[@CoastfishTV]

Here's another awesome knot kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6KthZ6op81oppo

[@nathanholtzhower8603]

Learned the FG knot 2 years ago. Always had tie this knot at home and never on the water. I'm from the US and every video I've seen just didn't make it simple. You nailed it! This has changed my method completely! Just wanted to say hell of a good video!

[@CoastfishTV]

Thanks mate. Really appreciate it. Hope all is well on the fishing front in the U.S. Some magnificent giant Grouper over your way!

[@costecamille9095]

I am born handicapped from my hands and I have tried so many ways to achieve this knot, it because of you I have made it and I am so happy ! Thanks you saved me

[@Mark--Todd]

Having tried many times to tie the FG and pretty much given up on it being a long winded faff of a knot, I think i could now be a convert. I've tied it 3 times this way now and already I'm down to a sensible time frame. So many thanks for sharing.

[@Gum05]

I’ve watched about 20 FG knot videos and this one is the best! Thanks!!!

[@thebeerhunter817]

Your calmness and ability to teach is beyond amazing

[@jimbilbrey298]

I've been using the FG knot for about a year. It truly is a winner. I like the way you tie it. I like the triangle method you use I believe it's quicker I'm going to give it a go. spot on with the FG.

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Jimmy ;)

[@jimbou4279]

I have broken hooks to snags with that exact same FG Knot showed by Andy here. The result of his technique is the slimmest, strongest knot there is, I highly recommend anyone to learn it.

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Jim

[@warrickbennett2194]

I've looked around for an easy FG knot and you have nailed it. I need some practice, but doesn't look like much needed. Thank you.

[@CoastfishTV]

Practice at home Warrick. You'll know when you've nailed it. Really pull the lines tight to make sure that braid bites into the mono or fluorocarbon line.

[@caveman4908]

*Very very slowly standing up giving a standing ovation applause*👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Absolutely well presented, easy to follow. Well done buddy 👍🏽

[@CoastfishTV]

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

[@jarrodg8790]

Thanks for sharing. This knot has revolutionised my fishing with braid to mono. I gladly share this video's with my friends who want to learn how to tie FG knots.

[@civilized5734]

one thing to make this knot much stronger is once you do the first half hitch pull the lines really tight and lock it in and then finish off with the rest of the hitches, etc...without this the knot isnt as secure

[@browndog4299]

Exactly…the most important bit.

[@tsa1984]

For me one of the best videos I've seen about how to tie a FG knot, congratulations.

[@CoastfishTV]

Many thanks Toni :) I do my best. Andy

[@torsperring7706]

Probably the best how to I have ever watched

[@iburry]

I've caught marlin from anchor on the FG knot. It's the only knot I'll use for mono/fluoro to braid. This looks like an easier way to tie it than the way I learned

[@roach2566]

Thats not a knot..THIS is a knot

[@darkstar-singularity]

I like what you did there Crocodile Dundee.

[@DanielCosta-kt9bw]

Great video mate..!! I've tried doing this knot with other tutorials in the past and I'd failed, ur video it's so easy to follow and straight to the technique got it first time after watching ya.. 👌👌

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Daniel. Glad you got it. Took me several goes myself. You're a natural ;)

[@user-xe1ol7xh4i]

Holy shit this is hands down the easiest way to tie the FG I do a crazy amount of Barra fishing here in the Top End and this knot has never once failed me ever.

[@brianlawrence9493]

By far the best and easiest video to follow on this type of knot. Thank you!

[@CoastfishTV]

My pleasure Brian ;)

[@nirmalable1]

Sir your technique was awesome, hope you might be the teacher for many youtubers 🙂👌

[@CoastfishTV]

Thank you sir

[@CamBill_ROBLOX]

Good instructions easy to follow, I've just been learning this not over last week as I'm laid up on the couch and unable to do much else at the moment

[@eyyupkavalci]

The best and strongest knot ever..Great work sir..this is really the easiest way to tie the FG knot. thanks a lot..greetings from North Cyprus

[@mohamedelalfy9506]

Very nice mate , beside the easy way you demonstrated this knot , your video is also showing the importance of presentation skills :) , I have lost couple of giant Tuna's last week in central Queensland , bought a bigger gear and going for another fight this week end , was researching hard for a trusted and easy knot as my main line is mixed between braid and mono , had a concern with the knot size and friction with the Rod's guides , your way doing FG looks awesome , it ticks all boxes and will give it a go

[@CoastfishTV]

Thanks mate. Appreciate your kind words. Hope you can hang onto those beasts next time ;)

[@Stu-ky5ut]

This is one of the best examples , how to ever. Love your work Andy

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Stu, really appreciated ;)

[@petronics2454]

The best demo of the FG knot I have seen - thanks so much!

[@CoastfishTV]

Pleasure mate

[@abduldenn6049]

Honestly best fj knot tutorial I have watched cheers mate.

