Hello, when I started using braided line, I started to see several knots to tie the leader and among all the fishermen they always gave me a different one, but one day a good friend He told me to use the fg knot, I can assure you that the leader is finished first before it bursts, from then on it is the only knot I use for that, and I am already very skilled at doing it.

Greetings from Australia. I am a huge fan of getting the most out of my braid by using the thinnest diameter of light braids and light leaders for estuary fishing. I also bulk spool purchased a ton of "4lb" Fireline years ago so this is what I will use until it all gets worn out and thrown away. New 4lb Fireline used to break at 16ish lbs tension before knotting so to say it is overkill is an understatement. I, too used to use a double uni knot long ago to attach the 4lb braid to 8lb fluorocarbon and yeah it use to fail at the uni knot at around 4-5 lbs every time. Then I learned how to tie the FG knot by using the technique of holding the braid at tension ( with the rod in a rod holder in my kayak and the end of the braid between my teeth) This method works fine for me with such thin braids. Now, because of perfecting the tying of the FG knot whilst kayaking, I am getting the rig to fail at 8lbs when the flurocarbon lets go. If you struggle to tie FG knots using one technique, try another until you find one that works for you. There is no shortage of KZbin how to clips to learn the various methods. It is well worth putting in the time to perfect the knot in the comfort of your own home, and once competent, you can even tie it in a pitching kayak pretty quickly.

Always nice to learn something new, however, if your current knot is reliable for you switching to something different just might not be worth it. The learning curve on getting a reliable FG knot is pretty steep and it's one of those knot that if it isn't tied right, will just fall apart. Once you've got it right, it's stronger than the line, but you can't get it wrong.

Enjoyed the video, and it’s a great addition to the other knot and line strength videos you’ve done. I have used all three of these knots in the past, but I’ve been using the Alberto exclusively for about the last year and will continue to do so, here’s why. It’s way stronger than the double uni, and way easier to tie than the FG knot. I don’t see the alberto knot breaking at a lower percentage of line strength than the FG knot as a big problem and here’s why. All the Alberto knots broke north of 90%. In your fluoro to bait knot test, your own data showed that the best of the seven knots tested got just over 88%. It would seem that’s the weak link. That’s just my take on it. Keep up the great content.

Also, what people need to realize aplication matters, diaamitar, and the situation you are tieing in. If you are on a boat needing to tie fast in a pinch. What is easy for you. If you using 50 lb braid to 60lb mono like I do for deep see, you not tieing that by hand easy. I can but that x8 braid will cut your hand up. I tie P.E. for that to junk big baits for bigger fish., jigging, and any heavy application. On my light rig, I will use Alberto knots, or FG they don't very much in streng in real world application.

True that... sure more of a pain in the butt... but the confidence when you have to pull hard on a fish with light line is just next level. I prefer the PR knot when I have time to work with the bobbin... but the FG is failsafe...
@DxWhoopingCrane9 ай бұрын
You fail to mention the primary advantage of the FG(particularly for bass fishing and lighter tackle fishing), its insanely thin. No weakening/abrasion of the knot, no damaging guides, and farther and better casts. Its almost impossible to do a good short range pinpoint cast with a light lure if you arent using an FG as your leader connection. Its also alot easier to tie than you think if you use the tensioned method, once you get it down its just wrapping the line around then a few half hitches.

Your results are exactly what I thought they would be. I use the Alberto for most all of my bass fishing when tying similar line diameters together and I have had pretty much zero knot failures.

I love the alberto but with my experience it tend to slip off maybe because I dudn't overlap the line properly when tying or not tighting it properly but sometime just by tighting it the fluro carbon snap. Also, maybe it knot come undone or maybe it's the coating on the line, I don't know. sometime just by casting my whole leader slip through and I lost everything ( when finishing retie fresh knot, hooks, and bait). I was using a 20 lb reaction tackle high performance fishing gear to Seaguar BASIX 20lb Fluorocarbon I used the alberto knot on J-braid to the Seaguar too and it slip sometime too so I am done with the alberto knot and use the double uni knot or the gt knot love the fg knot but I cant tie that knot out in the water

I'd be interested in an expanded test or even do some where other people tie the knots. I would also be curious to see a longer line test to imitate more of a real life situation where there is usually more line out.

I use the German knotless wire connector called "verbindung knotless" for braid to fluoro, reports says that is 90% strong with the advantage of not need to tie a knot, only disadvantage is that the wire cannot go in most the guides. Regarding your experiment, the key to FG knot is the user expertise on tying the knot, which requires sometime. The other thing on FG is that it only works on diameters where fluoro or mono are bigger than the braid, in my experience. Nonetheless great video!

I use the uni to uni with great success, I very the number of wraps depending on the line. I almost always use a 10# braid main line and very the leader strength between 6# to 20# so the leader wraps very from 6 to 3 because thicker line needs less wraps. I'm interested to see if that makes the difference I think it does, and if it matters. Test the uni to uni but include the connecting knots to the lure. I usually use a nonslip loop knot, unit knot, clench knot, palamar, ect and it always breaks at one of those instead of the leader knot, so I haven't bothered to learn another connecting knot.

Great test and well orchestrated. Some questions 1. Since the FG knot did not break, do you think you should just say it's greater than 100% and leave it at that? The reported values are only telling you about the break strength of 20lb floro. 2. Is knot strength or knot reliability the bigger issue? Perhaps knots failing and line's breaking is the problem on the water. If the double-uni consistently gives 15lbs of break strength and does not fail, it might be a good choice since it is almost certainly stronger than the drag and the leader if it has any nicks. 3. I use FG knots, which are amazingly strong but occasionally fail. Should I switch to double-uni which is never amazingly strong but almost never fails?

I liked the video been watching more of them. I'm wondering what knot you use for 8# or less leader line

You have to add the GT knot on the mix. Great video!

I have seen tests where the FG was not tied properly and broke in the middle of the pack. You have clearly tied those FGs properly! Awesome.

Wow thanks Tyler!!! like many, I have always known how good the FG not is, but was it worth the extra time to tie it? I think you have answered that. If anything, I need to try the Alberto, because it’s stronger than the Uni to Uni not, and that’s what I’ve always used. I’m in that 47% group. Lol.
