HOW TO Tie BRAIDED Fishing Line to MONOFILAMENT or Fluorocarbon Leader- Easy and Strong Fishing Knot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Video demonstrates a very easy and strong fishing knot for connecting braided line to your monofilament leader. This fishing knot is very strong and is easy to tie.
The knot is very similar to the Albright, technically the Reverse Albright but with the addition of the Surgeons Loop to close off the braid instead of having the open loop
In the past I had used barrel swivels for my monofilament leaders and ran into problems with the barrel getting hung up in the rods tip and breaking the guide's ring. This knot when finished has a very low profile and goes through the guides on my fishing rods very cleanly.
The striped bass and bluefish I target fishing the Fire Island Inlet in New York have put this knot to the test over the past several years and I have not had the knot fail at all.
Maybe Tonight Fishing Charters fishes the waters of Great South Bay and Fire Island Inlet on Long Island's south shore for striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, fluke and other local species.

Thanks for sharing,
it's not only faster than any other way, but it's the best I've ever seen.
Thanks again for sharing
this is my go-to knot for jigging, but i do a bimini twist or a spider hitch to double my braid, but the yucatan knot is on point, and the best part is that you can easily change leaders without damaging the double line.
VERY GLAD to hear that!!! Thanks for coming by again and letting me know!! :-) Enjoy the rest of your fishing season!! Tight lines,, Capt Paul
Nice Bristol knot. Very strong knot. Thanks Capt.
For those having it fail, especially with floro, instead of 10 turns, give it more like 18. Solved the problem of slipping and has held many 30+ lb salmon. Thanks, great knot.
Hi Capt Paul, I just wanted to say thanks for this video, its a very strong knot and its working very well for me.
Thanks again and thight lines from Roatan Honduras
Thanks capt i'll give the knot a try, tight lines from the UK
totally agreed with you captain! i hate tie FG on the rocking boat but if my guide wear off, my fishing trip will be end too. Please upload more, cant wait to improve my knowledge with you :)
I've tied this knot and repeatedly tested it, I used 50lb braid and 50lb mono leader, in all my tests it took considerable pressure to break it, much much more than you'd expect from 50lb line
Glad this video helped you out a bit!! Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts!! Tight lines to you, Capt Paul
I am re spooling to braid. Thank you for the instruction. Your knot seems the strongest and neatest to me.
Brent Howard thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciate you taking to the time to add your thoughts! :-) Have a great season on the water this year, cheers, Capt Paul
I've been told it is called a Yucatan Knot, when I searched for that knot I found it sure seems to be just that!! Whatever it's called it works great for me!! Thanks for coming by, cheers!! Capt Paul
Was having a bit of a problem tying the Albright out on my mates boat this knot looks a lot easier and quicker have tied it a few times at home and I like it
Hi Paddy Cranham thanks for coming by and taking the time to leave your feedback. HOpe the knot works out well for you, tight lines to you!!! Capt Paul
Capitan thanks for taking your time and let us know this excellent knot. I use it for jigging and light trolling. A knot is easy and quick to do even when the sea is very lively.
NO MONO SLIP IF TIED CORRECTLY (as in video ~ 3:00-3:30 min): This knot is unlikely to slip unless it is not cinched down correctly. If you are having trouble with the mono slipping out then carefully re-watch the Captain's video from about 3-3:30 min. Pay close attention to how the Captain carefully forms the knot with the braid-loop coming straight down at the end of the braid-twists--tightening only after the loop is seated. (I'm pretty sure I saw this solution somewhere on this site but I don't remember where/who. Anyway this tip fixed it for me.)
Thanks Captain--I subscribe to your channel and watched many of your videos because I always learn a lot from you. Please keep up the good work and keep them coming.
Hi ***** Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to provide your input on this video!! Yes, I do have another video on the channel explaining where I think folks are running into problems with the slipping. Thanks again, and tight lines to you, Capt Paul
easiest knot by far, you went at bit fast at first but once I got it, I got it. Great knot!!!
Terrific knot. With the night fishing I do, this is perfect for tying in the dark, as you said. Many thanks.
No worries, thx for such a great video I got a chance to forward on to my Google + Community . I will probably reshare a few of your other knott tying tips as well... I hope you dont mind me sharing this with our Group of Anglers here in the Midwest.
Hey mate
New to braid, and out of all the videos I searched through I found this the easiest knot!
Thanks alot for the vid!!!
