I have used the Alberto for several years, never had a failure on a fish so far..... I use 8 wraps down, 8 wraps back, had many failures initially until a friend showed me, Use the fluro or mono to form the loop, wrap with the nano or braid, seemed backwards to me, but works better at least for me. Since I usually use less than 6 ft. of leader, I often opt for mono over fluro, even more forgiving since Strech is not an issue, some fluro is more forgiving than others. Tight lines. g
