Lead exposed at knot

[BrokeOff]

I noticed that I have some lead exposed at the albright knot to backing (tear in sheath i guess). Is this a weak spot or is this common with leadcore knots? The knot is 12 colors back so it is a pain to get to and retie.

its in need of a retying!

no need to retie next time you get it out it should break and yer all set just put on new.....Ok like robie says retie ,or else..

son of a. how many times should i wrap around for the albright knot? after 5 it gets pretty hard to pull tight and animated knots says to do 10. or do you guys prefer some kind of spro swivel?

i am using this on church tx-44 board should i splice in some 40# mono for where the board clips? i noticed it was wearing out my braid backing where the release holds.

Having just retied ALL of my lead cores I'd strongly recommend the Willis knot.... easy to do and works great.

Exactly what I did this past Sunday and I can now wait till this weekend to put new leader on!

Yup, willis knot is the only way to go.
