The Slim Beauty Knot | Saltwater Experience

[@waynerobinson3030]

Seen it called slim beauty on an Australia fishing dvd from 2011, amazing that its travelled forward in time and all the way over the pond to be named after you.

[@Side85Winder]

LOL best comment ever 👍. It sounded pretty good even if it's made up bs 😂.

[@RTRT-fd3ye]

absolute favorite..been using it for over 10 years and it has never failed..only difference is that I always double up the last 50-60cm of braid with a 6 turn surgeons knot

[@enterthedragon5979]

Hey buddy this guy claims to have invented it and you have used it for 10 years. Do you think he was the creator?

[@mickpaton9473]

Just wondering why the double 50-60 cm on the braid? To add to strength?

[@mickpaton9473]

And how does it go going through the baitcaster and guides withbur improvement ?

[@SaltwaterExperience]

+HotRodJax I use a swivel to reduce or eliminate line twists. This knot will create a very strong connection but will not reduce line twists

[@markrigg6623]

This is for lure fishing where we have to wind the leader connection through the guides! Swivel is for shorter trace bait fishing.

[@vinceveloce9897]

Great explaining... subbed

[@dougallen1458]

Works great 200lb braid to 130lb fluorocarbon for big tuna also now known as the GT knot !

[@Alexlee-si4zc]

saw it in hawaii five 0. but in that it came across as a lot older knot. how long ago did you come up with it?

[@DrFrankLanzisera]

Great knot which has never failed me tarpon flyfishing.

[@mickpaton9473]

Im in 🇦🇺 and use this knot for all my leader to braid . Thanks it works well

[@Fireblade918]

You can call it what you like, this is a tapered shock leader knot i was tying here in UK 40 years ago.

[@evertalm7776]

It isn't going smoothly through the rings at all and is not suitable for lighter rods with small rings. It actually grabs into the rings and gets stuck.

[@christophercook723]

Excellent thanks.

[@HotRodJax]

does this void the need of a swivel?

[@myluresstuckinatree2111]

Great knot great story.

[@lukegardiner900]

What was the Bimini twist variant?

[@timg7942]

Where would you put a sinker with this knot?

[@jonnywaselectric]

depends where you were fishing, If it was a snaggy bottom I always run the sinker directly above the hook, otherwise I would run it above the leader on the main line provided the leader was only about 1m or 3 feet long

[@grguezc]

Hi Tom! I could use this knot in a monofilament to fluorocarbon connection if I not use braid?

[@noaddedsugar_]

how do you think this hold up against gt knot. similar application but i dont know which is better? what do you think this application for slow jigging?

[@keales9564]

Do you think this is just as good as a FG Knot? Or better? Braid to a heavy mono leader.

[@SaltwaterExperience]

Roy Matsuyama I think it is different. The FG knot is a superb knot that is ultra small and goes through the guides easily. I do not use an FG knot in this application. I tend to use that knot for braid to fluorocarbon while I use the Slim Beauty for tarpon fly leaders where I need to go from 12 or 20 lb tippet to 60-80 lb shock leader. Both are good knots that I use regularly for different applications

[@SaltwaterExperience]

keale s I have a video coming on the FG/Sebile knot. Also one on my own version called the TR Knot. Stand by

[@WheelerLures]

has anyone tied this with a 25# fluoro main line?

[@SaltwaterExperience]

Rhett Wheeler It will work with 25 fluoro

[@exitar1]

Just use the GT knot.

[@michaelinraleigh]

Seems fat though. Will it cast thru guides?

[@jayrough1413]

Will this work with freshwater fishing as well?

[@SaltwaterExperience]

Yes, of course

[@jmitch1115]

Holy guacamole, doing this with 10lb power pro to 10lb trilene mono took some patience 😥😥

[@jmitch1115]

And thanks for the video!

[@JastVlogTv]

Cool i was use that when i was in girlscout.. until now i use it😍

[@peterchessell1949]

Half albright half uni.

[@SaltwaterExperience]

peter chessell It is really neither. More like 1/2 figure 8 and 1/2 improved blood knot or bimini

[@lukegardiner900]

Leader...leader is what your using...

[@FeathersFurandFins]

But didn't Tom Pierce come up with this back in the 70's?

[@SaltwaterExperience]

+Feathers, Fur, and Fins I have another video on the Tom Pierce Knot which is slightly different. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKXFiqF4pNCLd5o

[@legokid-nf5de]

cool

[@scottpowers6018]

Cool

[@markrigg6623]

A bit gob smacked when you said how you named the knot. Youve picked a completely and directly mis leading name. Not real smart.

[@afernan5]

F*ck all this. FG knot with Ruzzuto lock finish.

[@christophercook723]
