excellent video!

[@knowsbeans]

curious on this knot if wetting it actually makes it easier to slip since the knot is really just the braid friction against the fluoro/mono

[@Unit_With_Legs]

I've heard both actually. I heard wetting it is bad too. Looks like we need to do some testing.

[@paradisetackle]

@@Unit_With_Legs i feel i get a tighter knot when wetting. Been doing it for 30 years on every knot that cinches down.

[@tompfender8732]

Just tied my first braid to mono using your help. Turned out great, my fingers fumbled for a bit until I got the hang of it. I expected my first attempt to be a disaster and have to start over, but it was as easy as you said. Thanks!

[@larrycarr6545]

Me to. That darn 15# braid is a bear.

[@user-tk8tm5qi4i]

Dude. Absolutely amazing you don't know how hard I been struggling to tie on a leader. It cost me my first musky a while back but. I think this knot should hold. Thank you

[@xavierlobley7602]

ive been wanting to tie these too together for so long and it has takin me years! thank you!! xx

[@robertszabo-thegipsycroone8946]

Brilliant ! I’m using this as part of my spinner rig alteration in carp fishing! It super strong the knot is perfect in size and length to even camouflage it with a sleeve !

[@drillerjoe5978]

Just tied my first one ever in 42yrs, love it, thank you.

[@coopersullenberger2976]

Honestly so sick because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched knot videos and I am just so lost, you did such a great job, Camera work was exquisite, appreciate it man, really hit home, killin it like always

[@justin_menendez]

thanks for watching!

[@303bayard8]

What is the rizzuto finish. @cooper, great tip.

[@jasoneric5969]

I always worry about the knots bumping the guides also

[@redcap600]

Lol same started making my own knots until I lost à lure lmao

[@aceofthemaces]

Thanks for the tutorial. Really showed me just how easy this knot is!

[@Joestacemazjojo]

Pretty new to all of this. This video was the easiest to help me. Months in and trying to learn others but continue to end up back here tying this knot again. Thanks

[@alexanderiturraldeleon1731]

I have been looking for a video that could actually explain and be able to see the knot for over an hour thank you so much!!!

[@ajrpafishing9426]

Thank you so much! This is the best tutorial out there I tried like five different ones until and found this one and I finally got it. Thanks man you’ve earned a sub! 🤙🏽

[@curtmarcott2464]

Very simple knot. Exactly what I needed.

[@LawyerTodd]

finally! great job, man. I watched so many videos on this topic and this is the first knot that worked, so, thanks! Very nice job. Great explanation, well shot, common sense, that others could not do nearly as well.

[@matthewaiello8302]

Great video. I started using this knot and it’s my new favourite. Super easy. Thanks

[@snackyxchan]

Every other knot I've tried on YT pulled out, this one is easy enough to remember and strong thanks

[@Rickpowers1800]

Really enjoyed and appreciated this tutorial. Great job JM!

[@ivanoomazic1684]

great knot! i'm suprised it also worked with a super thin braid, thank you so much man, subscribed!

[@jeremydundon7487]

Been using the Alberto knot for a long time as well. It’s really quick and easy.

[@nusdogg]

Bro, this is one of the easiest and best explanatory video out there. Super easy to follow! Thankyou for this.

[@TheKYMB01]

Brilliant knot, was looking for something I could tie on the boat when it was rocking and without a magnifying glass and this is it. Thanks

[@1967John_P]

Thank you for posting this video. You made it really simple and I so appreciate it. I was doing something wrong at first but then I watched it again and I corrected it and every time now the knot 🪢 is flat and straight. 😃

[@michaelpmiller7941]

Much appreciated. I'm always looking for easy knots.

[@jeffdismuke2998]

Best demonstration of tying the Alberto I've found.

[@edgit69]

This has always been my go to knot for flouracarbon to braid. Well done 👍

[@1965JB]

Very good tutorial! I learned a few things I didn’t know that will make it easier to tie this knot quickly.

