   I should’ve commented as to why an Albright is good/useful. It’s a knot for tying line to line, like in the case of braid to fluoro/mono. I ended up picking up some 50# green Spiderwire tonight and I’ll match it up with 50# pink Ande. I’ll use the Albright to connect the two.

   You should experiment with the Albright knot a little bit. They will slip sometimes if they aren’t tied exactly right. A lot of saltwater fishermen will tie a “lock” with the tag end of the main line to prevent slipping. You can also tie a Reverse Albright , which is somewhat easier to tie.

   Albright knots are perfect for shock leaders when you’re casting heavy weights from the surf. They pass through the guides a lot better than some of the bulkier knots.

   Here’s a link that shows the Reverse Albright and how to tie a lock on an Albright knot :

   Good luck fishing this weekend!