Hi Captain Paul, new to using spin reels and braid and have been trying different nots form the fluoro lead and have found the ones that have been shown to me difficult to tie especially if bit of wind etc, I tried your knot today and found it to be as you described easy to tie and strong, thanks mate
Mick Miller you are very welcome my friend and I am happy to hear it worked out well for you. There sure are TONS of different ones out there but this one just works well for ME and that's the main thing right ?? :-) Tight lines you, Capt Paul
Hi there VB, glad to hear this video may have helped you out a bit!! Hope you have a great fishing season, tight lines to you, Capt Paul
this appears to be a simple knot. it also seems like it would have no problem staying together. I will try this and it looks very easy to do thank you for your help.
this is the easiest braid to mono knot ive found, as im new to using braided main line and this is 'knots for idiots' easy. tyvm. and im off for coho fishing on the anchor river, alaska
Hello Captain Paul....Thank you for the excellent teaching video! I take several young people out on charter boats for bottom fishing off northern California coast. Last year, I re-tied all my loaner rods using this great knot. Have not had one of these knots fail!
I have been looking at many different ways to joint the two lines. This was to me the easiest way to do so. I decided to try and skip the first step and just double the line and do the turns. It works just as will, the only reason I did this is because I did not like that loop in the braid. It has worked well for me.
Bryce, glad to hear the knot worked out for you!! I too find it the easiest and quickest, have a great fishing season, tight lines to you, Capt Paul
Thank you so much for this video!! I watched it several years ago and have been tying my mono to braid with this knot ever since. I use small lines, 5lb braid to 6lb mono and this does the job.
drakes momma that is great news!! Thank you for taking the time to add your feedback here!! Great to know this helped you out a bit, tight lines to you, Capt Paul
Very easy knot. Thanks for sharing.
This knot is awesome....I tried it about 10 times at last I mastered it...I even use Braided 15lb to fluro 20lb...
Muhammad Farid AWESOME!!! Glad to hear this knot worked out well for you. I hope you have a great season on the water this year, tight lines, Capt Paul
HI Lee, I hope it works out as well for you as it has for me, thanks for coming by and saying Hi!! Tight lines to you , Capt Paul
Thanks this was such a stress reliever
Thanks that knot looks easy and strong plus its small
Britt Pereira very easy and works out well for me :-) Tight lines, Capt Paul
Excellent demo, thanks champ! Going to rig up with brain and give it a go.
cheers Capt Paul. very helpful tip...
I guess it could cause some issues with smaller guides like on a freshwater bass casting outfit, I don't freshwater fish at all and the guides are my rods are no problem with this knot at all :-) Thanks for stoppoing by and leaving your feedback, tight lines to you, Capt Paul
Thanks for doing it over a pool table. The dark background really helps to see what's happening there.
Been using this all season so far, without fail. Great knot, cheers!
HI Paul Bleemstra that is GOOD News!!! Very happy to hear it is working out well for you, tight lines to you, Capt Paul
Thanks for all your great videos. I seem to have no problem doing this knot with regular braid. If i try the same knot with hollow core spectra... it seems to slip every time. Any tips?
Hi Joey, thanks for your feedback. I totally understand that there are plenty of other knots for doing this same thing, however, when I need to re-tie quickly, in the dark, on rocking boat in 45 degrees this one is VERY easy for me to do. I'd HATE to even think of trying the FG in conditions like that and get the rod back in action quickly ;-) Tight lines to you, Capt Paul
Just seen your video and I tied the knot as seen in your video, I find it to be a great knot! Love it and thanks for making this video. Happy fishing!
Nice video. I'll give this knot a try with 20 lb braid and 20 lb flurocarbon leader. I have been using a uni to uni.
BEAUTIFUL!! Using thid knot for my chinook rig to keep from cutting my hands up. GREAT! Thanks.
clean knot, good vid. old school basser here. I know braid is great, but to me its a pain in the ass, still stayin with my mono, good 'ol clear/ Florissant stren.
This is a solid connection that won't slip. However, it can be made much stronger.
