Best fg knot vid yet, many thanks.

[@ryanschembri4139]

the "beginner" is a better fg than the "professional"

[@imranibnismail]

yep, less snags

[@nikolayd.3399]

For me second is better because u make adotional “grabbing” points when you make those nodes. But last few nods after he cut floro are maybe unnecessary. Great vid btw

[@ridinskullcandy]

@@nikolayd.3399 what nods? did you mean knots?

[@ronnieA251]

Very very nice video of such a great knot! The quickest way I do it is to do only two half hitches after doing the wraps (20 half wraps) and then pull the braid and mainline to dig into the mono. After clipping the mono leader as close as possible, I add more half hitches (at least 4) to help the mainline glide over the rod tip/eye if you ever have to or inadvertently reel the knot past the tip. Also when at home doing these, I use a bit of "bow string wax" on the knot to make the braid even smother, and you don't have to use a lighter/flame for either mainline or leader. The wax helps the braid not fray.

[@Fire_Asian24]

Love the 2nd method! Thanks for the great vid. Dallas, TX

[@user-jg8do3rp6c]

I have used the second method for more than 10 years and it is very reliable. One small difference is that I cut the carbon leader first and then tighten it, so that the end of the carbon leader can be completely wrapped by the PE line and not exposed, the purpose is to make the line wheeling in more smooth.

[@PhillipG-cj1lh]

Very interesting, which part of the knot sticks out over the end of the fluocarbon leader, the rizutto finish? I thought that would make the knot become loose.

[@davidyang577]

​@Phillip G pull tight the braid and leader first before starting the half hitch 5 times. Snip of the excess mono and make reverse 4 loop uni that will form into a hat that will cover the open end making the whole thing looking like one complete piece rather the main braid looking like it's dangling from the side. This will also take alot less time than what's shown on this video with all that unnecessary half hitches. The strength comes from the initial binding pulled into the mono with just one half hitch, and that is the science behind the knot, the 5 hitch I use after the knots been binded its just a running protection for the reverse uni to laid over so it forma a smooth hat for it to glide through the guides like a one piece line. The way this video has done will still get caught on small rod guides as he hasn't close up the knot with a reverse uni.

Knot one is PRO, going easy trough the guides and best yet after 10 years of doing FG.

[@DIVA-MC-7]

I always use fg1, the samll cone at the tip makes for better casting and really protects the main line.

[@TexasPapa13]

This!

Eu sempre faço como no primeiro exemplo. Fica muito bom. Valeu pelo vídeo!

[@Big88Country]

AWESOME JOB! Personally I think this is the best knot for tying a leader to braid! Hasn't failed me yet when done properly! I use this for catching big reds and speckled trout.

[@BraidToleaderfishing]

that's right sir. These ties are very popular among anglers

[@ulinbray1355]

Fg knot 2 paling kuat 👍

[@BraidToleaderfishing]

True sir 😁

[@seancraven2361]

I'm not reading all the comments so maybe a repeat, both are the same strength because it's the initial wraps the make the knot. No1 all day for me, it's easier and just works! Never fails. The only improvement would be to try it to a tapered leader end, I've tried but it mostly slip during tightening. Done both methods heaps of and it's Not is the go. I use the Australian method for the wraps. Also always where a decent pair of gloves when bedding this knot, when it changes color is when it's tight, this allows you to also know how many wraps are in excess of what is required which is different for the braid and leader combinations that you use, any more than two un bedded wraps and your going to far. Good luck, learn it the Australian way and finish it however you want.

[@rdmanone]

Love your knott tying skills. Great job 👍

[@Pontus.B]

Two ways, but which is the preferred method and why? Personally I think the first knot looks slimmer and just as strong, plus it is less time consuming. Would be good to complement this with a drag test of the two knots, and perhaps some description (words) for beginners to really understand each step. I've used the FG knot for some time now and like it, however standing out on open water in a boat that moves all over, well then it takes its man (or woman) otherwise the result will be that you soon feed the fish 🐟

[@johnking9519]

Very good clear camera work… i like the uni knott it seems better than half hitches it won’t work loose 😃😃👍👍

[@anhl5091]

really nice close up camera work. I do the 2nd one but want to practice the 1st finishing knot to lock in the FG.

