HCR,

The reason we don't use the Albright Knot for line to leader connection is it's bulk. While it's a strong knot and will do the job. The first time you have to use a leader longer than your rod your going to have trouble getting that knot to pass through the tiptop. Which you have to do to land a fish. If the fish makes a last second run you stand a good chance of breaking a rod when the knot hangs on your guides.
