I tied an FG knot using this tutorial today and went fishing. Got snagged three times, and had to break off the line. Each time, the FG knot held and I kept my leader (farewell, brave lures, I loved thee well). Also caught some fish. In other words, this tutorial is great. Just be careful with closing the knot - you gotta pull the last hitch knot down slowly so it closes at the FG knot and not above it.

I find that you can feel it “click” into place kinda when you do it. If I don’t feel that sensation of it sort of falling into place I stop and make sure I do it again. That and pulling the absolute living daylights out of it once it’s fully wrapped.

You're pulling too hard on your mono. Really slow down and watch the braid move into neat little stacks after each turn of the mono and you will understand it much more. I'm assuming you are wrapping the mono up because the angle you're holding the mono is bunching up the braid in weird ways. It should almost be effortless other than the tension on your pinkey.

Thanks, this knot is now integral to my life, I like a long leader, so a knot that can go thru not only the runners, also my sliding sinker is grand. The extra "half hitches" on the end after cutting the tag are the bomb ... I use a 4 loop then a 2 loop "half hitch". Basically its a ramp to slide over the closely cut tag.

Brilliant! I've been using a double uni knot for years,but now favour this knot. Mainly because i fish for wrasse in the u.k and have grown tired of pulling for a break when snagged only to loose everything each time. With the fg knot if i pull for a break the knot on my hook goes first 95 % of the time,meaning i get all of my leader back minus a few inches. Whereas with a double uni, i lose everything and just wind in a small knot at the end of my braid. I'll never go back to a double uni

After failing to tie an FG knot using 6lb braid and watching 2 other videos I was able to successfully tie an FG knot on the first try using Luke's method shown here. The tip from seatbelt6739 on keeping the leader line taut was helpful too. I later tested the new FG knot after snagging a couple jigs on the river and the line broke at the jig and the FG knot held. Caught a 20" steelhead later on the same mainline. Thanks Luke! 👍

@lornehargis2614
@lornehargis2614 4 жыл бұрын
Great video Luke, thanks. A guide friend of mine taught me similar, but he makes an overhand loop knot in the braid on to the handle of the reel to keep tension. He also alternates the half hitches one direction and then the other and finishes with the 4 turn half hitch. I have been practicing but find that a leader line slips through my fingers of my left hand. Maybe putting too much tension on the leader line? Also I find when I am done after the locking 2 half hitches, pulling down really tight is critical. That way I can trim the excess leader very very close and when you tie the half hitches there is no tiny tag popping through later. I have also found, with practice, I know how long my knot is going to be. This eliminates excess waste of fluorocarbon. I'm cutting off less than 2 inches of flouro. One more thing, I can wind on about 20' of leader line because this knot goes through the guides easily. For bottom fishing when you break off, just retie on the remaining leader and you're back in business in no time. This knot doesn't break, the leader line will. Hope this helps someone. Definitely need to practice more but this is a great method and knot. Thanks Luke.

I appreciate this video as it does make tying the FG knot easier. I do still find the FG knot more difficult to tie as the braid and fluorcarbon (leader) go down in size, and I lose confidence in accomplishing a proper knot. On my freshwater spinning outfits I'm typically running 10-15lb braid to 8lb fluorocarbon (drop shot/finesse applications). I have been using the Albright knot with great success and almost as small as the FG. I would prefer the FG, but with the smaller lines I'm having difficulty gaining confidence in my knot even practicing off the water.

Thanks for making time to leave the comment. The strength of the FG knot is determined by the coils, and the finish is all about making sure the coils just stay in place. So the Rizzuto finish certainly can help ensure that the coils don't come undone. I still stick with the basic half hitch knots because they are much easier to tie and they haven't failed me yet.

But now that I think about it. Disclaimer. This I feel seems obvious but anyway, be cautious of when you are cinching the knot down at the end, slow steady pressure, if ya yank the smaller lines or pull too hard it'll break anyway haha.

November 2024: Converted all my rods to braid/ flouro leader using this video. Ended up breaking a line due to a backlash. Luckily, I was able to fish the lure out. Got the lure back to the bank and guess what...the FG knot I tied using this video was still holding strong. Brand new 30lb. braid broke before this FG knot did - and the knot was tied by an FG knot newbie using just this video.

Luke, I used your prior video for the Alberto knot, and have used it for the last couple of years with much success. Now I'm not so intimidated to try the FG, so thanks AGAIN! Also after seeing your tests of mono vs fluoro , do you have to change anything when using the FG knot on braid - mono connection?

Cheers for that. My son and I are just starting to use braided line with leaders. This knot is so simple its taken a little bit of the fear out of it. We will be using our braded line in the next couple of days so we will use this knot. Cheers for your time. Its very worth while for us. I was actually going to make a loop with the braided and then put the leader through the loop and then tie the standard knot you use for hooks but it would limit the size of my leader because the knot wouldn't slim through the eyes. Still learning.

That's just common knowledge, I don't know too many people who use a leader that is weaker than their main line. Braid is also thinner which means that even if your leader is the same breaking strength as your braid, the FG knot will still work.

I am a bass fisherman with micro rings on my rod. Finding a Braid to Floro knot has been very very difficult where the knot does not get caught on the micro eyelets. THIS IS IT!!! and like you said its not difficult if done exactly like you show here. The end knot is very slim and sleek, wraps around spool just fine and through all eyelets without me noticing. It not only does not get hung but I have to look to see where FG knot actually ! Thank You!!!!!!!!
