Easily tie a tight FG Knot that won't come undone

[@jeffreyshepherd8680]

Thanks Ryan..... just re did all my F G knots y day... feeling a lot more confident with your tying method and knowing they won't let go plus doing them in a lot quicker time...cheers Jeff.

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Fantastic! Glad I could help!

🤜💥🤛 Nailed Ryan, I've struggled with this knot to the point of stuff it i'm not bothering. Thanks, It's the first time i've been able to tie it Cheers Stevo

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Awesome to hear that mate! Glad, I could help!

Thanks for all the little tips like snugging while doing the 20 wraps.

[@peterwright2692]

Gotta tie 10lb braid to 12lb leader, I'm 69 years old ( so I can't see so good and my fingers are all thumbs), see how I go, you made it look easy

[@paulclarke6151]

Thanks Ryan!

[@vinfish4697]

im sure you were skeptical when that knot first came out mand eaning how can it be stronger than the ABSpeacial but after 50 or more practice knots the FG really turned out to be the strongest leader knot and smoothest THX for sharing

[@toddmillar4041]

I've watched many videos on tying this knot, still haven't nailed it consistently, I like your method of rod holder and standing on the leader spool, will use next time (might even give it a go today) but I prefer the reverse rissuto (that's not the correct spelling) for finishing the not off instead of all the half hitches

[@tuiflies5869]

Same. I’ve always done the 3 half hitches around the leader and braid. I pull hard as I can after the first hitch to lock it in. Then the Rizzuto finish around both leader and braid as well. Then you don’t have the leader end coming off at an angle.

This video made it soo much easier

[@krisdavies8548]

Thanks for this, works a treat wont go back to the old knot

[@camwhite5931]

Hi Ryan...tried your version today and it works a treat..you can definitely get it tighter using this method...cheers mate

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Thanks Cam, glad it helped, cheers

1:56 is where the action starts...

[@rustypumpkins2193]

I had my fg fail against a good fish on the weekend. I used a few choice words. Will follow your technique with plenty of practice for sure

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

If you are not using a jigging rod with small guides you can use the tried and proven bimini + albright. Ryan has caught over two thousand huge metre plus barramundi and can tie both in under one minute. www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/wind-on-leader-system/

[@janrootham]

try this: just before snipping the mono pull on the main line and the mono leader really hard (use gloves), this allows the braid to sink into the mono enough so that it will not slip, it also gives you that confidence that it will not slip when fishing.

[@farmerjoe6908]

I find FC lines over 50lb become an issue with the FG knot. I have returned to mono leaders and it binds much better and casts with no slap. I use the PR knot for any GT popping rods they have large guides and its the strongest knot you can use.

[@brightguideservice8281]

he never cinched the wraps down after the first half hitch most important part so it bites the floro

[@Bedepark]

Nice! And tight!

[@jasonking3096]

i like and trust the rizzuto finish much better

[@khristopherbourque7345]

What type of boat do you have?

khristopher bourque the one in the background is a cairns custom craft 5.6. We have a blog with a walk around of the boat at our website www.ryanmoodyfishing.com/blog

[@blokefromthebush]

Has Ryan tried the pr knot before?

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

No mate. Sorry can't help with that one.

[@clintyoung9902]

Bottom line, if you do it tight, but it’s not nice, you’ve screwed it up.

[@anthonymedlin5470]

I’m looking for something easy not freaking hard

look up the blood knot. then move on to the uni knot then the FG

[@thomasklugh4345]

You take too long to get into it

[@RyanMoodyFishing]

Thanks for the feedback on our free video. Perhaps you could make one and show us how you’d like it?
