rockfisherman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi raiders Personally I found the Albright knot to be strong and slim, but wanted to know what other knots raiders prefer Harry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Why would you tie mono to mono with any sort of knot because the weakest part will be the knot Spooled the alvey with hi vis because it's getting extremely difficult for me to see my line in overcast or low light conditions (whilst fishing for pigs) . So I ran the main line down to a small ring with with about a metre of leader and found that I wasn't getting so much action, so I wanted to run 2m+ of leader joined with a knot... Yes? No?

thefisherman6784 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I love the double uni, I can do it with my eyes closed I'm also getting into the albright Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Stalker Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Why would you tie mono to mono with any sort of knot because the weakest part will be the knot Another reason I would do it Stewy is in case I got snagged... As you say the knot is the weakest point so the knot would snap instead of snapping up near my spool losing however much line I happen to have out at the time.

Nolongeramember Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Hi raiders Personally I found the Albright knot to be strong and slim, but wanted to know what other knots raiders prefer Harry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I like the full blood knot for mono to mono. 3 turns each side only! I use the knot when I fish for baits unweighted. I tie a 4lb leader onto the mono main line which is larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolongeramember Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Double four fold blood knot.......quick and easy to tie and very strong I think we are explaining the same knot only 4 turns works for you and I like 3 each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paikea Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think we are explaining the same knot only 4 turns works for you and I like 3 each side. Sounds like it. I find that tying a loop knot to connect lures causes me all sorts of grief, don't know why but I have real problems in holding the knot whilst I feed the tag end over and under. The illustrated books on tying knots make it look so easy. And no, I do not have problems with any other knots including snooding spade type hooks which are difficult for a lot of fishos. Got me beat! Cheers Paikea Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkel53 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The double blood knot and the double uni knot are different. Both easy to tie and I haven't had any issues with either of them when joining mono to mono - usually a heavier or lighter trace than the main line. Have a look at these links to see the difference.

luderick -angler Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Simplest and easiest and very strong used by fly fishers the world over for making your own tapered leader is the surgeons knot (double overhand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-On Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Back to back uni; easiest knot for me, find it useful that I can tie it in pitch black and in windy conditions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
