You must be retired!

I'm tired but not REtired. :D That phone call to Henry sounds like an expensive one! :D RIO makes great lines. I have two right now.

I think I only have one outfit that I spooled myself, and I used a nail knot. Either Bass Pro or the Fish Hawk spooled my other ones. Here's some more detail about the Albright:

Here's another useful knot site:

I've recommended this DVD in other threads, but it's worth repeating. This is a Scientific Angler DVD done by Larry Dahlberg (the "Hunt for Big Fish" guy on OLN.) One of the features is Larry demonstrating EVERY knot you need for fly fishing. He uses very thick line, so it's easy to see what he's doing.
