Uses: The Albright Knot is used to join monofilaments with different diameters. It is commonly used to join the fly line to the fly-reel backing line. It is well suited to slide readily through the guides when a fish pulls enough to reach your backing.

Tying it: It is important to wind the loops neatly round the loop of larger line. Hold the loops under your fingers as you wind the line on.

Advantages: The Albright is relatively smooth and passes through guides when required. Some anglers coat the knot with a rubber based cement to make it even smoother and more secure.
