Special K Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi quick question for anybody that can help. I'm setting up a new copper rig today and I want to try the shrink tubing over my albright knot. Question is how much heat do you guys use? Indirect flame? Hair dryer? I just cringe at the thought of using to much heat and weakening my backer. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsniffer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 i wouldnt recommend shrink tube over an albright cus the backer and leader are attached..if youre gonna use shrink tube use a haywire twist with a small spro or comparable swivel..heat the shrink tube let cool then put leader or backer on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver one Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I have never had a leader break off of an albright not going to copper. and I put nothing over it. I have done it with alluminium anodized guides and roller guides. also with. if the knot is tied correclty you should barley have a tag end. I see what you are getting at and it is not a bad thought Just dont think it is necessary. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
