Swindle's Favorite Fluorocarbon to Jig Knot

[@TylersReelFishing]

The Swindle Double Shindo Over-The-Creek, Beside-The-Barn Foothole Knot. Couldn't have thought of a better name myself

[@Wired2Fish]

Haha! Always count on Swindle to turn a phrase for us.

[@spaloslvnv]

In all seriousness....I told my friend about this knot like I was the GMAN himself...and have dubbed it....THE GMAN Knot! Easier to say than a Lazy Palomar Knot....but I will take credit if either of those names sticks!

[@mikeschultz6383]

Wired2Fish will this knot work with braid

[@jerrythagreatest]

TylersReelFishing yooooooo. This is the best knot. Gig em

[@garyricky8744]

Was shown this knot in 1972, when I started fishing first time I have ever seen any one using it except the fellow that showed me, have been tying it ever since !

[@johnvoltaeus9556]

Looks just like a Double Regular Clinch Knot. Where a regular clinch doesn't cinch correctly with Fluoro this one gets the job done. Scroggins uses the exact same knot. Learned it from him about 6 years back and I've used it for Fluoro exclusively since then. Next broken a single fish off. Getting snagged is an absolute pain in the rear because the knot just doesn't give up. One thing I've found to simplify the process is instead of trying to to put the line through already doubled just thread the line through the eye and back again. That way you aren't trying to get a loop in that tiny hook eye.

[@Nyghtprowler]

Works for me, I been tying an improved clinch on mono for decades, so this is just a regular clinch doubled up. Nice and easy for me to remember since I been tying this since I was a kid pretty much lol. Wonder would an improved double clinch would do?

[@Tide12NC]

I use to tie that not in the early 90’s. My dad taught me to tie it single. But I wanted to try it out doubled and did. What’s funny is Gerald grew up around where I live. So I’m thinking we all tied that knot around here, lol.

[@denverwilliams22]

[@frankmcgriff96]

You're the goods Swindle, thank you!

I think Matthew Mcconaughey watched one of these Gerald Swindle videos and took his accent to Hollywood

Probably so.

Lol same accent. 😂

I like the San Diego jam knot the best. You can tie it super quickly

[@richardraabe2789]

Looks like a great knot Gerald

[@stevehendricks1352]

Great knot! I've been tying that knot since I was 10 years old. Did a single version of that knot and it broke so as a kid I thought double it and it will be stronger. To this day never had that knot fail

[@braddunn9960]

the reason I like to watch your videos is because you already know you have a few screws loose like most of us.Liked the know instruct and skipping the jig. Brad from beautiful Table Rock condo

Watched 10 videos about this knot and always came away confused, but this video sticks and is a flippin' riot.. and I also now remember where I left the tractor ... over the creek and beside the barn!

Perfect explanation and reason not to trim too short, thank you.

[@ChrisKingOutdoors]

G Man with the in depth how to! Swindle double shindel! I'm dying thats hilarious! lmao

[@mattymo3086]

Thanks G-man. Been trying to master that knot and you made it real simple to understand. This was the first year I have ever fished with fluorocarbon and I was getting aggravated at so many jigs breaking off at the hook set. Now I know!

[@PlugNuster]

That is the Double Clinch Knot. It is my GO TO knot, always has been.

[@jell-oputin8036]

Found this video before losing my fourth jig . Perfect 🤠👍🏼

[@thomaslester8702]

It's a double line clinch knot. Original clinch knot not the improved clinch knot. Personally, I prefer the double line uni knot.

[@partner348]

Same knot I lurnt from my daddy 60 years ago, except he didn't double the line, which obviously is going to be a stronger knot. I switched to the uni to tie to the hook and the dble uni for leader to line +- 30 years ago. It's time to revisit the old man's wisdom w/ the addition of dblg the line.

[@DrDave-rv9jt]

It's called a Double Pitzen. He passed tag end through top loop only. Gotta go through the bottom loop first then top loop for Double San Diego to my understanding.

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

Think you are correct it’s either the double pitzen or the double San Diego Jam knot.

[@Cameleon_1258]

Excellent man. He’s the same in person as he is on video.

[@MrPanchito2233]

I just learned something new today, the shindig-double loop-over the barn- G-man loop knot!

[@mckmh07167]

I started using that knot about 6 months ago and I love it. Haven't lost a fish or broken off yet.

[@DALEGPEKEL]

Got the just of it, but I wish GS would have shown the steps a little slower with more closeups, pauses and better camera work - I've tested it quite a few times (using anywhere from 4-7 full twists of the lure) and in all my evaluations (on brand new line) the knot would break anywhere from 78-85% of the rated fluorocarbon line's strength (depending on the manufacturer) - Which is pretty solid compared to many other knots.

