    Albright knot connects the bimini to a single or braid to mono

    Bingo.

    This is a short version of an Albright, it's super easy to tie and strong as hell if tied right. However stay with an Albright to connect braid and mono the short version don't work.

    I am sure Jimmy would say don't use the short version anywhere.