The Yucatan knot tied here is great. Just make sure you use enough wraps: as many as 18 with lighter mono, as few as 7 with heavy (60lb+). The surgeon's loop is weaker, so it will be your failure point. To make an stronger connection, a 50-turn Bimini twist can be used in the braid to make the loop. A good Bimini is a 100% knot, and it's easy to tie in braid (easier than in mono). A better knot means you can scale down to thinner braids for longer casts and less drag in the water.
this is a yucatan knot without the surgeon loop at the begining. i used this knot on my rods but had trouble getting it to hold on thinner line. surgeons loop helped to eliminate that issue
:-) :-) Thanks for coming by and leaving your feedback!! I appreciate it. I actually did this knot video over cuz some folks let me know it was hard to see!! :-) Thanks again, tight lines.. Capt Paul
Was re-spooling with braided, and thought I will use the last couple feet of old mono as "backing".
Thats called a Yucatan knot I use this for fishing all the time. Excellent knot.....
Very nice presentation, quick and easy thanks.
Awesome vid and awesome knot! Totally upped my game, cheers Capt Paul!
That's a great knot. Cheers
Thanks so much for the simple great knot!
HI!!! Thank you for your feedback!! I appreciate it!! Sure there are other knots out there but this one is strong and is very easy for me to tie in a hurry!! :-) Hope you have a great fishing season, tight lines to you!!! Capt Paul
Hi Tom, sure thing, the rod in this video is from Star Rods, it is in their Stellar Surf series and is a 8ft spinning rod. The model number is SG80IS and you will not BELIEVE how inexpensive they are. And inexpensive does NOT mean it's lacking any quality at all!!! Just incredible quality and durability at such a low price. The reel on the rod is a Quantum CABO 30 spooled with 30lb braid, WONDERFUL combo!!! I'd think you could even go with a Cabo 40 on this stick. Thanks for coming by, Capt Paul
Very nice !!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome stuff new to braid we shall try this not on the next fishing expedition
Mike Sisko kid
This is a great not, I've tried it with ever line combo I could think of and the not always held, the line would break befor the not or after the not. Thanx your the best.
Mike Sisko VERY glad to hear this knot is working out for you, once tied properly it's pretty solid man!! :-) :-) Good luck on the water this season, Capt Paul
Thanks for the info! I needed to tie on some mono topshot for my baitcast reel. Only problem that i had was that the knot was a little to big for my levelwinders but with a little force you could pop the knot through. Once again thank for the info!
Thank you easy knot to tie
Up to now I've been using the uni knot which has been ok but a bit fiddly to tie. This looks pretty simple to tie up, I will try it next time a reattach a leader. Good vid thanks!
Plus, the braid in the uni-to-uni knot cuts into the mono while in this knot it doesnt!
Ye, great knot. it is a Yucatan knot most used to attach to a bemini double line twist.
thanks for great info
I tie a simple clinch knot in the braid and run the mono through the loop and tie a second clinch know in the mono.I then draw both knots tight against each other and trim the tag ends. It works for me.
Same
been practicing the FG knot a lot to get ready for a salt water trip soon. Bit tuff to get right but it seems to be super strong as well
***** yep, that looks like another great knot for doing the same thing but I am just familiar with this one and can tie it quickly so I stick with what has worked for me in the past :-) good luck on the water, Capt Paul
Thanks for that knot. was indeed easy to tie. much appreciated!
my left ear enjoyed this
Yes, with hollow core spectra I would normally splice direct or use wind on leaders with a loop to loop connection. I would only do this if I had a break off of some sort and I needed to tie on something fast. I will try to post a video showing what's happening. thanks again
Awesome knot thank you sir
Very helpful thanks
Thanks...I'll give it a shot.
am i the only one who can't stop looking at that giant roll of line? haha.
Deffinatly like this a lot better than swivels held a lot thank you
Lucas Titcher late reply and sorry about that but YEP, I think it works out MUCH better than swivels. The swivels keep getting cranked up through the tip guide and knocking the ring out :-) :-) good luck on the water, Capt Paul
thanks for the video I use a albright knot works really good also
Redmarlin77 yep, that is another good one, I guess at the end of the day whatever works best for each angler is the "good one" :-) Good luck to you on the water and thanks for coming by and taking the time to leave your feedback, cheers, Capt Paul
Sean's comment on the mono slips thru the braided. It happened to me when I was trying to connect a thin, small diameter mono to the braided. "Mis-matching" a 8 lbs mono to a 30 lbs braided. Okay when I started using 15 lbs mono.
Great video to share!
The knot looks great but after watching a couple of times I still couldn't get it, think it would have been better if you'd used thin coloured rope so it would be easier to follow. Thanks for the effort and time however to make this!!
