ALBRIGHT KNOT
Use to attach backing to fly line or to join sections of
monofilament that vary greatly in diameter (leaders).
Form an open-ended loop in the fly line (or larger diameter
monofilament). Pass the backing (or smaller diameter strand)
through the loop and take one turn around fly line.
Wind the tag end of the backing around itself and the fly line
loop. Take 10-12 winds, keeping them in place with left hand. Pass
the backing through the loop so that it comes out on the same side
it entered on.
Slide the coils of backing together. Take care that backing does
not slide off the end of fly line before tightening.
Tighten by pulling on the tag end of the backing while holding
both strands of fly line in left hand. With left hand still
holding both ends of fly line, pull on standing part of backing.
Pull tag end of backing again and standing part one more time.
Complete tightening by pulling only on standing parts of fly line
and backing. Trim tag ends. |
