I just recently started using the Alberto, so much easier and cleaner than the double uni I used in the past.

A dab of superglue on a double uni seems to stop any slipping.

I lost two keeper fish on Amistad this weekend along with two of my favorite baits due to that double uni knot slipping...never dawned on me to use a drop of superglue (which I use to keep trailers on my jig and spinnerbaits...its always available)...DUH !!!!

I am running 30 on Spinning set up

I fish braid a lot. Not having a lot of confidence in if fish can see braid or not I tend to fish with a leader 90% of the time. Most rods have 20-30lb braid to a 10-17lb leader. I have switched to nothing but the fg knot and have never had a knot break

Wrap the braid around the fluoro with the braid--the braid really digs in and won't come loose. A good line to hook knot with the fluoro (palomar, pitzen, San Diego Jam, doubled uni) will fail before the crazy alberto.

Double Double Uni

I've been using the double uni since my Redfish Cup days.... Never had any troubles with it... Now that I bass fish I've had the same good luck...

I use floro for more sensitivity. Do you loose feel with the floro leader backed with braid?

The sensitivity is awesome with braid and flouro leader.

I use the FG knot with braid to flouro works great knot has never failed.

I used a uni knot exclusively for years without ever having a failure. 22# Northern pike plus many 8-15 #er's, 20-30# striper (rockfish in the Chesapeake), 50# Cobia in the Chesapeake...never had a problem with this knot.

Try this website. It has several ways to tie the Alberto knot. I was tying it wrong.

Double hangman's knot.
Simple, quick, won't slip or break.

Yep... first fell in love with fishing at the coast... Uni to Uni was the norm for 35 plus inch reds back then if it was tied right... once caught a 39 pound jack off the north jetty at PA with 30 pound power pro and a 17 pound copolymer leader... melted the drag on the penn SS but the uni to uni held! Been a bass guy for 10 years and while ive had a few failures they were tying errors, not knot failures. Just haven't felt the need to try the newfangled knots. I'll use 60 braid with 25 fluoro with a uni/uni on clear water in heavy grass and it won't fail if you're careful tying it. The key is practice tying it until you can do it with your eyes closed.
