Above are some pictures of both the Albrite Knot and a Haywire Twist. I put the calipers to them and here are the results. Albrite Knot - .119" Haywire Twist with srhink tubing - .109" (These measurements vary knot by knot) Not only is the Haywire Twist meathod smaller it is also stronger. I tied both knots in the same piece of copper and applied preassure and everytime the copper broken near the Albrite knot. I did this three times. When running larger rotators or a fouled hook sometimes a twist can develope in the line. This can be catostrophic for copper line but if there is a ball bearing swivel in the line it will drastically reduce the chance of twisting the copper line. One of the biggest advantages of the Haywire twist is the smooth leading and following edges. This is a lot better for the guides on the pole and reel and helps to prevent snags as the knot is passing through the guides. Having these smooth edges makes the size of the knot less of a factor. The Albrite has very sharp edges which can easily get hung up especially with the size of the knot. The Alrbite knot works for a lot of people, im not trying to convert anyone just relaying why we tie the copper rigs this way.