[@uniteslash883]

Super simple and got the knot on the first try. I have been using different knots for years but this one is just super easy to do. Thanks!

[@gordondarker4073]

Using this knot since braid first came in it has never let me down

[@tizmo57]

Thanks Justin! This knot along with your instruction is finally doing the trick for me!

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Just used this knot to make up my hybrid lead core rig on my reel! Works GR8! Thank you!!!

[@aaronkent3817]

this video is great. I was actually able to tie the knot based on your instructions. I could not keep up with the other videos. thanks!

[@FishiganMilligan]

Nice! Good video and sweet change of pace, I recently changed to this knot because my uni to uni was failing me when it came to the thinner Varivas Braid I was using.

[@PMtz-co6wo]

Thanks for the easy tutoriaI on this Alberto knot.. I learned to finally tie braid to flouro/mono leader.

[@3732will]

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Good job!

[@stoneboulanger270]

Awesome and simple knot. Thank you, it was very much appreciated.

[@monkparkins]

Thanks fam I watch a bunch of videos and half way get lost you made this super easy and finally can see actually what you doing thanks thanks

[@vicbermudez91]

I watched like 5 videos to try to learn this and kept failing until I watched yours and it finally clicked. Thanks!!

[@einkaliber9939]

Thanks for your content. This was the very best walk thru.

[@phillyman5000]

Each time I do this I get better and better at it!! Thanks dude!

[@mclark2330]

First time using this knot. Great video thank you!!! 💪🏼👍🏼

[@user-bf2xh8ql7v]

Literally best tutorial, I nailed it on the first shot. Thanks!

[@kristapsmuravjovs7061]

Oh man, I'm picking up fishing again after years of not doing it, and I was getting so frustrated with my inability to tie a leader, including trying to follow an image, also even a video tutorial of an another knot (which, to my immense delight, just goshdarn slipped right through, haha). Almost gave up on my spontanious idea of trying for some bass this morning, and you saved my ass man, thanks so much - sure, it's not the most elegant knot, but for a noob like me this made the whole difference between going or not. Much appreciated, much love, subbed.

[@neilbeyers9786]

First time to join two lines, real easy to follow. Thank you

[@AndynTiffanyfishing]

I tied it first try. Went well. THANKS TO YOU. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@MikieJoe6555]

I subscribed. This is the best, step by step tutorial I have ever seen. Hell yeah

[@knifeman426]

Bro, thank you so much, man hours trying different knits, and you solved my prob in 5 min

[@johnchuck9573]

Thanks for the great explanation of this knot.

[@stephenlayne8689]

Awesome 👌 thanks so much other videos were bad and didn't work .now I'm a pro lol thanks again

[@robertladosky7157]

I watched a few videos and failed until I came across yours and tied it the first time. Thanks brotha.

[@jimmboski]

This is gna work awesome for ice fishing with tip ups. I've always used barrel swivels. ,not no more! Thank you

[@VuZeEqquation]

This knot was so simple, I work at a sports store and we sometimes have to spool reels for people. I always had issues connecting the mono backing to braid, this has been a big help. Awesome vid

[@joedennehy386]

No one at the tackle store showed you? That's terrible

[@micci7888]

@@joedennehy386 what’s more terrible is someone actually had him spool up mono backer to braid and not vice versa ??🤣🤌🏼

[@CHOPERUS23]

That's the reason I always deny the tackle shop of their services when buying a new reel.

[@monstrousnards]

@@micci7888 braid with a mono backer allows baitcaster anglers to cast further and experience backlash less often.

[@ryantombs7895]

@@micci7888 thats normal bud

[@shawnjbray]

This vid helped me a lot. I was looking for the easiest way to tie a leader to a braid line for fly fishing. Thank you

[@topwatertrl]

I learned this as the Modified Albright. Tomato Tomatoe I guess. A tiny drop of super glue insures no slippage and helps the knot slide through the guides. This is my go to knot for fishing ultralight 4# Nanofil superline and 5X tippet for 1/8th oz jigs for Brown trout. Great instruction!!

