[@zacharygaston6647]

Why not hollowcore to mono splice??? Just curious, seems that is what everyone does these days

[@savage22bolt32]

Awesome! As I was following your instructions, I paused & replayed a few times. When finished, my knot looked just like yours. FYI - joined 40# / .013" sufix 832 eight fiber braid to 20# / .0185" zebco omniflex mono. The mono is backer, about 20 cranks, to prevent the braid from slipping on the spool. Rod & reel are from a tag sale 30 years ago. Olympic 2065 6-1/2 ft & Daiwa 7350RL. I'm 65 yrs old, so I got my free CT resident fishing license. So now I'm going to walk down the street and cast a worm into the river. Might go buy a couple of lures too, & try them. Thanks very much for teaching me how to join the two lines together❤

[@davem145mxr]

Good demo the heavy test makes it easier for the people who have never done it to see

[@YakinwithJack]

Thanks I appreciate it

[@christophervela5447]

I've tried this knot....GOOD STUFF

[@Imcatchinnotfishin]

Thanks for doing it step by step bro! You made it so much easier by just doing it slow and step by step took me like 6 vids to find a good teach haha

[@YakinwithJack]

Glad. I could help buddy

[@milanh7082]

Thanks brotha! Good luck on the water.

[@YakinwithJack]

Thanks for watching

[@cagonzal13]

Thank you for teaching me something today. I'll try it looks so simple

[@YakinwithJack]

Glad I could let me know how it works 🤙🏽

[@KennyP56]

I've never joined dissimilar lines, but for terminal tackle I use the Palomar 90% of the time. Great tutorial Jack! Thanks for the lesson. Bent rods & tight lines.

[@YakinwithJack]

KennyP's Country Catfishing Palomar is great knot as well my favorite has to be the fg skinny and strong

[@IIrandhandleII]

I think the super glue is to help it slide through the guides.

[@enthusiasticfisherman1229]

I don't know what it is bug your videos are SO GOOD!

[@YakinwithJack]

Appreciate it buddy

[@mikeb9223]

I find the TP knot superior as it forms a cone and flows through the guides better..jmo..the Allbright is good if your in a hurry and leave it outside the tip of the rod.

[@GmAn-vo8cf]

Thanks for the vid. Just tied 200 lb braid to 200 mono and its solid. Cleaner and easier than the fg

[@YakinwithJack]

Thanks buddy I greatly appreciate. I

[@trygvehansen3158]

Thanks man, just lost a 35$ jigg because i didnt bother to tie a leader to the brade. This helps alot!!

[@YakinwithJack]

Awesome I’m glad I could help

[@bricehale6593]

Thanks for the info nicely done

[@hdzhdz8452]

Perfect vid. Helped me out instantly

[@YakinwithJack]

Glad I could help 🔥

[@TheLawlessTide]

Great video! Do you have roller guides on that rod? If so how well does that knot slide through them?

[@YakinwithJack]

The Lawless Tide yes the first and last guides are roller and works fine

[@MrMaxpimp]

I fg but the gt version which is with the rasuto finish

[@gapo62angler93]

Great video from a new subscriber. Question: I have #80 braid on my Avet LX what size mono top shot do you recommend and how long? Mainly fishing for Yellow tail or Blue fin. TIA

[@YakinwithJack]

Honestly i don’t know I would thing 40-50 pound floro

[@markm9232]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@YakinwithJack]

Thank you for watching

[@peteredwards1528]

These knots look great when you are sat in the comfort of your own home, but how easy would they be if you had to re-tie on the bank with the wind and rain howling into your face? That's why I use a triple surgeons knot to attach my braid to fluorocarbon. It's super simple and hasn't let me down yet

[@YakinwithJack]

Agreed that’s why I practice so I can tie any rough conditions

[@christophervela5447]

Great video

[@YakinwithJack]

Thanks buddy

[@fahe7091]

Very nice!

