entered the loop, pass the lighter material back through the loop, as
shown here.
3. Pull on the standing parts of the lighter material and the heavier
material—pull steadily, don’t rush. Allow the coils to form toward the
end of the loop. Pull the tag end of the lighter material to seat the
coils. Next, pull steadily on the standing part of the lighter material,
coaxing the coils to the end of the loop in the heavier material. Using
pliers, pull the tag end of the lighter line, hard. Pull equally on the
light standing line and heavy tag to secure the knot. Trim the tag
ends.
Note: In the classic knot-tying book Practical Fishing Knots II, the authors
Mark Sosin and Lefty Kreh recommend using a finishing knot to lock the
tag end of the lighter line of the Albright in place, the same way you
would lock the Bimini Twist (see steps 3 and 4 of the Bimini on page 82).
