The Albright is typically described in the following way: "Use to attach backing to fly line or to join sections of monofilament that vary greatly in diameter (e.g.: tying an 80-lb. shock tippet to a 15-lb. class tippet when saltwater fishing)."

It's a quick, easy to tie knot, so I'm wondering why it can't be used for flyline to leader connection.

Knot gurus (of which I am not), opinions please.
