Strong Smooth Fishing Knot for Braid to Mono or Fluorocarbon Leader

Love this knot for mono to mono leader. This knot has never failed me whether yanking it against snags or pulling in fish. Even after several trips out. The thing I like most about it is the fact that it makes a nice slim not the passes through the guides very easily. Compared to other notes like the Albright or the uni knot which produce little fat slugs of a knot that don’t slide through guides as easily. The other great thing about this not his how simple it is to do out in the field with the wind blowing or other adverse conditions. Many thanks to Gene Fishing for this - it sits in my favourites so I can share it with friends!

Ive used the Double Grinner Knot for my Feederfishing for many years before coming across this one now. I need to admit quite honestly I never heard about the FG Knot before coming now across this video . And I need to say it works like a dream. I'm connecting ususally a 0.10 Feederbraid Line with a 0.33 Shockleader. And it really works alot faster and easier on the Bank when setting or resetting a Rod up than the Knots I used before. Also the Knot goes smoothly through the Guides of the Feedertips and is very strong and safe even when casting heavy Feeders out at long Distances. Thanks for sharing this mighty awesome Knot with us.

[@Sam-mu5xh]

​@@Nubenhoofer Do you think this is as good as the fg?

[@brianwatts8773]

Just figured out what I was doing wrong. As you complete the final step, pulling the mono tag end through the loop and tightening the knot, you have to make sure the braid loop doesn’t flip over the twists, to the braid end of the knot. As I found out after several attempts, that will result in instant failure. Good knot and I will be using this moving forward. Thanks for sharing

[@GeneFishingTV]

that's great to hear Brian its a bit tricky only when tightening the knot only practice makes it perfect 😊

[@kevinmccann6804]

Nice, I suck at knots, and I just bought a fairly expensive reel and rod ($465 total) and had it braided with 5 lb weighted braid and a 4 lb mono leader. The knot the guy at Bass Pro showed me was way more complicated. Looking forward to using this going forward when I need to attach another leader.

[@timothymuir5167]

Awesome knot… I have watched your video again and again until I felt comfortable that I understood the steps required. I’ve watched several videos using the same concept involved here, it’s very similar to the “Surgeon’s Knot” and others…where the idea is to distribute the stress on the line to the wraps and away from the hook eyelet, allowing the line that is wrapped to stretch before putting stress on the line at the eyelet, a very cool idea that works. Thanks for a nicely done video. .

[@billsikes4007]

Amazingly simple to tie and I'm curious as to knot strength? The only issue I have with this is if you plan on running it through your guides, it absolutely is "knot" a replacement for the FG. I tend to run long leaders to have the luxury of cutting back long before I have to retie but if the strength of this knot is fine and you don't have to worry about bringing it through your guides, there's virtually no reason "knot" to use this. Thank you!!!!

[@claytonkr05]

This is a slightly crude-er version of a knot called the SC knot. A true SC knot is a bit smoother with the braid making the coils on the outside of the knot. I have used both the SC and FG, and I do the same as you with long leaders so you can cut them back as you change baits. A proper SC is just as strong as the FG, but it is a pinch chunkier, so it will go through the guides better than say a uni-knot, but not as smooth as the FG. Trade off is its easier and faster to tie than the FG.

[@celwilson]

I do a version of that SC knot. Very strong. Especially good with light test line

[@billsikes4007]

@@claytonkr05 I do understand what you're saying but my next question, that nobody has answered, what is the knot strength? If it's not close than the fg than it's not even relevant. Full disclosure, doing my own tests it's 30 % less than the fg which is absolutely not acceptable. I also have not done this test with minimum variables so I could be completely off but I would love to confident in the SC like am I am with the FC. Regardless the true SC knot is here to stay and rightfully so. 5

the Yucatan knot, very easy to tie outdoors when fishing, my choice is to finish both sides with a couple of half hitches (maybe makes the knot a little bit more chunky but i'd like to think adds extra safety.

[@GeneFishingTV]

Great tip!