[@billymarkwell1105]

Thanks for the video.....thinking about giving this knot a try.......I've watched about a dozen youtube videos on how to tie this knot and as usual, a lot of the videos contradict each other..... some say 20 wraps some say 23 wraps some say 2 half hitches some say 9.....some say you must have tension some say it can be done without any tension on the main line......the last thing I want to do is lose a nice fish because I tied the know incorrectly......and of course all the videos say that their method is the best way to do it......I guess I'll just have to tie it a dozen different ways and do my own testing.......thanks again for your video...

[@CoastfishTV]

20 wraps then pull under tension until the mono or fluoro changes colour on the braid

[@Nemanjaaa90]

Stumbled upon this vid at random and had to do it with 2 different ropes. Damn its tight.... Great guide dude,did it in 1st try

[@CoastfishTV]

Legendary effort mate. Well done!

[@UdaykumarPR]

Best way, to tie d, Best FG (FineGrip) knot by d Best Guy in Business... Seriously 😍😊❤️

[@CoastfishTV]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@otiswinkerbean]

I will be back to this video soon to try following your lead - very well done - thank you.

[@andrewmorke]

I thought you had a roo loose in the paddock until I tried it myself. Works with practice. Thanks, heaps.

[@ericguerrero7352]

Thanks from Alaska! Going to use this knot next spring!!!! Great video!

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Eric. Tight lines mate!

[@memelsify]

By far the best technique and video showing how to tie this knot. Thank you!

[@fishingwithharrie]

before the fg knot I used a double uni knot. After about 15 to 20 casts through the eyes of the rod the knot parted. If have cast over 100 casts with the fg knot with no problem. Love the way you tie it. Will give it go.

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Nico. Always test the knot strength while practicing the FG until you are confident it grips hard. ;)

[@fishingwithharrie]

got it down after a couple of tries. With a bit of practice im sure your way will be faster than the way I was doing it.

[@zedjzara678]

I've been fishing a few times only through the years, but I have taken a serious interest recently and been out a few times so far with more trips on the way these handy tips are essential knowledge from these anglers thank you for the share. cool and easy to follow video thanks.

[@Kaleb.D.Watts97]

Finally found a knot that works for me. Thanks for the vid. I will be using this knot on all me rods.

[@williamalicea749]

I've learned a different way to do an fg knot, but now i wanna try this method which i reckon might actually be stronger than my version. Can't wait thanks mate!

[@rossisbonsaiandavocados5785]

I found this the fastes and easiest way to tie the FG after seeing this vid a year ago i still do it this way! Cheers

[@CoastfishTV]

Good on ya mate. I still use this way too 👍

[@kiddarkness5367]

great explaination and your method is much easier than most fg knots tutorials. tried it and it works! thanks :)

[@sytshn3457]

It is very simple way to tie FG knot and the video is very clear to see how to do it. Thanks a lot for your sharing this video and your presentation.. Greetings from Istanbul...

[@JufriKTL]

FG knot mantap brother..🤝🔔👍🏼

[@CoastfishTV]

🤝

[@jimjaml]

Great video mate, I’ve watched a few over the years to jog my memory on tying this knot. One I forget as I don’t tie it very often. Think this is the easiest way to tie the knot and we’ll presented. It’s a knot that takes a little practice to get it spot on. Saved in my saved to watch later so I can find it again.

[@CoastfishTV]

Awesome Jim

[@yenfishingvlog6744]

Learned from this video, help alot with my fishing...thx mate! This knot never let me down!

[@ailenepatriciatreadaway6408]

Great tutorial Andy = you are the best!

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Ailene ;)

[@tonyvaa5539]

Someone get this legend a beer! Great tutorial bud !!

[@motownman52]

this seems like one of the easiest ways to tie the knot that I've seen

[@CoastfishTV]

Thanks mate, yeah i've checked out a lot of knot vids and made sure I created the easiest tutorial on the FG on KZbin.

[@alexsutherland1157]

Easily the easiest way I've seen too.

[@juliangraziani7299]

Thats basically the way I do them. Ive done over 100 (I haven't counted). Done them on the boat, on the cliffs, reefs and in the office. Ive taught plenty of people how to do it this way too. Some can't get it right though.

[@sjadams8941]

Are you having a laugh? I was lost when brought his foot into it.

[@fishingthedream680]

Mate you are a legend been having so much trouble with trying to find a video with clear instructions, this video is by far the best keep up the good work 👍

[@rohit3597]

It was perfect ....I was trying it from morning .....saw many videos but ds was the best one ...can't wait to see ry out the knot... Can u tell me what line were u using as a leader .. and the thickness as well

[@CoastfishTV]

I was using 80lb line to demonstrate this knot.

[@nicholaswirth1011]

This was the 5th video I watch to try this knot. Also got it first go. Made it difficult as I was using such light braid and leader. Cheers for the easy one mate 👌🤙

[@richardhelim2142]

Very nice idol for making fg knot thanks for sharing

[@badass19671]

[@sumbafg4796]

saya suka vidio ini. subscribe, tentu saja. so easy to follow... salam dari Sumba, NTT - Indonesia

[@deanross9805]

[@JESMotorsportsMechanical]

Awsome How too video mate. Thankyou for taking the time to show us, previously I’d watched 4/5 how to’s from different blokes and not grasped it properly. Thank you it all makes complete sence now

[@kiwisurfer71]

cheers for the concise and easy to follow demo! Tight lines!

