Modified Albright is what I use on my dropshot setup. 20 lb 832 to 8-10 lb sunline sniper. Ive never had a problem with slipping or breaking. Make sure you we tor put chapstick on the knot before you sinch it down. Fluoro is bad about burning itself when you sinch it, braid is even worse

If your leader is short enough to be able to cast with a swivel, you might as well run straight braid imo. I run about 10' of leader on my setups

Thanks for every suggestion, post, and link to video. For me at least right now the modified albright knot works the best. I've had good luck with it but I also think that following suggestions about not setting the hook so hard and setting my drag a little lighter have helped. I really appreciate all the help. Happy Fishing everyone emoParty

Alberto is easy to tie. And when sinched up is very clean.

FG knot. never had one break. also use a long leader of flouro to lessen the torque on the knot during hooksets.