[@zionkid420]

The inventor is a VERY well known and respected fisherman and charter captain by the name of Alberto Knie. HEnce it being known where it was created and popularized as the alberto or crazy alberto (his nickname) knot. Yes it is the same as whats known as a modified albright in other parts of the country. Mainly outiside the east coast.

[@erikvaaler31]

He didn't invent anything. It is an Albright knot.@@zionkid420

[@WayneOldham210]

Justin, i agree with everybody else you made thos absolutely simple. Thank you for making this video.

[@bigredbass7898]

Could have been a 30 second video but you made it look easy thanks.

[@joelp8764]

Great fast and easy knot. But I do love my dual uni knots 🪢

[@kateskrmetta2022]

Same

[@jesusisalive3227]

That's what I use also. Never let me down.

[@fishinfinaddictyttv3122]

I tie double uni but it doesn't go through the guides well at all especially with heavier leaders and micro guides. I'm learning an fg now just getting comfortable with it and gaining confidence

[@joedennehy386]

Back to back uni is just as strong but us a bitch to cast, you can lose your rod tip. It just doesn't run easily through the guides

[@tedthilly1934]

Me too never had one fail

[@fmcatfishchamp]

Thank you Justin. I have been trying to tie the FG knot for this purpose and have had mixed results, assuredly due to me making mistakes. This is so much easier. I have watched many of your videos and am subscribed, and greatly appreciate the tips you share. Thanks again.

[@geo1698]

What kind of fg knot did you try to learn?

[@joedennehy386]

This is a 70% knot. The fg knot is a 70% knot. Sometimes it's 90% sometimes just 50%. For heavier braid the pr knot is the best

[@terrykosdrosky8130]

Got this on the second try! Thanks for this. Could not tie a blood knot to save my life. Shooting this from the actual angle of how I’m tying it really helps. So many videos shoot from the opposite perspective which is extremely confusing with more complex knots.

[@chuckpugh5997]

Dude thanks q ton I've tried a bunch of these over years and never felt good about them or stuck with them but this knot I can do so thank you. Great job at demonstrating this too. Sweet my new liter knot

[@mazinyonan3621]

That was very informative, thanks a lot

[@flewy4938]

What a hero thanks so much for this video ! Saved me a lot of stress 😂 thanks 😎

[@fishingmaster168]

Thank you for telling me how to tie the rope, I am very satisfied ❤️️

[@pondparadisedesignsinc.rob5313]

Great video you explained it well, hard to do the first time, but I see this getting easier doing it more often

[@CrucesNomad1]

works, this is now my favorite leader knot.

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Man! That's the best/easiest tutorial for that knot I've ever seen. New Sub from Indiana, I'm gonna use it!

Great helped me so much thanks for the step by step! Tight lines

[@Skorpionsolja]

Easy to do and great instructions. Thanks!!

[@davfinport]

Perfect video, all these other ones calling it "crazy" and "lazy" are just overthinking it. Only thing I do different is wet the flouro mainly so it doesn't burn. Great video

[@MarkBagley]

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

[@deanmacka4975]

Mate I'm gonna use that knot this weekend. Thanks mate top stuff 👍

[@RogerFordTheSmilingBassHole]

Excellent explanation! I like my knots easy!!! Thanks!

[@victorrositas6046]

The most simplistic way of making this knot tie in which normally it takes safisticated moves to tie this knot by other fisherman. Yet, you explain it so step by step in a matter that anybody with no practical skills can do this. Thank you...

[@floridasstokedfishing325]

Thank you so much for that video my guy very helpful. Now I will never use swivels 🤙🏽🔥🎣

same, I switched to this because the double uni was too big for eye guides
