 I assume you are using a fused line for it to break so easy?

Albright

Albright knot for sure, easy to tie and all well tied albright should never break, within reason of course.

Big diference between a well tied knot and a poorly tied though, i usually do 6-8 wraps up the leader and then the same back to your loop. A well tied albright should be nice and neat prior to you lubricating the line and pulling it tight.

Hope that helps mate.

What lb lines are you using

What lb lines are you using and what the purpose? Repetative casting e.g poppers? Fused or braid

Try 70 turn bimini with 15 turn yucatan

FG knot for repeat casting

Tie the knots neatly, wet and apply gentle pressure untill knots are tight.

FG knot for applications

FG knot for applications except when there is a hot bite and you need a quick leader, then albright and reduce drag......
