I need to start using the modified albright. A double uni has cost me several nice lures. I know I am tying them correctly I just think 20lb braid to 20 flouro is a recipe for disaster.Show more3 years ago
mudpuppyI'm the unconventional guy and tie my braid directly to a tactical clip using a double improved clinch knot with 4 wraps and have never had one fail...even on large fish. Maybe I've been lucky but this is what works for me.3 years ago
