EASY FG KNOT - The fishing knot you need to know!

Learn how to tie the FG knot in this simple video.
There is a number of different fishing knots around for connecting braided line to leader but we have found the FG Knot is one of the strongest and slimmest knots going.
The key to tying this knot is to make sure the line has some slight tension applied while you are wrapping the braid. Once you finish the crosses then you can lock the knot off with a half hitch.
I find finishing this FG with a simple three turn uni knot to be the best way, you can however alternate half hitches if you like. I have never found the need to though.
You can buy line pullers here to make it easier

Glad it was helpful!

Good vid. Been doing the FG this way for years now, watched other people stuff around with trying to keep it stupid tight the whole way through. Pretty much get the same result, if anything the knot doesn’t sinch down evenly with to much tightness.

Great video I’m not good at with the Rosito finish but I can tie a uni knot .I need help I’m looking for a top section of a Daiwa v2 Black Label Airport rod 603HFB 6-10kg baitcaster rod the rod Had a fight with my mates rod and mine came out second best.Have contact Diawa in Sydney only to be told this rod in not in production anymore I think I purchased it early 2020 from you guys when you get to 65 a 2-3 year old rod isn’t old.Anyway if you find one collecting dust some where can you let me know.Willing to pay for it

[@TackleWest]

Hi Geoff, sorry to hear about your rod. Unfortunately I think you will struggle to come across one of them

[@westhamcam2769]

Do you think the FG is worth tying on low Pe line (0.5) or stick to the double uni

[@TackleWest]

On really light lines like that I usually tie a blood knot because I have had the best success with it. I think the FG would work but might be more difficult to tie being so thin

[@juliangraziani7299]

Definately worth tying a FG. Its really fiddly but keep the knot to 7-8mm long. Ive tied it in 6lb braid 6lb mono for trout and it really is seamless.

[@eugenecassar2887]

Do you think the fg is a good casting knot? I’m not convinced or it maybe the way I’m tying

[@TackleWest]

Yes it it’s one of the best going for casting you just need to tie it right

[@eugenecassar2887]

The way you tied it in this video would that still cast alright? Or do you need to do more to the knot?
