My friend "Crazy" Alberto Knie developed the "Alberto Knot" over 30 years ago... it was based on the Albright knot but IMHO (and many others who have used it) is wayyyy better than the Albright or Modified Albright for connecting braided line to mono. If tied properly, this knot will NOT come undone... period.

Google Images for Alberto's Knot and you will see it. The picture I tried to enter below would not load for some reason, sorry.

Here is a video Alberto made also showing how to tie the knot...

It's very similar to those Chinese finger traps we used to play with as kids years ago... the more you pull... the tighter the knot becomes... I will not tie braid to my fluorocarbon leader without using this knot... it is simply the best and cleanest connection there is.

Hope this helps!
