Absolutely brilliant video mate honestly a life saver hadn't been fishing in years since I was a teenager and alot has changed, learnt these knots from the video and the videos from this channel help massively, using the spider hitch at the moment as I fish over the rough alot in south Wales and it's nice and easy to do even in dark conditions, absolutely brilliant content in depth and detailed keep up the great work.

[@simonlynch159]

Another brilliant video by Dean, well done mate 👍👍

[@Ethanf2107]

Another great video. Helping out the angling fraternity 👍🏻

[@derekjefferson1324]

Hi As usual great video, always enjoy them and find them both entertaining and informative. Nominal question, I fish with a fixed spool reel, using straight 70lb shockleader when conger fishing and tapered shockleader (Varivas) when fishing for rays, could you advise which knot(s) you would recommend ? If different to this video, you may consider making a video showing same for us fixed spool users ! Many thanks in advance of your response Go Steady regards

[@richardg1781]

Hi dean what Shocklead do you recommend as in brand

[@ChefG3380]

What shockleader do you use dean?

[@peterchessell28]

never had an albright fail easy to tie in the dark tiny and simple.

[@MrBurkey22]

Hi Dean, my shockleader granny knot slides out, I'm using rovex x10 80lb, should I do 2 granny knots or...? Don't want it to be to bulky.

[@kf8575]

Pass the tag through twice when making the overhand knot, then when you pull it tight hold tension on it for a good few seconds which helps tighten it that last little bit

[@rhyswilliams1413]

Great instructional video there. Do you find that both the knots gather a lot of weed?

[@leegreen9289]

Any knot will gather weed if you fish in weed buddy. All the best🎣👍

[@MrChadw1ck]

Hi Dean. Watch all your tutorials and find them very informative. Doing the Bimini Twist when you say around both legs twice I couldn't see what you meant sorry as your wrist and the distance made that part difficult to see for me.

[@a.p.mexico1071]

To close the knot he did a half hitch in the left side of the loop and another half hitch in the right side of the loop. After that, he did a 3 complete turns to both (left and right) lines of the loop to close the knot. Greetings and Merry Christmas! In the next link you can see those steps better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJLLlZenr7Cbgrs

Uni to Uni for me for braid to braid leader. It won't fail.

[@WFNewsWorldFishingNews]

Use a dark table so we can see what you are doing

[@DaiHGowerWales]

Some black linen or a dark towel would work i think.

[@FamasFTW98]

far better and easier and faster knots than that bimini twist
