Thanks for the replies. Tied a bunch of Albright Knots and destruction tested them. Too make sure I tied them right they should be fine. The other options are interesting too.

This is a much better knot than the regular albright when using spectra, and the same as the John Collins knot I linked to.
Dont know who developed it first but its a good one.
The reg albright was designed to attach mono to mono of different diameters and works great for that.

Blood knot.

What's the purpose of tying backing to braid back to mono?

I use braided as a solid mainline and flurocarbon leaders. Works good and it's easy to maintain. No pesky knots going through your eyelets.

The mono top shot is to keep your release clip from slipping off the narrower diameter braid.

I use the good Scotty clips and never had an issue with 30 pound braid?
I heard this has been an issue at the fish and tackle store but never experinced this problem

 

[scott craven]

Interesting, maybe I'll try it

As well as the grip on the clip issue, about 30 ft top shot of mono makes for a more forgiving setup with a hot fish coming to the boat. It's the best of both worlds, the braid has far less stretch when fishing deep but that mono top shot calms it down a bit close to the boat.

Knot or not?.A sailor comes in from sea and finds a lady of the night, and takes her to a hotel.After a hour there the sailor asks how he is doing.The lady replys "your doing three Knots"."Three knots?" the sailor replys."yes three Knots" the lady says, and replys" your not in ,your not hard,and your not getting your money back". sorry for the hijack

I usually run my lines pretty far back off the boat when fishing clear lakes otherwise I would defiantly give that a try, I did lose the odd fish during the fight but not since I started leaving my boat in gear while bringing him in , I figured it was because of the no stretch braid and barbless hook(never happens when I have a conventional hook on)the only time I loose them at the boat is when the old lady knocks one off with the net.

You guys have a lot of good tricks, I enjoy reading the forum and seeing all the different methods. I've even adopted a few of them
