Uni to Uni have never had a failure using this, and it's fairly quick to do.

Yeah...what he said.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Albright or reverse albright. Never had one fail. Line will break before or after the know but never had the knot itself fail

No boat, back in the suds.

I have used a bunch of different knots. Between fly fishing and all tackle fishing I have never, ever, had an albright knots fail, never. It is a thing of beauty as is all other well-tied knots, but the albright is the best of all.

Uni to Uni is the best knot IMO. I used the Alberto for about a year- this is also a great knot but I found it difficult to tie quickly and often times had to tie several times for the knot to be perfect.

Albright. Never had a failure. If I make the connection at home, I'll put a drop of Zap-a-Gap on there.
