Thanks mate. Great knot lesson, and thanks to you I'm catching heaps of bait in my cast net.

I’ve tried a bunch of knots and this is by far the best one

Thank you for the tutorial, the way you demonstrate and explain how to tie the knot is everything that I couldn't find in other peoples tutorials.

Best knot video on YouTube. You rule the underground

First time I tried this knot. Took me 2 times to watch your video and 2 tries to get it right. Real simple and strong. Thanks!!!

Thanks Capt. Mike. First time using braid and needed a way to put fluorocarbon leader. Looked at many knots, tried the FG knot for a couple of nights and could not get it with my big, old fingers/hands (slightly arthritic) but, using your Crazy Alberto knot tutorial, I was able to tie a great small knot the first try and I kept practicing, felt good to finally have success lol. Pretty sure the drag will give before the knot. Thanks again.

I've been searching for an easy, elegant and small diameter knot for braid to mono ( that's easy to tie) for ages. Tried heaps but this one is the best. Thanks for a simple tutorial. Tight lines.

This video is still proving to be very helpful. Thank you for sharing it.

THis is my second favorite knot. My favorite is the FG knot with the rizzo finish. Best knot strength, a little more difficult to tie at first. But it outperforms the backing knot used here. With that said I have never had either of these knots fail.

I love this knot, this is my go-to. Nice visual tutorial.

This video is super helpful. I’m terrible at remembering knots, but this seated it onto my brain. Thanks a lot.

Great knot and an excellent tutorial! I use it with 30lb braid to 8-20lb mono or flouro and it's really easy. Thanks!

[captainyak]

Not only it's extremely strong, but it's also beautiful and clean. Thanks for sharing! And BTW any news about your boat? if you don't mind me asking...

[eeeess]

It's been a couple years since I looked up knot tying. But damn I'm glad I did today. This knot looks and feels perfect. Thanks

This is my go-to knot, great demo. It is also doable in the wind, since I kayak fish a lot, that is important.

Capt Mike I love tying this knot, been fishing for a year now (5 days a week), I tie this all the time along with the San Diego Jam and Palomar, I have never had this knot fail. I have had line snap (Braid) in front but never has the knot failed even tied incorrectly!

[BillDeWeese]

Great video. I was a big user of the FG Knot and still like it, but I started doing bay Grouper/Snapper fishing here in Tampa Bay and would suffer a lot of break-offs. I moved to the Alberto as it is an excellent knot and is so very fast to tie on a new leader. I now use it almost exclusively and only bother with the FG for very large diameter mono.

The other nice thing about your Alberto is if you keep a pair of nail clippers handy the tag end of the mono/flouro can be nipped extremely close to the braid and it is a very smooth knot.

You da Man Capt. Mike! Thanks for the great video...this is my go to knot now!! :)

[killajakez]

A world of thanks. Without exaggeration, I have been trying to tie a braid to mono shock leader for three years. I got this on the first try. I cannot thank you enough. Jake - from Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn.
