GT Knot | Actual Version | How To | Ultimate Fishing Knot Guide | 4K 120FPS

Find out "How to Tie" the GT Knot, this is the Actual Version of the Knot. Our 1st video using our New Canon R5, all the footage is 4 K and some of the knots were shot at 120 FPS, so get this on the big screen. This knot surely does have the potential to be one of the strongest Line to Line connections there is. It may not be as easy to tie as its younger sibling, the Viral Version but its really a beautiful knot and possibly one of the most technical knots an angler can tie. The strategy of using a Bimini Twist at the route of its strength really will help take this knot to the forefront. Loads of tips and tricks and observations about this knot at the end of the video.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT TOIT FISHING ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Fishing has been an integral part of my life since the age of six. From the early days of riding my BMX bike with all my kit down to our local fishing spot, to nowadays where I find myself daydreaming far too much about the next fishing trip with friends. I want to pass on to any child, teenager, or adult something that I have designed, learned, improved on or seen someone else do. This is the side I love about fishing - the learning, questioning the boundaries, maybe improving then teaching or passing on. At my core I am a fisherman, love the bite especially when it’s on, but right next to that is this desire to meet, talk and see what other fisherman are doing that is different to what I know.

This is the real GT knot!

[@nathanwish6857]

Thanks again for this, I needed the refresh. I’ve been fishing straight braid or fluorocarbon this year. The last braid to fluorocarbon leader I tied was 2 years ago. The Bimini twist held up until last year when my braid caught on a lay down and frayed. Figured it was time to go back to the GT.

[@TheRinaPurba]

the channel with an absolutely strong knot that I always waiting to watch

[@toitfishing]

Thanks James, glad you are enjoying the content Tightlines

[@pat632]

Hey there, thanks for this realy informative video! I'm gonna try this one for sure, thanks mate and greetings from Holland, Pat. 👊🏼👍🏼🇳🇱

[@toitfishing]

Hey Pat, definitely it is a fantastic knot for sure. Thanks for watching. Dankie.

[@andrewmorke]

I've tied this in reverse to use it on a reel with braided line backing and mono topshot.

Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ kinh nghiệm của mình với nhiều người

[@JoeMangiardiII]

Great tutorial! Was thinking of trying a loop to loop for tuna using bimini in braid line and a crimp in the flouro leader, especially if leader is not too long, or use all roller guides. Have you ever heard of this?

[@PeterRanieriII]

Quite different than the viral version, lol. Hope your doing well Warren

[@toitfishing]

Yes indeed, it almost resembles the FG Knot in a way. I did a video on the history and the difference between these 2 knots also worth looking at. Hope you are well. I am fine just busy with the other part of Toit Fishing at the moment (Tool design etc.) Its going well and I am enjoying it a lot. Need to do more fishing tho, these last 2 years have been bleak with all the virus stuff etc. Take care and stay in touch. Tightlines.

[@tonybr2469]

Really what a load of tripe

[@mikeh3945]

Hey, this is off topic, but your videos have me testing my own knots now, and I have a question...what do you use to cut your fishing line, specifically braid? I know you have cut a lot of it by now! Thanks for putting out quality content!

[@toitfishing]

Hi Mike, definitely not off topic. Tooling, fishing tools and anything to do with making stuff is another one of my passions….😉 Yeah braid scissors, yip I have used and tested so many now, ceramic, carbon steel stainless. Ceramic of which I have tried and tested 4 different types, tend to all fold the line rather than cut it. They tend to not grind these very sharp as edge is brittle, also more importantly they cannot grind a curvature to blade on ceramic like they do on some high quality scissors, curvature is a secret weapon in any pair of scissors. The best I have found is a larger scissors, with a serrated upper jaw and a curved lower jaw, they actually have a 3 inch blade. The problem with the little ones you get at tackle shop is the grinding is poor quality and there is never any curvature on the jaws. Remember when you cut braid it’s like cutting 100 pieces of line every time you cut it, all those filaments, hence the edge does not last. Hope that helps. Tightlines.

GT vs Slim beauty knot. Which is Strong er? braid to fluorocarbon

[@toitfishing]

Gt Knot Actual Version is definitely stronger, the knot actually fails on the Bimini twist side of the knot rather than main bulk of the knot. But again speed is important here, slim beauty wins hands down and for a knot that has a single piece of braid going into it I am not convinced many knots will trump it for speed and simplicity. Tightlines

[@Aimsport-video]

When for the FG knot?

[@toitfishing]

Hopefully soon enough.😉 that knot has really gained a lot of support from Anglers far and wide.

[@Slayerformayor1983]

Pretty intense music in that knot montage.

[@toitfishing]

Yeah it was a bit of fun. Tightlines.😉

[@Slayerformayor1983]

Can you give me a sneak peak? How strong is it?

[@davidhiggins7702]

What knot do you use as your main line to leader connection mr toit ??

[@toitfishing]

If I have time on the weekend I’ll try get #Shorts out. I am hoping to get the Bimini tested next so we have a baseline for the strength on these Bimini/Leader type knots, of which the GT Actual is the 1st. Tightlines.

[@toitfishing]

Now there’s a Million Dollar Question. To be fair I use a few depending on how I am fishing. Bristol into Bimini if I was looking for max strength. If I am live lining with a Non-Return I would use the Albright. If I am lure fishing and there is no rush or getting ready before hand I would use the FG with Rizutto. And my go to for quick connection is GT Knot Viral. However all the above I can see changing on what we have learnt in past 8 weeks, guessing it may be either Modified, or actual GT knot into Bimini and quick knot will be the Slim Beauty. Although this may even change as we uncover more knots. Tightlines.

[@iwantpeace9939]

gt knot or Fg knot?

[@andrewmorke]

With practice, the FG is my fave over the GT.
