Really Super Easy Way To Tie The FG Knot Fast

This is the simplest and fastest method for tying the FG knot, no tension on the leader or main line required. Several people have suggested I learn how to tie a mono or fluorocarbon leader to braid fishing line using an FG knot.
I've been hesitant to learn this method because the process seems complex and time consuming. The last thing I want when the fish are biting good is to waste a lot of time retying after getting broken off.
Every tutorial I watched, prior to finally finding the simplistic and quickest way, required there to be tension on one of the lines; they all appeared to be very complex too.
In my quest to find a way that was different from the norm, I discovered by far the fastest and easiest way to tie an FG knot on the planet. Where did I discover this hidden gem? On the Tackle Advisors KZbin channel found here: • Part 3 Tie the FG kno...
I promise you that this is the best method for tying this super strong fishing knot when joining your main braid fishing line to a fluorocarbon or monofilament learder.

He asked me to look it up on KZbin to learn how to do it and “Here you Are”. I have never in my life made Flurocarbon to Braid leaders before but I am going to from now on. Tomorrow I buy the 50 or 60 pound test Flurocarbon line. You made it look so simple. I’m going to save your video just in case someone else needs to learn. Thank You for the video..

I have just completed my first FG knot following your instructions. It is all too solid and confiable. And so beautiful, too!. Smart and easy method. Thank you very much.

[@Pmckh]

Good video JC, I’ve seen this method before but still personally tie with tension as it’s just something I’m used to and can knock out quickly. The main things are making sure you pull it super tight to start to change color. The multiple half hitches work well, I used to do that for a few years but started finishing with a rizutto a year or so ago just because it pulls against the FG. Also I find the biggest help is I keep a cigar torch style lighter in my gear bag. I always cut the tag just a hair long and then burn it so it mushrooms just a touch. It keeps anything from sliding over the tag of your leader. Keep your lines tight and maybe I’ll see you out here locally

I have been a fan of the Fine Grip Knot or also known as the FG knot since I was introduced to it. It is the strongest knot and the thinnest knot that will go through the guides the easiest. I caught some decent size snook on a 15 and 20 pound leader and the knot held up just fine. This video makes it A LOT easier to tie it. 4 minutes was about how long it took me to tie one that was good. I could do a half way ok knot in 2 min. BUT this video allowed me to tie the FG in about 1 min. Thank you. :)

I've been using this knot for two years or so now and is the only knot I use for the braid / fluoro connection. I use three cinch knots to secure both lines, snip the fluoro and tie six cinch knots on the braid only. Maybe a bit overdone, but have never had one fray or break. To me, the extra cinch knots make smoother knot transition to your line.

[@marcheckaman735]

Jim M only one I use for braid to mono or flouro also.

[@vash347]

Hey, here's a tip : when you have mono line or flouro that is curling and you want to straighten it out - fold the tip of your leather belt and run it through there with some pressure. You'll end up with perfectly straight line

This way of tying the fg knot is OK when using heavy line but can be difficult when using light line, the other thing is what one person finds difficult some one else will find easy and vice versa. There's a couple of kiwis that have a show called big angry fish and they have a how to video on utube that you should check out, they tie the fg the same way with a couple of tweaks, it's worth watching, they taught the guys from morning tide

[@LDeezy662]

you nailed that! appreciate the video showing how

[@brendanwoerner3352]

#1 failure with the FG is not gloving up and tightening your FG after the First half hitch of 2. The braid should change color by digging into the leader! That is why your FG most likely had failure!

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

yes correct..pull tight with gloves after first half hitch till the braid digs into the leader and then finish up with more half hitches.

[@glennchristie2316]

I just tried 4 times and all 4 attempts failed. So much for the expensive H.D. Fluorocarbon and 65 pound test braided line. This is probably not even necessary for fishing in the lily pads.

Very good video. Never tied my FG like this. I may have to learn it this way. Normally I’ll bite on the braid to create tension. 4 minutes to tie an FG is crazy. I normally tie an FG in about 60 seconds start to finish. Practice makes perfect when it comes to knot tying.

[@RadReelingFishing]

[@adamhatton7579]

[@jaysims7534]

Having tension on the main line creates a better, tighter knot. There is nothing wrong with taking a bit more time to get this knot right. It's not like you have to tie this knot several times a fishing trip. You took about six minutes to tie it by the way. If you fish with a bait casting reel with smaller eyes you'll truly appreciate having the tension on the line. You will also appreciate cutting the tag ends much closer and adding a dab of super glue, wetting your fingers and smoothing the super glue back towards your fishing poole. That allows the leader to pass through the eyes much smoother for better casting and reeling.

[@andrewmorke]

Yeah but try tying the FG on a rocking boat or while in the surf with a tight line. For me, not easy or possible. This is more practical in the field.

Crazy Alberto works fine if your tying 15 lb. mono to 30 lb braid but if you tying on a 100 lb fluoro leader to 50 lb braid for Muskies it doesn't cut it. If your leader is a much larger diameter then your braid, the FG knot is the ONLY way to go. Plus the way I tie it is fairly ez to do, even in the boat.

Ray J Clifford crazy Alberto and double uni knots are larger, and they hang on the last guide of my rod.

I agree with CSKN try and do this knot with 4lb nanofil crystal and 4 lb floro its a nightmare. Which then leaves you going with the Alberto which I have found that on the last step of the Alberto if you dont send the leaded line though the last loop a couple extra times the Alberto on its own can fail. The extra step works great. Also as I do a lot of night fishing with flash lights this knot is not an option where as the Alberto with a twist is achievable.

Good video....one tip for guys using light braid and leader material, if you can clamp off your leader on the tag end side, keeping it taut, it will help keep things tighter due to the fact that a light leader >15 lb is too floppy to get tight wraps on. Just my .02👍

Thanks for sharing Marlon. I'm getting pretty good at tying it now, very fast for sure. It's a super strong knot.

This entire video I was wondering what the advantage of this FG knot is. Double uni seems superior to me, but then again I freshwater fish with lighter tackle. Is there some advantage to this FG knot?

Finally, a video on the FG that is sensible. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing some encouraging words.

Never seen it done that way. Thanks for sharing. I still prefer the blood knot for braid to fluorocarbon or mono. Never had a failure. Goes through the eyes well and tags are in the middle of the knot. Guess it’s just the fly fisherman in me.

Thank you so much you have saved me hours that I can use fishing. I can not thank you enough for this

Awesome Jeffery, thanks for sharing.

This video is gold!!! Thanks man! The FG knot is the best knot to combine two lines without doubt! BUT! The same issue with having the line straight is terribly annoying! This version is very very helpful for me at least !!! Thanks a lot for that man!!!!

Great Video Thank you! I got it on the first try. I wish I learned this knot 10 years ago 😆. I've been using the Improved Albright inshore and the uni to uni for Tuna and other large species. Can't wait to try the FG on my next trip.