[@kenward8410]

no one has shown this better and I've seen them all-well done!

[@webmoss]

I would go with FG2 but close the knot with FG1 after alternating the half hitches on FG2. So a combination of the two. 😊

[@DC2GR]

The small profile of the beginner knot is appealing..

[@TexasPapa13]

It’s also the better knot

[@TexasPapa13]

The thinner the fg the better.

[@1kingkongkory]

Great video, well filmed and shown

[@lebheart9025]

i`v been using the 2nd method for years now and never failed me, however i do it a bit different, when you finish braiding the first step and you do the 1st half hitch dont tighten it hard before you pull from both end and allow the braid to engrave into the leader the you pull the knot and continue half hitches, also the last step after you cut the leader i personally prefer to do the fisrt couple of half hitches wrapped around the leader tip as well then around the braid this will allow smoother passing through the guides and much stronger lock.

[@angler-DM]

That's a good video.

[@ykwit637]

That's all fine and dandy on a 20lb mono leader... let's see it on 10lb flouro!

[@fmc2010sv650]

Nice Video.. And nice music.. "HERBEI OH IHR GLÄUBIGEN" Merry Christmas..

[@NoodlesR6]

Thanks for the nice demonstration. I appreciate the camera being in focus. Personally I don't believe in burning the braid tag end, I'm afraid a little heat gets to the braid main line and causes a weak spot. I've found the tag end frays and becomes quite soft and can go through the rod guides smoothly.

[@gavingi5875]

i'm just a gumby with the lighter 50% of the time : )

[@ascant2011]

Concordo. Também não queimo o multifilamento.

[@zaenalabidin633]

Ok sip mudah difahami 👍

[@jrcampos1952]

65lbs and above is usually the diameter braid needed to prevent it from cutting or severely damaging it self in the event of a backlash, while casting heavy lures like swimbaits or surface iron's with a conventional reel. When you can successfully get 65lbs braid to bight into 20lbs fluorocarbon without failure or slipping, Only Then you have mastered the FG knot.

[@armandotorres2283]

For casting I highly recommend using the saltywater tackle twisty leader

[@srmancing]

Good job😊😊😊

[@ryand8461]

Rizzuto comes undone during casting when using heavier line PE 8 170lb mono for example. So we usually do just 8 or so half hitches on the tag end, then follow up with 4~5 half hitches on the braid.

[@NikkaPleeease]

Well tied, Father!! See you next Sunday… 🪢🙇🏻‍♂️

[@nilsonferreira601]

Boa noite tdo bem gostei muito gostaria de saber essa linha de tom alaranjado e multifilamento , e qual a espessura dessa linha a outra e monofilamento e a qual a espessura dela .

[@horstelvis83]

Lol! Ever made breaking tests with the FG? 25 - 30 wraps, 2 half hitches and 1 uniknot with 3 wraps - result: the knot never breaks within the knot. The shown knots are nice, for me nothing more than not using my time effectively for fishing but knotting...

[@cespaia]

Nice one

I have found that the triangle created with the braid is easiest to make a great knot. By keeping it smaller, so you can use your fingers on the triangle hand also. The wider the triangle the further your fingers are apart.

[@mattmccluskey2213]

Thats the first knot i taught my 3 year old sisters puppy

[@BraidToleaderfishing]

👋👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@jim9oi562]

Thank you

[@lornehargis2614]

Version 2 was better but the half hitches did not cover the tag end. That is what the hitches are for so that the tag doesn't catch in the guides. Take a little more time and you've got it nailed. Careful using a lighter to burn the braid....if the flame hits the other wraps the knot can fail. Otherwise good video. I like the finger triangle work and will practice that. Thank you.

[@Angler-Madura]

Sangat bagus sekali

[@BaoGia-jz9be]

Vedy good

[@marklamberton541]

You need those half hitches to cover all the mono. That will get caught up when casting and winding in.

[@TheBeagledogxxx]

And as far as it taking a long time, anyone with a brain realizes you're going slow for instructional purposes. Again, nice job

[@BraidToleaderfishing]

Thanks for the view

[@vincentgelles3805]

I’ll stick to uni to uni and the Alberto knot. That’s just too much hassle for a leader connection knot and would be impossible to tie out on the water with the wind ripping if you happen to break off or your leader gets too short and you have to re-tie. I’ll just deal with my knot hitting the guides. Doesn’t bother me that much and the knots hold up well. Anytime I get snagged and have to break off, my knot comes back intact. Usually the 8 pound fluoro breaks just past my knot but the knot is still there.

