I find this version of the Albright
special knot a little easier to tie than the regular version,
and it’s even stronger. The extra wraps passing between
the turned over leader material help to stop the coils of
thinner main line from slipping off the end of the loop as
the knot is tightened.
Form the knot exactly
as if you were tying a regular Albright special, but
when you have finished making your wraps around both
strands of the leader make a further 5 or 6 wraps around
just one strand of the leader material and the main
line as shown.
As before, lubricate the knot
with saliva and pull tight, gently snugging up the coils
as you tighten.