[@moedog5087]

@Greg Kyle If you can't tie knots, tie lots!

[@moedog5087]

@Greg Kyle it's a joke, a saying. Nothing to go for or against this knot. It's a lighthearted saying to joke with buddies in the ice house. Also, opposite of "fair weather" I'll fish in -40° and I've fished from a kayak on lake superior.

[@moedog5087]

@Greg Kyle dang. It's a joke. Not a Weiner. Don't take it so hard

[@Joseph-hi3cy]

@Greg Kyle you sound fun to fish with

Im just getting more into trout fishing, this knot held up really well and very Nice and easy to follow video

Thanks Jake

[@richardjohnson33755]

I gotta say tho. This knot looks legit. Been Tying fg and uni to uni for awhile now and this might be next

[@MrAndyd63]

Took me 15 times to get this right. It looks exactly like yours. Thank you so much.

So simple and nice knot… thanks for the tutorial

by far the easiest knot ive found for this. thanks. The others work fine too but this is just so easy.

Thanks Collin ☺️

[@timignacio1450]

Like a lot of folks I was FG on nothing at all. Now I'm dying to try this knot as summer months here get hot and it's florocarbon season starting pretty much this month. I dread this time of year actually coz normally I do use leaders at all untill this time of year as bass get more sluggish picky and they downwrite become pricks unless the presentation is absolutely perfect thus the need for the florocarbon leader. So you just got subscribed my friend and this video is in my save collection

[@Reelhooked]

Nicely done, I now use this for all my inshore, lighter fluoro/braid connections. Thank you!

[@GeneFishingTV]

Thanks Reel

[@RedfishGB]

Agree, good for lighter inshore mono-braid. I’ll stick to FG for the offshore heavier stuff

[@douglaspulliam9028]

Brilliant! That’s a great and simple knot. Now to go use it.

[@GeneFishingTV]

thanks a lot

[@forestcityfishing4749]

@@GeneFishingTV this is the alberto knot except you wrapped the looped end around instead

[@Salty80556]

If you are going to double the mono, try the RP knot. smaller, faster to tie and 100% strong

[@SirPraiseSun]

why same as fg knot its a waste of time this 1 or surgeon is fastest

[@colobisman6132]

Hmmm! I think I just found a new favorite knot. I've been successfully using the Alberto knot but I sure like this one.

Thanks a lot buddy

very good composition, well done and very easy, it was perfect for everything, convincing, and very strong

[@GeneFishingTV]

Thank you buddy😊

[@willwilliams2944]

That is an extremely beautiful knot my good sir. Can it be done the opposite way around? Since braids diameter is thinner than the mono. Just curious my friend. Either way it is an extremely thin and slick knot.

[@GeneFishingTV]

Yes you can tie it opposite way buddy

[@donhershfeld9930]

Appears rather simpler TO GET RIGHT than the FG knot. Today my FG's don't fail, BUT until i set up a non-portable apparatus that insures very even tensioning throughout the 'Chinese finger trap' portion, my FG'S were great - right to second they weren't great, typically after many trip's worth of repatedly passing through the guides. What i was sometimes happening was, if the ENTIRE braid wasn't utterly seated with a complete 'color change' taking place, eventually any 'slack' at the front end was becoming redistributed, lessening is holding power. i have tied FG's in the field, that have held up even, but i have trust issues after tossing no few sinking crankbaits for a country mile (unrecoverable). i don't foresee those things ever happening with this easier-to-consistently construct alternative junction.

What the hell did you say?

[@georgewoolinghamii488]

@@russellwhite7676 LMFAO.😆😆 Yeah he really complicated that description but what I think he was tryin to say is that this is easier than the FG knot and more reliable because if he would get one loose wrap on the FG then repeated shock through the eyelets would distribute the looseness throughout the FG knot and cause failure. I THINK!

[@RedfishGB]

try the pinky tension method for FG

[@keithsr.]

