The braid is the wrapping line. Keep tension so the wraps do not cross.

A first-time knot in a hurry. Seat it at home once so you know which way the tag leaves.

Albright Knot
Step 1
Make a loop in the heavier line and hold the crossover.
Step 2
Wrap down the loop. 5 turns so far.
Step 3
Finish 10 wraps in that direction.
Step 4
Pass the tag back out through the opening it entered.
Step 5
Wet the knot. Pull the standing lines until the loop closes and the wraps seat. Trim both tags.
The drawing follows this tying order. Pause, step, or scrub to stay with the words. The standing line runs to the reel. The tag is the short end you trim. Skin-hook means the point lies flat in the plastic, not out where grass can grab it.
Common mistakes
- Wraps that jump off the leader loop.
- The tag leaving through the opposite side of the loop.