[@ronaldferguson2703]

I'm an old farm boy like Gerald here with a quick tip to add to this knot. If you're using any heavier fluoro than 14-16 lb and are having issues with line twist on your loop end when cinching down, making the knot all ugly, simply snip that loop in the middle and then do your 5-7 turns. Knot will cinch down and look pretty every time.

[@cc-ty3gg]

nice video! short,sweet and informative!!

[@jw-zl3zp]

Your spot on!!!

[@6959-n6n]

1:09 GMan: Fluorocarbon has zero stretch FC100: Hold my beer

[@FishNFoolLures]

That' another myth. Fluoro has a lot of stretch, 15 to 25 % just not as much as mono.

[@smoore8]

Very similar, if not the same, as the knot Shaw Grigsby uses for fluorocarbon. It's a good knot I use that one! Changing gears G Swindle should start youtube fishing and vlogging. People would def watch!

[@huntercroak2643]

S Moore yes the double pitzen. and he does have a youtube

[@richardj6593]

The next big innovation in line will be the elimination of knots between braid and fluorocarbon and use of a bonding agent and/or a small micro sleeve each line end can feed into and be sealed with heat or epoxy to bond the two lines together. People hate tying knots and a good engineer will put an end to the cumbersome knots. I am working on some innovations now to solve this problem.

[@johnstrain240]

Good. I’ve thought the same thing but am not working on it. Just want to use it!

[@RyanSmith-fb8rf]

You are 1000% right. I definitely see this coming

[@cascapediastjules8796]

I have been using this knot on braided line,as well seems to be working out, any opinions

[@atthebrink74]

I like the Palomar knot for braid. Never had one fail, quick to tie.

[@pierrehere762]

Double San Diego jam knot is most “official” version of a name for it I’ve found. Just started using it for my tip ups. 18” fluoro 20# Seaguar AbrazX. Not made for ice fishing, but due to mislabeling prices I got the $28 line for $7 :) switching all my steel leaders to Fluoro. Trying to hammer some walleye, northern pike aren’t picky but better flag % after switch. This knot is kind of tricky but best knot I’ve found!

[@19empire85]

It's actually a 'rivers inlet knot'. Give it a google.

[@FishNFoolLures]

@@19empire85 You are BOTH wrong it is the double clinch knot

[@19empire85]

@FishNFoolLures hahahahahhahaha nice try bud, but you should probably Google rivers inlet knot because that's just the actual name for what simple minded fools call a 'dOuBlE cLiNcH'(which should really be 'doubled clinch' since the name comes from it being tied on a doubled back piece of line.... but it's certainly not a double pitzen like your first edited attempt at correcting me. Holy hell the collective IQ of the country is falling fast, although id guess it was probably never real high in the bass fishing world to begin with🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

[@19empire85]

@FishNFoolLures hahahahha you're 3 years late but no, I'm not wrong... San Diego jam is extremely wrong but rivers inlet is the name of that knot, just because simple minded people call it a double clinch doesn't mean that's what it's actually called(and if anything would be doubled not double). Google is your friend lol nice try correcting me, better luck next time! And it's certainly not the double pitzen like you originally said before you edited your comment...

[@Chucko20000]

start as a palamar finish with a clinch.

[@anttt9050]

Nice way to explain it!!!

[@n.h6001]

[@johnwitthegreen1344]

Still think the single uni knot let alone the double uni could have a better resistance than a double fisherman’s knot but hey I’ll give it a try always love trying new knots

[@BTZBanana]

[@nelsonortiz1606]

[@lorenzojones-raston243]

It’s a double San Diego jam. Finally figured it out

[@jsnazz77]

Not quite

[@PSCThrillSeeker]

Great advice!

[@Hector5833]

Is the knot strength for the double shindo 100%? Also, is the Shaw Grisby/Jimmy Houston knot stronger than this knot?

[@zalapski9399]

Is this a double clinch knot? I can't tell if he uses the loop near the eye of the lure, or if he creates a second loop near his fingers.

[@zash008]

started using florocarbon lately. Lost a HUGE fish today using 4' 40# floro leader because knot slipped until hook slid off. will try to use this knot tomorrow on another trip to catch endangered pesky snapper offshore

[@busterking2579]

Good info and funny guy

[@Bones6856]

Shoooot I live in Idaho and that's how my daddy taught me to tie it back in the 70's.. Not fancy but fast

[@AmeriFanPicker]

Can you make a video on a table top maybe with some thick string or twine etc? Could tell exactly what you did after the five or six wind arounds. I've stayed away from floor because the Palomar is a nightmare for tying into big lures etc. it's nothing for me to change baits one or two dozen times. Lately been using P Line flori clear but even it loses its low visibility as it ages.

