JC or RP both the same and unbeatable. 2X

I've been using the Alberto knot. Interesting that it's essentially the same as the JC/RP knot (5 turns vs 7 turns). I wonder who stole it from who.

I have been using a modified albright (Alberto) knott. It worked great when using 65lb braid to 50lb flouro then I switched to 40lb Segar pink label and it is thinner and the same knott with 5 turns in each direction let the flouro go, after 10 minutes of pulling super hard to cut through the kelp stringers. I lost my first hook up. So I re-tied and used 7 turns in each direction and had no problems pulling the next 3 yellow out of the same kelp mess.

I've been using the Albright for years, I've never had it break or come undone. I use 65lb spectra to 40lb mono, the mono will always break before the knot
