Mooch, I just saw the video on the Uni Knot to Uni Knot. How close can you trim the tag ends and keep the knot secure? Obviously, the closer the better for going through Rod Guides or anything else the knot can get caught on. This knot seems perfect for attaching Spectra to Monofilament leaders.

for this reason the albright is usually used on a thicker mono leader. if the mono leader is thick enough for the protruding tag end to be a problem with a uni to uni, use an albright.

Fantastic thread. Not sure how I missed it. Had I saw this before the MBK tourney, I wouldn't have needed to bug GB2.
Now I'll just sit back and wait for somebody to post how to tie the albright. :smt003

In my experience, I have never had a problem using the uni to uni. Sure you feel the knot "tick" the guide but I have never broken off my line because of it. Use the knot system that works for you :smt002
