Shock Leader Knot for Surfcasting

[@jeremyhowes2399]

Clear and concise instructions to tie a simple, incredibly strong knot, capable of passing through the smaller eyes. Thank you Mark, much appreciated.

[@amblo51]

This addresses my concerns of casting a large knot through guides. Probably one of the smallest I’ve seen. Thank you

[@MarcoG1979]

incredible knot. I did not know it. very small and very resistant. the best.

[@21agdmnm]

(using a 12lb mono and 30lb shock leader) tried like 3 other knots and they all snapped at one point, yours holds strong! thx!

[@clownfish9412]

Was shown this knot by a top Irish match angler he was shown it by a top Welsh match angler its the only leader knot i use now ,not too well known but very effective . Thanks for sharing 🍻✌😎

[@briancraig9234]

Great knot! Been using it with 11 lb to 30 lb shock leader and it's worked flawlessly dozens of trips so far. It was so simple that I was skeptical at first. I do use a drop of glue on the knot. Haven't tried without.

[@bigmikenz7377]

amazing knot, compact and strong, used it on my braid also with great result, just repeated the first loop a 3 times to spread the load on the nylon and its perfect, cheers Mike

*I bought these and used them at the river where I get snags often they have done a **enjoyable.fishing** recommend great job of not breaking along with some strong line I purchased as well. They are super durable and easy to use.*

[@gustavolara8376]

simply beautiful, something practical and strong, thank you, greetings from cape coral, thank you very much

[@adamgoodsell6782]

Thanx for shareing, ive tied this knot and it is outstandingly strong, a proper knot, well done mate.

[@nigelhaines7900]

your need to wet the knot when pulling it together thou to prevent friction burns,good knot thou thanks

[@ashleypss]

So fast and easy definitely going to make a lot easier on the beach.

[@bigfan1364]

Awesome tutorial👍👍👍

[@thecsslife]

Simple strong knot, what i needed

[@calitosantos7346]

Best shock leader knots thanks

[@carloboni9550]

Thanks got it first time 👍

[@Ngwaaaron]

Thank you!

[@rwright59]

I would tend to lubricate with saliva before tightening up. Friction on the mono will weaken the line

[@kf8575]

Ends up quite a thick knot, can imagine when a lot of weed drigting through the water, a lot is going to bunch up around this knot?

[@thekinkyskink2676]

if this knot does not have an official name, I'm just going to call it the Welshman's Knot.

[@jevoncooper295]

in your opinion which would be the best knot to use braid to braid the double uni knot vs the blood knot which one would you choose

[@markroberts3222]

I don't use braid, so I'm not the right person to advise you. I'm sure others on KZbin can answer your question.

[@fede8444]

Un nuovo nodo, grazie amico lo proverò sicuramente 👍

[@mikeburgess-cw1ts]

Do you think this knot is stronger than the spider hitch knot?

[@markroberts3222]

Sorry, but I have no experience with the spider hitch.

[@mikeburgess-cw1ts]

OK no problem, I have tied this knot 20 times and it hasn't failed once, thanks.

[@aseng123aseng5]

Hadir boss.

[@Viking19077]

Great knot, Whats it called?

[@markroberts3222]

It has no name I know of. However, the double wrap of the shock leader is a short version of the Bristol knot.

[@Viking19077]

@@markroberts3222 Its the best looking knot I've tied for shockleader to main, Well happy I've found this one cheers.

[@adventureswithken1983]

Might have to try this one out. The FG knot does not hold for surf casting. Its mind boggling as it holds for every other application.

[@kf8575]

You might not be tying it correctly then, as an FG knot is just as strong as the line used to tie it

[@MrAndrewholde]

Can you use the fg knot mono to mono

[@MrAndrewholde]

From braid to mono not mono to mono

[@bronsonreich7675]

fg is terrible imo, hardest and comes undone

[@adventureswithken1983]

@bronsonreich7675 been doing it sense and never once had it come undone. It does take a few seconds to tie tho

[@chepachii]

Can this be tied with braid? Nice knot I am going to give it a try for my shock leaders in mono, looks neater than the traditional alright.

[@markroberts3222]

Sorry, no experience tying with braid.

[@chepachii]

@@markroberts3222 thanks Mark, I have started using this knot with my surf casting outfits and am hooked, don't care about braid, don't use it was just curious. I like the fact this knot is compact and simple yet strong.

[@bigmikenz7377]

amazing knot, just changed all my rigs over, compact and strong, cheers

[@blazedwookie7367]

You go way to fast at the start to even do it??
