FG Knot the Easy Way! Strongest Braid to Mono Knot

[@johnderyckere3994]

My all time favorite knot. Use it all the time for jigging in fresh water. Great tutorial...

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Didn’t know you could jig in fresh water.

Thanks Dan!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thank you!

[@alanwheeler]

Thanks Capt! Best way I've seen to tie the FG knot! Tight lines!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

This knot was a mystery to me for so long. Changes the game for me.

[@alanwheeler428]

@@FloridaFishingCouple yes, I've been using the technique from Salt Strong, by wrapping one tag end around pinky, but your way is better.

[@2BearsOutdoors]

This is great. Almost like an Alberto knot but I like this better. Thanks Dan.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

I used the Alberto knot for awhile but it was not as strong as this one. Most people use the Alberto because they have difficulty tying the FG. This changes all that.

[@2BearsOutdoors]

@@FloridaFishingCouple yes I agree. I'm going to attempt this. Must watch this video more than a handful of time. Thank you for sharing.

Great Tutorial Sir. The color contrast was certainly helpful too. CAPTAIN DAN, you are a true American and I certainly appreciate all you have done and continue do. Hope y'all have a blast! Micky C

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thank you very much. Really appreciate the comment and support. 👍

[@brianturck274]

Its always good to have a "go too" knot that you can tie in the dark... this is a very easy one to tie without looking at it, once you have done it a few hundred times... lol.. when it's really fun is standing waist deep in a cold river in the dark holding onto your fly rod...

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

…in the dark are you sure it’s your fly rod? 🤣

[@TheMrTopman]

Thank you.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

No, thank you! 👍

[@TimRobinson57]

Thanks captain Dan, very interesting.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thank you Tim.

[@beb32225]

Thank you!....I needed a knot like that for braid to fluorocarbon for Bass Fishing......Great video!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Best and easiest knot to tie when you know how.

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@robertgillis7633]

That is awesome thanks 👍

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thank you for the feedback - and for watching!

[@Mizzle83]

Like this way better than most of the other ways. I’ll give a sub just for that!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Now that’s awesome! Actually use this knot and tie it on a rocking boat when I have to. Love the knot, but hated the way most people tie it. Welcome to our KZbin family. Appreciate you subbing the channel.

[@sappysiggy2351]

thanks Cap

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

You bet!! Do tutorial videos like this help? Want us to incorporate more of those?

[@lesb3481]

I'm a recent subscriber, from seeing you fishing with Heiko over on SFFC. Your demonstration of the FG knot is by far the best. Thanks!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

I have been looking for a way to tie this knot quickly and easily and finally found it. Thanks for subscribing to our channel.

[@lesb3481]

​@@FloridaFishingCouple I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos over the next few days. We're in the process of moving to the Apalachicola area, so I've been watching instructional type videos for fishing in Florida waters. Thanks again!

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

Great video, Dan. Never used that knot 🪢 before. I hope I will soon. We do double uni knot 🪢 and for the sword loop on 80 lb braid we use Bimini twist. Thanks for sharing.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Julio, don’t change anything you are doing!!! You have perfected the rigging and knots for swordfishing beyond anyone I have ever seen. Please bro, DON’T CHANGE A THING!! 😀

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

Ah thanks Dan, I still have your Mako 🦈 for you 😀

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

@@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh Anytime you have some left over Swordfish I am your man!

[@soprano1n1]

I keep doing a double uni and I think imma start doing this FG knot instead. Thanks!

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

I have been doing the double uni for a long time but it kept hanging up on the rod guide. This knot slips right through.

[@soprano1n1]

That was my issue also, I just did it while I was watching the video again, you made it really easy to follow along and it came out perfect. Thanks again! Love watching your videos! Keep them coming! Tight lines and bent rods!

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

I always do line to line in on heavy trolling gear or going deep. That's a great video you did I'm going to start using that. Thank you then like always great job.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Thanks Jose!

[@christopherreilly4303]

Hey Dan. I've been using the FG for a few years now. It's a great knot. I tie it a little different than you but it's the same basic concept. I strongly suggest buying a set of line pullers to synch the knot down without cutting your hands. It allows you to pull a lot harder on the knot. It's a great tool to have if you use he FG a lot like I do.

[@FloridaFishingCouple]

Where can I get one? I could really use it because I often slice through my finger with the braid when pulling the knot tight.

[@christopherreilly4303]

@@FloridaFishingCouple JohnnyJigs sells them or you can find them on Amazon. Just search "FG GT knot puller tool"

[@Corvette_pilot]

I’ve been using the #FjB knot here lately! It’s really weak and you will lose everything using it! lol 😂 🤙🏼
