what knot

[ironman172]

what knot should be used for connecting mono leader to a bimini twist on the main line(braid)...thanks in advance ....(albright??)(clinch??)

[Lastcast]

oops, just seen you said to a bimini

[ironman172]

Yea the bimini knot loop???

[sealark]

Just go up through the loop around both legs of the loop about three times and then back down through the loop again and tighten the mono.

Mono to a braid loop i like the Yucatan.

[Pass Time]

I like the yucatan too...very good strong knot. Never lost one yet!

Thanks for the replies guys, I guess it is either the yucatan or albright ....I think Ron's(sealark) is a shorter version of the albright

Bill I thought the same thing when i read that.

I used the albright before learning the yucatan and it is a pretty good knot but personally i think it is more difficult to tie correctly, makes a bigger knot that does not pass as well through the guides and i don't think it is as strong as the yucatan. When you tie the yucatan it is pretty obvious when it is tied correctly and you can have confidence the knot will hold.
