Stick with it dan! The albrite is great knot and worth mastering.

cheers for the links, i've got down how to tie it and about %70 of the time i can tie it quite well but the other times the knot just seems to slip and come apart under pressure.

i know its all about practising but any ideas what im doing wrong.

also is the double uni knot a good knot for joining flurocarbon to braid on a hooklink?

 

cheers