[@carloneal9048]

I’m not a fan of the double uni for braid to leader. I find the braid cuts the leader on lighter leaders. FG is the best but I don’t tie it on the water, I tie it the night before with 12’ leaders and rarely need to tie a new leader. I go for a blood knot on the water bc it’s fast and I can tie it blindfolded.

[@TheActiveLifeLived]

@@carloneal9048 yes, the OP probably doesn't fish for lunkers over 20kgs...

[@coastalcustomlure]

8 or 12 strand braid completely eliminates this massively complex knot that would be impossible to tie with cold wet hands. Insert mono into holo core braid and be done. Whip it if you want to. Chinese finger cuffs for the win.

[@rayzar6720]

Nice video but i got lost on FG1 where he finishes it off. He does 6 loops around the braid and mono then does another 6 in reverse. It looks like hes unwinding the first 6 wraps then tightens it up. 😢

[@trg3761]

Looks easy but to date I have not been able to complete one successfully.

[@valyvaly3592]

El mejor nudo sin dudas ,lo uso de hace 15 años y no falla,pero al primero se te olvidó a quemar el flurocarbono .....si no lo haces con los tiros va cortar el trenzado...... saludos

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Never had that problem.

[@Fjb.trumpwon]

I use 2 half hitches never has the fg knot broke always the flourocarbon snaps before the knot

[@Dfredlix]

so far i had no problems with the simple FG1🙂

[@dipayotito6998]

Lebih kuat yg pertama atau kedua om?

[@BraidToleaderfishing]

Ke 2

[@electro-acupuncture]

FG 2 version takes to long to tie when the fish are biting in my opinion. I think 12-15 wraps is all that is needed. Otherwise not all wraps cinch down and the knot is too long and cumbersome over the guides. 4 half hitches is all it takes max after the wraps, plus a rossuto finish.

[@280Ackley]

4 half hitches in reverse order after 22 wraps and done. 8 ft sharks can't break the knot. When you get braid on braid like the second one, it will cut through itself.

[@ctsod641]

Alberto knot is faster to tie and is harder to screw up! 😂😂

[@omehk]

first knot is better

[@diplogic]

..or save time and use a swivel.

[@dravious]

Imagine doing your best trying this knot and then throwing in a tree of the first cast 😂

[@zaitonyahya4768]

4 parts to be glued should be clean and dry

[@MrGruver1]

Trying either of these methods with #15 lb braid and #8 fluoro isn’t feasible. An improved Albright is much more effective

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Being unco, I need to slow down the video and practice the hand movements.

[@FishNFoolLures]

Both were tied poorly and both left the tag of the leader too long. Tied this way they would both get hung up in the guides

[@Tide12NC]

But if the GT knot has proven to be stronger, why do many anglers continue with the FG that’s also harder to tie?

[@dcgo44r]

FG all the way! GT only in deluded tests! 😉

[@JS-oy6nn]

I guess I tie FG #3?

[@markrigg6623]

Professional?

[@melf6084]

try to do this on a boat in the water lol

[@dcgo44r]

It takes practice and willing to do it! But yeah it is a pain when you are learning specially in a boat when is windy.

[@TheFireWitch]

This knot is not that difficult: put tension on the braid, make the FG wraps with the mono, secure with half-hitch, tighten and finish. These gyrations in the video are ridiculous. Maybe they would help if you had no rod holder or other way to tension the line, but all the finger weaving isn’t needed otherwise…

[@dtoux]

These are pretty videos… but when you are on the water - you want to spend as little time tying the knot as possible… the main holding power of FG knot is in those initial 12-16 wraps… the rest is just to hold the wraps from unfolding… there are at least two things wrong with your technique - too much fiddling after the main portion of the knot is completed and burning the tag end…

[@danielwolbrecht9564]

Way over kill on the second knot. Biggest problem with FG knot is improper cinching due to lack of lubrication or not keeping knot well organized and tight while starting.

[@2011shinzan]
