Experienced fishermen know how to assemble their gear through simple and complex knots. This skill is very important, because only high-quality and fast work will ensure a good catch. The Albright knot is considered to be the best option for connecting two woods. We’ll talk about him now.
Theoretical basis
Many anglers are confident that the Albright knot is the best for tying various ropes, in particular lines with different diameters. In addition, this design is often used by lovers to use a fly cord in bodies of water with standing water.
The Albright knot is best used when there is a need to connect two ropes made of different materials. Including we are talking about braided, fluorocarbon and monophilic fishing lines, which at least a third differ in diameter.
It is the size difference that allows you to form a compact and reliable unit that easily passes through the rings of the tip of the feeder rod.
Advantages and disadvantages of using
The Albright knot is an excellent helper connecting fishing lines of varying diameters and monofilament yarns. It can be used both when connecting the rope with backing, and in any other situations.
The oblong shape of the knot ensures its excellent penetration through the ring, and this facilitates the process of fishing. But nevertheless, whatever the connection, it exceeds the cross-section of the woods by several times, even when using small fittings. The most optimal fishing nodes look on the rings of large diameter.
In any case, the manual connections of the woods during a long fishing process begin to collect dirt and waste around themselves. And this complicates the process of winding the fishing line on the rod, as the garbage together with the node is locked in the region of the upper ring. Using this technology at night, a fisherman can damage his instrument and accidentally break off the tip of the structure. Therefore, it is so important to constantly monitor the state of the rod, as well as to clean it in a timely manner or to form new nodes.
If you carefully monitor the state of fishing tools, the Albright knot will be an excellent option, saving your favorite hobby or business of a lifetime. Remember that the above shortcomings do not apply specifically to this compound, but all used by amateurs and professionals.
Weaving pattern
To learn how to tie the Albright fishing knot, you must clearly follow the instructions.
First you need to cross two ropes of different diameters and make a loop at the intersection.
Then the end of the thinner rope is carefully threaded through the eye, wrapped around itself and the loop ten times. Then the rope pokes through a nearby loop.
The resulting knot is wetted with water and tightened tightly. Then its hanging ends are trimmed. The Albright node, the photo of which you see below, must be done carefully to get the highest quality.
To make the knot smooth and durable, some anglers cover it with superglue or latex glue.
