Albright Knots in Fly Fishing

Next one we're going to tie is the Allbright Knot. Here's our heavier material, this would be your fly line or your shock tip that you want to attach to your leader. Now we're going to fold it over like so, then we're going to take our lighter material and we're going to pull out enough, say maybe that much, and we're going to weigh it in line with the heavier material. And then what we're going to do is we're going to trap this and the loop with this lighter material. Wrap it back like so, until we get say, anywhere, from six to ten wraps. Then the trick is, is you're going to want to slide this back through the loop there and then tighten that down around that loop and then your lighter material, what you'll have, when you're finished, is something like that. The lighter material will actually sort of trap the heavier material and that's a good way to attach something thin to something thicker with an Allbright Knot.