[@YakinwithJack]

Thanks for watching

[@johncarrier1006]

Have you tried this knot while fishing for 500IB Marlin? I fish for mostly marlin and run straight braid. But was looking into adding a top shot for added drag through the water. If you have a better trolling knot I would like to see it. my braid technique works but I can always be better.

[@YakinwithJack]

I’ve never Marlin fished so I can’t give a a answer buddy sorry

[@jayvanhouwe2132]

Great vid! So this works on lighter line?

[@YakinwithJack]

jay vanhouwe yes it sure does

[@AU.PG08]

Would this knot be able to withstand a thresher shark on 80lb braid as my main and 80lb mono as my top shot

[@YakinwithJack]

I’m not sure I use 200 pound braid and mono. You won’t know till you try

[@changodelaporcelainacanada4819]

Cool thx bro

[@miamae7867]

Uni knot the mono end to lock it off?

[@kvartekmedia]

Gotta try this brother 🙏🏽

[@KDservicesgardencarent]

Hi. Need to your suggestion. Ive got slammer 3 10500 spinning reel and has 100 lbs braid. I just want to know what mono rating i should put for top shot. Thanks

[@YakinwithJack]

If you are going for sharks I would fill it up all the way with braid and just use a mono and wire leader

[@SlotCityFishing]

Uni to uni!

[@YakinwithJack]

SlotCityFishing that’s a great knot one of my favorites

[@xFREAK6]

Not sure if it’s just me. But it made my braid super weak at the connection point with this tie. I was able to snap my 50 pound braid with about 10 pounds of force at the connect every time.

[@YakinwithJack]

I wish I could see you tying this knot. Because I never had that knot fail on me if it was tired correctly

[@xFREAK6]

Yakin with Jack I’m not sure if I was doing something wrong. I did do it step by step like your video. I am using 50 pound which is much smaller not sure if that has anything to do with it.

[@YakinwithJack]

It’s hard for me to tell with out seeing it. If you can send me a private message through Instagram for Facebook I could help more

[@xFREAK6]

Yakin with Jack I ended up just going with a uni knot for now. I appreciate you taking the time to reply🤙

[@fishyfish6768]

Albright or Alberto?

How to connect 80 lbs mono main line to 120 lbs mono leader

[@chrisvmartinez]

Surgeon's knot 👍, I use it for my mono to flouro connections

[@tokay999]

How many yards of 200lb braid do you have on your 14/0?

[@YakinwithJack]

Prolly 1000-1500 I can’t honestly remember

[@tonysou803]

The Albright knot is the same is Alberto knot? Idk if it is. Lol

[@caryverhalen]

This is the Alberto Knot, the Albright knot is different indeed and is weakest. There is a good strength test for both knots on KZbin and the Alberto Knot was Superior

[@tokay999]

yo any action lately on the 14/0 ? take it out fishing

[@YakinwithJack]

tokay999 not yet I’m waiting for those duskys to start running hopefully mid December

[@tokay999]

where did you buy the spool of mono?

[@YakinwithJack]

I got it from my buddy not sure where he got it

[@Thecoachco]

what kind of braid are you using

[@YakinwithJack]

In this video is was 200 pound power pro

[@wesleybryant7334]

Im looking into getting a penn senator conventional like 5 or 6 what type of rod would i need to put it on?

[@YakinwithJack]

Try to match the rod with the pound you are putting on it. Also it depends on what you are targeting

[@wesleybryant7334]

Yakin with Jack im going for sharks like 4-6ft and other big fame fish im here on the gulf Coast as well in Mobile,AL just wanted to add a different setup to my arsenal lol

[@YakinwithJack]

Do you plan on kayaking baits out ?

[@wesleybryant7334]

Yakin with Jack once I get a Kayak i do and trolling too, but right now I’ll just be surf fishing and I’m searching around for used kayaks right now just ran across a wilderness systems 140 for $450 seems like a good price what do you think?

