The Crazy Alberto knot is used for tying a leader to spectra.
Fluro to Spectra, or Mono to Spectra, but not Spectra to Spectra. --------------------------------- As Jim said you can tie a 4 turn Surgeons Loop in each of the Spectra lines, and make a Cats Paw Connection with the loops. 3 or 4 passes to create the cats paw is very strong. I know a few commercial guys make the connection that way. Simple to tie and very strong. ----------------------------------- Lately if I want to make a Spectra to Spectra connection I make a Splice. I use a 12 ft. piece of 100 lb. Hollowcore Spectra and using a latch needle I pull a doubled section of 65 lb. Spectra up into it. 6 ft. on each side, then tie an over hand knot on the ends to create the finger trap. -The strongest piece of line on the reel. ![]()
