It is used when attaching a supple braid to a stiff fluorocarbon in a Combi. I have caught literally thousands of fish using this method to spool my bigger reels. The Albright Knot is a simple and easy knot to tie once you have got the hang of it. However, if done correctly and using the appropriate knots as outlined in the video below, you should have no trouble at all. The disadvantage is that if you do not spool the lines tight, the braid can cut through the layers below it and you could lose that once in a lifetime fish. For the most part, especially when bottom bashing with larger reels, the likelihood of reaching the bottom half of your reel even when fighting a big fish is slim, so all that expensive braid effectively goes to waste. Braid mainly comes in 150-300 m spools and in comparison to mono can be quite expensive. The FG knot is the premier connection between your braided line and monofilament nylon or fluorocarbon leader, but is difficult to tie. The main advantage of using a mono backing is cost. Step 1: Laying the monofilament line and braided line in position First, lay the monofilament line on a flat surface and place the braided line at its bottom. Some people find this improved version of the Albright knot easier and it is also stronger. It works with different diameters of the 2 lines. Use monofilament backing when spooling your fishing reel. Improved Albright Knot It joins the mainline to the leader and can be used for mono to mono, (mostly) braid to mono and braid to fluorocarbon connections. The easiest way round it is to use a monofilament backing on the spool before adding braid to the top. ![]() The advent of braided line has been a boon for many fishing applications, however using braid can make spooling your fishing reel an expensive proposition. In this post I demonstrate how to spool a fishing reel using braided line with a monofilament backing.