[@YakinwithJack]

Wes Bryant as long as it’s no damage sound do to me

[@gunnycat8393]

How much braid is on it? and how much mono?

[@YakinwithJack]

I believe a little over 1000 yards and 200 or so of mono

[@gunnycat8393]

@@YakinwithJack thanks

[@gunnycat8393]

@@YakinwithJack 200lb braid to 130lb mono Alberto knot or Fg knot

[@brentbillig5864]

Never understood why guys use lesser lb pound line for there top shot. Why have 200 lb braid when your mono is going to break first. Line is only as strong as your weakest link. I always spool lighter braid as backing then use the same or larger lb mono for the top shot.

[@coreyclark7398]

Heres why id o it (keep in mind im not running 200 lb anything ) I have about 425 yards of 50 lb braid mainline on my spool then about 15 yards of a mono top shot. My mono top shot changes depending on the fish and location. Fighting rockfish? I raise the #test not cause the fish is heavy but because of the enviorment. the heavier line holds up in the rocks better, and im not breaking the bak respooling with braid all the time. I can tie the alberto knot very quickly so its nothing too add a diffrent topshot too my line. When I surf fish i drop it down too a 25 lb

[@cameronbradford5714]

You don’t want to do that

[@HankWright777]

Isn’t the FG way better? So much smaller and still near 100% knot strength.

[@makersmark88]

What is the benefit of having 800 yards of mono on top of the braid? I get having a long leader but what’s the advantage of the top shot?

[@YakinwithJack]

The_Mussos you get a lot more stretch with the mono. Also it is more abrasive resistance especially with the sand bar while land based shark fishing

[@outaboutwithmarkjustine3183]

Now try doing it with 6lb braid and 6lb leader lol!!!!

[@YakinwithJack]

Challenge accepted 😂

[@fishyfish6768]

Great except the music.

[@paulernandez5382]

if you would have gone up 7 turns and come back the same 7 turns you would have a much stronger knot, called the Alberto knot (and no super glue needed!!) that so called improved albright don't work! I know for a fact, I taught that knot at seminars with Crazy Alberto

[@YakinwithJack]

thanks ill try that next time

[@GulfSoftwash]

Will it still go through the rod guides with the back 7 wraps on top of the front 7?

[@slyarsenal]

This is not the best and not suitable for game fishing. A good connection from braid to mono topshot requires 2 double-looped knots and a loop-to-loop connection. I use a bimini twist for the braid to create my first doubled line/loop. On the mono I use an Australian plait to form my second doubled line/loop. This offers closest to 100% line strength.

[@kiritimatiswan1986]

good to know there are nerds who fish

[@quentincotton9342]

I use it all the time without fail...the only time it broke was when a barracuda swiped and clean cut my braid...

[@jmsalazar654]

Thats the crazy Alberto knot. Not the albright knot.

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

That’s not top shot top shot is a short piece of mono on top of a full reel of braid what you did don’t even put braid

[@YakinwithJack]

Ok buddy

[@justinseiffert9190]

This not a true Albright knot. It's more like the Alberto.

[@YakinwithJack]

Sorry buddy it’s called the improved Albright I’ll fix the title

[@justinseiffert9190]

No worries bro. I use the standard Albright for my braid/fluoro inshore stuff.

[@johnbergeron3486]

The Alberto Knot The FG knot The GT knot the Double Uni knot they all say they are the strongest knots clearly somebody is lying can you prove the Alberto is the strongest knot or is this all hearsay

[@YakinwithJack]

John Bergeron I believe it all comes down to personal preference

[@johnbergeron3486]

Yakin with Jack that's not what you said you said it was the best knot trust no man

[@YakinwithJack]

Well it’s my personal preference

[@davidrasmussen2975]

That knot is too big in diameter and too stiff.

[@YakinwithJack]

This is a old video I use hollow core now

[@kristianmarin1268]

Can you use this knot with hollow core? Want to connect 100lb braid to 80 lb mono
