Tying Modified Albright Fishing Knot and Wacky Rigged Senkos
Hi this is Kevin Hawk, Bass Masters Elite Series Pro.
And today I'm going to show you how to tie a modified albright knot.
I really like the modified albright knot whenever I'm joining fluorocarbon with braid.
Basically, you're just giving yourself a liter material with a braid backing and it's perfect
for anytime you're fishing a shaky head or your wacky rigging a Senko skipping under
docks.
The lack of stretch is going to help you get more hook sets and it's going to be more sensitive.
So what you're going to do is, you're going to take your fluorocarbon liter and this happens
to be Seaguar Invizx Fluorocarbon line and I'll throw 12 or 15 pound depending on the
type of cover that I'm fishing around.
And then my main line is Seaguar Kanzen Braid.
And I like the 15 pound test for this.
What you're going to do is you're going to stick your braid through the loop of the fluorocarbon
liter and you're going to wrap the braid around both lines 8 times.
And then lubricate it really well.
Then you're going to take your index finger and thumb and you're going to pinch it so
the line doesn't come unraveled and you're going to wrap it back the same way you came
an additional 8 times.
Now once you've done that, you're going to take the tag under your braid and bring it
through that loop.
And lubricate it really well and you're going to pull both sets of lines until the knot
cinches down.
Just like that.
Now as you can see, it's a really thin knot and it's going to come through your guides
extremely well.
Then just go ahead and clip both tag ends, just like that.
Now what I like to do is reel the knot through the first 2 guides.
That way when you tie your hook on, and you reel up your bait to the top of the rod, you
want it sitting between the first guide and the top of the reel seat.
Somewhere right in here, that way you're not reeling the knot onto the spool weakening
the knot.
So now I'm going to take my Owner 1/0 Weed less Wacky Hook
and tie it with a palomar knot.
And now I'm going to rig the Senko.
Take a 5 inch Yamamoto Green Pumpkin Senko.
You can use this little rigging tool and there's these plastic O rings that all you are going
to do is slide down the rigging tool.
Put the Senko in and where you want this O ring sitting is at the bottom of the smooth
section of the Senko.
It's real easy to spot because there got a lot of ribs on it and there's like a half
inch section that has, it's just all smooth.
It seems to be the perfect counter balance point to wacky rig that Senko.
And when you hook it on, you're not going to catch any of the plastic at all.
You're just going to barely slide it under that plastic O ring and that's..... you're
left with your finished product right there.
So let's go skip some docks.
