Strong Braid
Hi, I’ve got a fishing knot question, how do you connect a braided line to a mono line, a strong knot thks.
I lost a couple of fish due to poor knot connection from my main braided line to a 60lb mono leader.Any one knows a good strong knot please help thks.

The best knot for your application would probably be a Double Albright.. I’m assuming that you are using a spectra type braided line and trying to attach a 60lb mono leader or top shot.
I will attempt to try and explain this knot to the best of my ability in writing. I have tied it 100’s of times and have never had a knot failure.
Step 1. Form a 6-8″ loop in the mono and a 12-18″ loop in your braided line. Leave plenty of line to work with as it makes the final and critical steps easier to do.
Step 2. Put the braided loop through the mono loop about 8″.
Step 3. You will now have 2 strands of braid through the mono. Wrap the braid around the mono about 8-10 times, making sure that the braid lays flat and does cross it self. Now wrap back over the just completed wraps toward the end of the mono loop, again 8-10 times.
Step 4. Put the braided loop back through the mono loop. When this is done you will have 4 strands of braided line facing back toward your reel, the feed from the reel, a tag end and the braided loop. Now slide the braided wrap that you just made to close the gap around the mono loop.
Step 5. Now you tighten the knot and this is the critical step. 1st, you must tighten the 1st wraps you made on the mono going away from your reel, these are the feed from the reel and the tag end. Pull these as tight as you can get them. Now you still have a braided loop which is your top wraps, pull this tight. Basically tighten the under wraps 1st, then the top wraps.
Step 6. Finish the knot. Take the braided loop and tie a uni- knot around the braided line coming from the reel and the tag end. Trim off the tag and the braided loop and the excess mono from the mono loop.
This works best with braided lines and with mono leaders 60# and over. For lighter braided lines and leaders there is a better and simpler way.
Hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