[@CoastfishTV]

Cheers Kiwi

[@cochinaable]

Great video. Clearly presented and easily understood. Thanks.

[@CoastfishTV]

Thank you

[@MrXstation]

This is the best video about FG knot that I can understand. You're my teacher!

[@CoastfishTV]

Much appreciated MrX ;)

[@drewdrewski6278]

Mate.... Great demo...simplifies the whole operation! Just earnt yourself a subscriber. Tight lines to ya!

[@rider660r]

I been using the FG for some time now,this looks like the easiest way to tie it. It works on the same principle as finger cuffs or cable becky's for jigging out fiber and coax,the harder you pull the tighter it gets.

[@redsoxwinagain2007]

Only addition I would suggest is to use some heat to mushroom the end of the mono leader. Wet the line and pinch as you do it to not affect the braid. The mushroom is to remove any sharp edge that may exist and prevent from cutting the braid.

[@ChrisPowellFishingTV]

Good video. I like tip about locking it I been using this knot on smaller braid and I Reel it through micro guides and it absolutely beats the crap out of the knot. Hopefully this will help it! Thanks!

[@sandwich.520]

ChrisPowellFishingTV did it help?

[@stevemcclendon4262]

How to restring a reel

[@bodhipannenburgfishing5532]

After you lock the knot off cut the leader tag then lock off again just on the braid which will then cover where you cut the leader tag, it will be a lot smoother back through the guides

[@seymourlebowitz7802]

Excellent video. You made it look very simple.....Thanking you, Sy

[@kushairiroslei]

Sorry i came back here to give a like. Nothing better than this one...😉

[@GreenIris1110]

[@patrickmounier3332]

[@CoastfishTV]

Love to catch a monster Kob in S.A. Great fish!

[@lekaozinho]

Thank you for the explanation, know I can do as well, I couldn't do it before because no one could explain that clear and made look this easy

[@mikegeer5185]

Great instruction for the FG knot brother!! Thank you - tight lines.

[@rich4738]

Cracking video mate!

[@bettywhiti2025]

deffinltly like the way you helt the braid with your hand instead of putting in your mouth ..thanks for the tip

[@burk5250]

thanks man I watched multiple vids but your made me learn it

[@CoastfishTV]

It can be frustrating trying to find simplistic tutorials on knot tying so I kept that in mind while demonstrating this knot. ;)

[@bobkresna]

Excellent, 👍 that was help full, easy to follow👌

[@justroni998]

[@CoastfishTV]

Greetings Roni!

[@wellchong6193]

[@SaltyRobsfishing]

Greetings from Florida. Great video keep it up!

[@CoastfishTV]

Gold Coast Australia is a very similar place to the beautiful Florida! Share my channel with all your American friends. Cheers mate ;)

[@mitchellcumming7098]

you just made my fishing life allot easier

[@CoastfishTV]

Glad to be of help ;)

[@paulpanciarello7554]

your knot work was very nice to watch. I've never tied the fg I've always used the modified Albright for this application. have to say the fg looks way more complicated to tie so I guess my question would be, is the juice worth the squeeze with the fg ? How does its strength compare to the mod. Albright? thanks

[@CoastfishTV]

In my view it is worth the squeeze Paul. I say that from personal experience and I have fished alongside some of the best fishos around that rely on this knot to land those really ball busting fish. I can tie this knot in less than 2 minutes so with practice you'll knock down the tie time. Cheers

[@BRG13DEAN]

Awesome video, I feel much more confident trying this knot now. I have a question though. I am wanting to spool one of my rod and reels for small shark fishing, not targeting anything over 10 foot definitely. Thinking of 65 lb braid or maybe even 80 lb braid for the majority of the reel with a mono top shot. What would be a good mono to tie to it and is this knot, if tied properly, good to use for this setup?

[@alexrodley3534]

the fg is good for bronzies and if you are using 80lb braid you would probably want 100lb mono or flurocarbon but if you are running 65lb you would want 70 or 80lb mono

[@teamfatflathead7581]

This is awesome, thanks mate, this was really helpful! Ive used it many times now and its perfect!

[@CoastfishTV]

Great stuff mate. Hope you catch a monster lizard!

[@vincentYin]

Fantastic video!

[@fatfreddymaorihuntergather2530]

Thanks mate good instruction video.

[@turkeytx]

excellent video and yes I will try that knot!! thanks

[@luckylyn5717]

Great to see, Looks like a great knot to tie. A friend is wanting to tie braid to braid, apparently it's not recommended?

[@CoastfishTV]

Hi Lyn. You are spot on. tying braid to braid will reduce your knot strength dramatically! I wouldn't do it under any circumstances.

[@luckylyn5717]

Thanks for the fast response. Okay, I shall let him know it's not recommended. Thanks again for your informative vid.
