rockfisherman Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Albright knot.... But you won't get as many turns as you usually get... Depending on how thick your braid and yourleader are, ie I found the knot dosnt come down snug and neat with alot of turns, from memory I got 5 turns up and 5 down 80lb braid to 100lb leader....

strewth Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ted Donelan's leader knot. Looks like an Albright, but only has one tag end as you must weave the leader under and over through the bimini. I use it on everything from 6 lb to 60 lb and it's very compact and strong. Takes about 30 secs to tie. Google it or look in Geoff Wilon's knot book.
