Alberto knot (modified albright) failing on cast

[MichaelAngelo]

I certainly do want the easy way out, a knot I can tie when I'm bumping around in the waves or have frozen fingers .

I tried the Red Philips knot last night. Very slim connection and features a single braid uni wrapped around a doubled length of fluorocarbon, and it is a jam knot. It's like your knot, but for 4 year olds . Actually, you could probably incorporate the double fluoro line idea into your knot.

Edit: Actually... just thought of something. If I take the time to tie GOOD knots off the water... then I won't have to worry at all about re-tying because the knots won't be failing! . Ah.
