The Best Knot for Connecting Backing to Fly Line - Albright Knot

Many manufacturers now include a welded loop in fly lines for easy loop-to-loop connections with backing on fly reels. However, some anglers prefer to tie their backing directly to the fly line, sometimes cutting off the welded loop. One effective knot for this is the Albright knot, which creates a strong connection between braided backing and floating fly line. It allows for neat trimming of tag ends without compromising strength. Here’s how to tie the Albright knot: 1. Form a loop in the fly line and pass about 10 inches of backing through this loop. 2. Hold the lines and wrap the backing around itself and both loop strands, doing 5 to 10 tight turns. 3. Feed the tag end of the backing through the loop, exiting on the same side it entered. 4. Tighten the knot by pulling the backing, and trim any excess tag ends for a tidy finish.