I'm still going to use the fg knot. You literally can't get a narrower knot. If you watch the right video on how to tie it , it's a simple knot to tie. It's NEVER failed on me ,even when snagged on something. The knot at the hook or lure will break first . This is a nice looking knot though and a good video.

[@GeneFishingTV]

thanks buddy

[@Nubenhoofer]

I'm sorry to be THAT guy, but I'm done keeping my mouth shut when people claim the FG is the best knot WITHOUT any specifics. Yes, it is a fantastic knot when pairing a braid to a mono or fluorocarbon leader AS LONG AS the leader material is significantly thicker in diameter. If you tie the FG with equal size diameter braid and fluoro it WILL SLIP. A good combo would be 10lb fluoro to 10lb braid since 10lb braid is roughly the same diameter as 4lb fluoro. The knot functions by the braid gripping the leader, just as if you were gripping a rope with ur hand. Think about trying to climb up a gym class rope made out of parachute cord. Not happening, it would slip right through your fingers bc it's too small, not enough surface contact. You need a nice wide rope, about 2" in diameter to create the friction needed to sustain a powerful grip. Obviously that's a bit of exaggeration in terms of size relation, but the logic remains. FG knot is NOT a universal situation knot.

[@keithsr.]

@@Nubenhoofer it's ok to be that uneducated guy , if it works for you, have at it. Those that want to use the BEST knot for braid to fluorocarbon, the fg is it . Now kindly cry elsewhere, thank'ya 👌

[@TheHitman6421]

Dumb question, how come my leader keeps sliding free of the knot when I pull the main line? I am not sure what I am doing wrong

[@lupemartin8839]

Make sure you insert the leader through the loop you created with the braid before making your wraps.

[@NSRMSR1315]

Yucatan knot...for small fish it ok but weak to hold big fight againts big fish and predator fish that make a surprise shocking whrn it take a lure or bait. Fg knot is more strong for big fish and fishing situation.

[@fishingflawda]

Exactly.... Wouldn't recommend this knot for BIG GAME fish!

[@cali_cal]

good info

[@jobr641]

So this knot is called the Yucatán knot. Is it stronger than a double uni-knot? Thanks.

[@readbetweenthelines6333]

Twists are in the mono and not the braid. The braid slides out without some half hitches. It’s quick but double uni or Alberto is still superior

[@zgckdpdydhdb9194]

Double uni isn't good for your guides and Alberto isn't a good knot snaps too easy just take the extra time and tie a fg and have no issues

[@zeocen]

I use this exact knot exclusively on braid to fluro leader, it's never once failed me even on big fatties.

[@jaxbeach09]

@@zgckdpdydhdb9194 I switched from the double uni to the Albright/Alberto because the uni broke on me multiple times. I have only had the Albright fail on me because I tied it poorly. Other than that when my line breaks, it breaks below the knot. Do some research, the Albright is one of the strongest braid to leader knots out there.

[@zgckdpdydhdb9194]

@@jaxbeach09 it's not the Alberto if a 76% breaking strain of the original main line and a fg is 98% so your wrong

[@jaxbeach09]

@@zgckdpdydhdb9194 It looks like you lack reading comprehension skills. I didn’t say the Albright/Alberto was the strongest. I said the Albright/Alberto is ONE of the strongest. I prefer the Alberto because it’s the strongest between Albright and Alberto. And yes, there’s a difference between the two. The FG is much stronger but is more difficult and time consuming. I can tie an Alberto in a third of the time it takes to tie an FG. I’ve jigged up Cobia off the bottom many times with an Alberto without issue.

[@flapjackson6077]

That’s an excellent knot for tying to fluorocarbon or mono to braided. For tying braided to braided (e.g. 20-30 lb to a 50-100 lb. shock leader when surf fishing), the Albright knot with ten turns is still supreme. It’s a wee bit more bulky, but only a wee bit, and it’s strong as can be. It’s actually the second most compact knot to the one you showed here.

[@GeneFishingTV]

Thanks Jackson

[@toastandcakeyoutube4395]

Fg knot is more supreme and smallest knot out there and strongest but each to own everyone likes different knots
