Nanofil + Leader

Good Day folks

Its been a while since I checked in. For the nanofil users out there, what knot are you using to connectyour leader material (if you use a leader) . I've tried back to back uni knots and it seems to work ok but on occasion I've had the connection slip. Maybe its my knot tying skills that need work but I'm wondering what knots others are using for the connection.

Cheers

Chris

I know there is a specific Nanofil Knot on the Berkley website.

Most guys I know are using an Albright, double Albright, or modified Albright (sometimes called an Alberto) knot to join nanofil to a leader.

I use the Albright or some derivative for all my line to leader knots.

I don't use Nanofil, but the Alberto (modified Albright) is one heck of a strong, compact knot for joining leader to mainline. I use that for FC leader on 15# braid mainline for dropshotting, as well as leaders for flipping or pitching if I decide I want to use a leader that day. Great knot.

I just use a double uni knot seems to work ok. Nanofil is very thin so try to make sure your leader line diameter is similar to the nanofil, this should help with your slipping problem.
