Crazy Alberto knot, very few problems with it, I have one rod that has micro guides, as long as I have about a 6 foot leader it does not bother me.

Are ya"ll having any problems with it going thru the micro guides yes - mostly when flipping/pitching. I have to get the length just right so the know is either out of the tip or closer to the reel

I can just imagine tying the FG knot on the boat in the wind. LOL The Alberto has never failed me.

Are ya"ll having any problems with it going thru the micro guides I try and stay away from micro guides. I have two cranking rods with them on it and don't see any advantage they have over standard guides.

Good luck tying an FG on a boat deck in 20 mph wind..... way to complicated. Alberto for me.

I could easily tie it in wind. That said, it's never been an issue because I always make sure I have a nice long leader before I head out.

I was a big fan of the Alberto knot until a tried the FG. FG is where it's at. No problem casting through micro guides.

Are ya"ll having any problems with it going thru the micro guides nope. Never. But I also only use a leader from 10lb braid to 6 or 8 lb fluorocarbon. I only use braid on my little stuff. Everything else is 20lb InvisX. Edit.... Or straight 65lb in my frog rod and heavy flipping rod.
