Brian, it is the best knot I have found when adding a leader to braid. You can also look at the double alberto and the crazy alberto but I am happy with the first knot mentioned and have not had the line break at any time at the knot.

I love all my Ducket rods and have several of different sizes and from the cranking rod all the way to the stiff one. The brand is not my only make but by far my favorite. The rod I broke at your lake was a St Croy. It did not help that it was rolled up in the elec car window just before I arrived at your place. For those that are interested, that light rod broke when boat flipping a bass. Lucky I had a Ducket with me.

Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
