Lead Core Line

What is the preferred knot when attaching lead core to backing?

I normally take the lead out of the line for about 4 inches and then "try" to tie an albright, but it just doesn't seem like a great connection.

Thanks

Uni to Uni works for me. Sometimes I use a small swivel, those nice spro ones are tiny thru the guides.

Never had any problem with the Albright, only been down to the backing a few times. I have gone to the small in line swivels for the lead to the mono though last year.