Im actually happy he used braid and mono as the demos using rope are easy but rope behaves a lot differently than braid and mono does
Great Video... I just reshared you in the Fishing Tackle Forum Community. Thx
The monofilament or fluorocarbon line keeps the braid from slipping on the reel spool. I usually cover the reel spool with about 15-20 yds of mono before putting on the braid.
Hope this helps. Tight lines :)
love how quick this knot is made and it makes totaly sense to be very strong like that. I think it looks even stronger than the albright or 7-11. I am just not sure if it realy glides trough a smaller tip guide without any problems, especialy when casting lures hard all day long with a baitcaster-combo..what do you say?
Used this knot to connect 30lb fluoro to 20lb braid. Simple knot, should not have failed. Even used your trick for lubricating the knot, pulled in nice and tight. Lost tube and worm lure and fish 10 seconds in, reeled up intact surgeons knot in braid, fluoro was gone.
Tony S WOW!! that's new one too me with this knot. Sorry to hear about the lost rig, I couldn't even imagine where it went wrong with you stating it was snugged down tight. That would be the first thing I'd think of but doesn't sound like the case here. :-( I can tell you if that happened to me I too would be looking for another method but thankfully I've not had that.
BMN, I use 30lb braid and 25 lb mono for stripers, blues. But it would depend on your outfit. These that I am talking about would be considered heavier tackle for casting large lures and fishing the live baits. For lighter tackle you can drop down to 10 or 20lb braid. Thats a good one for fluking too :-)
great knot captain
go to minute 2:30 for the lesson.
Lifesaver
Not all heroes wear capes.
Thank you
Not bad... looks a lot like the aussie quickie knot (which you can find on RUclips). It is a good knot for most but not all fishing situations. I used one at the Monte Bello island of Western Australia and it lasted about 2 days jigging up bottom fish around the 8-15kg mark. But it is definitely no replacement for the PR or FG knot if you are chasing GT's, kingfish etc.
Hi Milan, you are very welcome, thanks for the feedback. I would love to hear how this knot holds up for you against those AJs :-) Tight lines to you and thanks again, Capt Paul
The is a really nice knot. I like the fact that it is so small.
I have the mechanics of the knot down. The only problem i continually have is that the mono keeps slipping. I am sure the braid loop is where it should be at the end. But slipping keeps happening.
I must have tried making the knot 50 times, and i get the same result.
I saw a video that you have awhile ago that showed the making of the knot, and on that video, the position of the braid loop was key to it working.
I don't what i am doing wrong, Can you help?
Thanks
.Try tightening it at the same time by spreading the loop of the braid - this seams to gather the knot better and allow it to cinch itself.....had the same problem at first - in response to people who experience "slipping" of the knot.
Thx for the tip.
Awesome post! Thank you!
thanks
Blah Blah Blah, Off to the next channel. Thx
Yes. Sorry for my mistake. It`s double grinner.
Actually I make a test for any knot I use and with your knot a mono allways breaks at the knot. Try it.
So far I was using yucatan knot. If you make it perfect it is strong and 100% strenght knot.
Double Grinner is complicated but it`s good as well. Maybe I `ll make a video for that knot and test it for your reference as well with yucatan knot.
Thanks for regards and I wish you a great season too.
ITs very similar in result to a ducknose that i use for certain jobs like tuna trolling. ITs not the way i tie it, for instanc emy double is a bimini etc. But anyway im sure its helped alot of people. The big issue with this knowt is casting it through the guides for any length of time, it weakens. cheers
Ya I dont know. I think I am tying it correctly. I am not purposely putting it down as the prior poster suggested. I would like it to work as I would like to get away from the double uni because it is kinda hard for an old man like me to tie giving my poor vision.
Would you create some video for beginning fishing from getting a new rod, tying the lines, knots, etc.. the whole 9 yard.
The Power Pro I have is unused still on the spool looks new but is over 7 years old. Perhaps Power Pro from back then was a lot slippier than what they make now. I tried it several times. In the past my biggest problem was with the power pro fraying on the end and then those fibers slip into the knot and the whole thing comes apart. I have started using a soldering iron to burn off the end but you probably don't have a soldering iron on the boat. :). so I was looking for something better.
I like this one
That sounds like a GREAT time!!! Good luck !!! :-) Hope you get some videos!!! :-)
Cheers mate
waaay to fast hard to see and couldnt figure this knot out
Since making this video I have learned from folks posting here that the name of this knot is the Yucatan knot. For years I never knew it :-) Cheers!!