[@demonqb9]

Trilene knot, but start it like a palomar then twist and scoop

[@AmeriFanPicker]

@@demonqb9 well…this was some years ago. I’ve since mostly started using braid bloodknotted to maxima mono and so I just do an improved clinch and it’s pretty failsafe for me. Occasionally I manage a Palomar if I’m using flouro leader but that’s rare.

[@demonqb9]

I don't like loose ends.

[@xShadowWolfe]

palomar for everything. so simple to tie and never lets go

[@FishingThePNW]

Wrong. Palomar cuts into itself and is bad for high impact hook sets with fluorocarbon. The San Diego Jam Knot is king for high impact hook sets. Doesn't slip and doesn't cut into itself.

[@jacobanderson4101]

If that were true, then last years angler of the year wouldn't have done the video you just watched...

[@lif3l3ssgaming]

xShadowWolfe this wasnt a palomar knot he did. it looked like a palomar and a improved clinch knot together.

[@topwaterking6543]

FishingThePNW I've used the palomar knot with jigs and Texas rigs to fluorocarbon for years and have never had any problems with the knot

[@jpvand1]

Palomars the most over hyped knot. It’s strong on pull tests but has no impact resistance. Tie one and the yank the hook/line apart fast. I’ll pop most times.

[@FishHuntFreedom]

Lol best knot name ever. I’m tying this knot just because the name

[@dexterjackson6145]

Thanks for the info

[@brennanryan8026]

Is this just straight 18 pound flouro? I had 15 pound flouro on my reel once and absolutely hated it, could barely cast. Does Sunline really make that big of a difference?

[@leycrome1161]

is this knot recommendable for a crankbait as well? (let it move the bait still naturally?)

[@Wired2Fish]

Yes it will work on a crankbait. Tied to a split ring, the crankbait will move naturally. It's not the knot that determines that.

[@stevebel31]

does this knot work well with braid also?

[@nick2sick442]

stevebel31 No. Palomar for Braid.

[@treybrafford3493]

[@CB4basser1]

stevebel31 double Palomar for braid!

[@FishNFoolLures]

The Fish-N-Fool is the only knot you should ever tie with braid. It is 15% stronger then ANY other knot

[@MissionJesus370]

It's just a loop at th bottom right?

[@bigfredtn]

I learned that knot as a child watching Jimmy Houston and Bill Dance.

[@KFieLdGaming]

double clinch knot. Could do the same with the improved clinch too. Another knot that is just as good is a San Diego Jam knot. At least for fluorocarbon. For braid, I only use a palomar exclusively. With mono, I don't really care. It's just whatever I feel like tying.

[@topwaterblzt2473]

Was using this knot but kept getting grass caught in the top tag end. Went back to the regular clinch for now.

[@caderudiger4038]

Cool video just might use it... hard to go away from a Palomar knot just cause how strong it is

[@austinmalone821]

Is this just for jigs ?

[@bobbarnhill8557]

Its a double clinch knot. SD jam knot is a better knot. The wraps start at the top and wind down toward the jig or hook.

[@r1a141]

Cool dude😉

[@jw-zl3zp]

Make sure you go by the side of the barn, it will slip!! Lol!!! Funny!!!

[@christophercook723]

English sub titles would help.

[@GrowingGillz]

It's the berkley braid knot

[@peoriaos6627]

Great points, however here is the flaw at least with braid to fluorocarbon. I can pull tight many times before putting it in the water. Not hard enough to break the line, but then I get a fish on that is no where near the same strength and it fails... with quality line. I'm not sure if the product degrades that quickly or the braid is being cut... fact is time to remove flouro from the equation. I don't need to be losing fish when I'm using expensive tackle. I'm ready to go back to mono on everything. It works... And one or two simple knots.

[@Fred-1975]

Tag ends; so true!!!

[@brettjamesmiller]

Exactly! If they can’t tell there’s a hook in it they sure as hell ain’t gonna see 1/4” clear tag

[@thechaneyunit]

Why not do a double improved clinch knot? I have used the improved clinch knot and never lost a fish

[@JS-qc5ep]

Been using a palamor for years....never failed me

[@robertcox9226]

The only problem with the Palomar is tying on treble hook lures.

[@FishNFoolLures]

well you must be using 30 lb test for perch fishing then, because the Palomar is not even in the top 10 of the strongest knots.

[@brodrickrobertson3459]

Swindle just threw a fastball in there sidearmed bout 98 miles to the per hour. Hey it might be high it might be low but it backed him off the plate. I mean leave a little on there case you tied a bad knot!
