Albright is a superior knot to the uni to uni for braid to mono/flouro. Higher breaking point plus skinnier which equals better to cast.

You would know if it was a shark Rolling in your line. The two that are notorious for it are soupfin and leopards. Leopards won't cut you off within 60 seconds and a soupfin will come up and hit the surface of it's in a rolling/thrashing mood. Doubt it was a blue.

I'm sticking with my multiple fish theory. Happens with snapper and tuna all the time.

Alberto is better than the albright

If your saying that it was two different reels with one rod, check your line guides for nicks or cracks in the rings...

Its actually the same knot. They just call it a reverse or improved albright. Alberto is another name. But those two are the same knots, and the one I use.

Maybe a shark with a powerful tail that wacked it? Did you feel any hard pumps while fighting it?

On the idea of 'bad braid', if it's new and you got both reels spooled at the same time, maybe it was a deffective batch?

That's weird.
