This 5 SECOND Braid to Fluorocarbon knot is a GAME CHANGER!

[@bayoubanditcharters]

The "teaser rig" video link at the end of this video shows this knot again with better lighting, bigger line, and a black background. Thanks, and tight lines!

[@mds178]

That’s a surgeons knot. That’s what I use to tie leader line. I’m surprised it’s not more popular. It’s super super easy and in my experience it’s very strong

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Heck yeah! Thanks for the comment brother!

[@WizzdummHeadley]

I AGREE!!!

[@stefanoworx]

Just tried it and I love it! 50lbs mono to 15lbs braid! Spanish won’t cut me off again! Thx

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Heck yeah brother! Appreciate the comment, thanks!

[@kpocala1061]

That first knot reminds me of the surgeons knot

[@JonathanTomlinson-i9k]

You’re awesome buddy!! I’m glad you are showin people how to tie but come on get back to catchin those big ole flatties!! Woooowooooo!!! Love those videos !!👍🏼👍🏼god bless

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Thanks brother! Got some flatty catching for you tomorrow morning, lol!

[@Pray4Mojo1]

I used to always use this knot for fly fishing. You can build a leader in about 2 minutes flat. Then attach your fly with a double davy knot. So fast, and dang strong too. Plus the double davy knot is perfect for flies.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Thanks for commenting brother! I defiantly love this knot!

[@HerbertFinch-i4l]

This is a surgeons knot! Its what I use, been around for years .Thanks.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

[@stillwater62]

That is a triple surgeon`s knot with an extra turn. I have been using the triple surgeon`s knot for tying my braid to fluorocarbon for several years, without any problems. Thanks for the video.

The jig knot was developed by Rapala to give their lures more side to side action and has always been known as the Rapala knot.

[@larrystolzman9337]

Awesome! I can’t tie a knot to save my life. There is hope for this one! Thanks. God Bless.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Lol! I’ll have another video out soon tying my teaser rig for flounder and I will tie this knot again with better lighting and bigger line. Thanks for your comment brother!

[@brentstomp72]

I hate tying leader to braid. I tried this simple knot the other day and it worked great for my use. It will be my go to. Thanks for sharing

[@bayoubanditcharters]

I definitely love it as well! Thanks for your comment!

[@jamescooper2618]

This is a four turn Surgeon's Knot. We do 2 and 3 turns adding tippet to fly leaders.

[@catchandrelease6196]

Surgeon knot with extra turns. I use when I need to tie up fast but this is not as friendly going though the rod tip. Good quick knot though and I agree, - it is strong

[@WizzdummHeadley]

Yep don't leave too much tag and you should be good.

[@rolandogarza1151]

Great tip capt.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Thanks brother!

[@rfdsrd]

With all surgeon knots, try six overhand knots instead of four. I've done well over a hundred surgeon knot tests and the 6TurnSurgeon is an over 100% knot, meaning that in a digital force gauge tensile test the weakest line will break outside the knot and at a higher test break than the line's listed breaking strength (this is because all lines are conservatively rated).

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Good info brother, thanks!

[@rfdsrd]

@@bayoubanditcharters Yer most welcome, sir. Now to dig a bit deeper into my personal surgeon knot testing, it was all done with mono-2-mono lines. When it comes to braid main lines and mono leaders, it's very hard to beat the over 100% FG knot for CT reels (non-level wind) or spinners - no bulky surgeon knot needed. For CS reels (level-wind) where I've got 'em spooled with mono and need to tie on a mono shock leader, I use a hybrid line build that will use small diameter knots (the FG) to ease thru the level wind guide and rod guides. This kind of completed line uses a braid joiner with FG knots to marry a mono main line to a mono leader. The resulting FG knots on a hybrid line sail right on thru all guides like a hot knife thru that cake o' butter mama just churned :) I do this mostly for 17 or 18 pound mono to 50 pound mono leaders. The braid joiner I use starts out at a few feet and becomes less than a foot when the FG knots are completed. I use 25 to 65 pound X8 quality braid. I usually also coat the knots and line with either activated CYA glue or that Loon UV Knot Sense glue. Ahyhoo, give it a go with yer CS level wind reels! I use mono main lines of 17, 18, and 25 pound Sufix Siege or Sakuma mono that's 6XS (6 turn surgeon) knotted to 50, 80, or 100 pound Sufix Superior, Sakuma, Trilene, or Gardner mono. I'm a surf fisherman, mostly for NOAA shark tagging, using CT type revolver reels that will hold 300 to 400 yards of mono. Here's a 6XS surgeon line build and tensile test I recently videoed - kzbin.info/www/bejne/goLQkIeqf76jhac Tight lines and landed fish to ya!

[@Big66Red11]

3 (or 4 turn in your case ) surgeon knot. Fast and strong. Been broke off but knot hasn't failed me yet.

[@robertpedini3312]

hi there, robert here from Sydney Australia. May I offer a constructive criticism. I had a hard time seeing the braid and leader against the blue background. For practical purpose may I suggest using twine or string so that we can clearly see how the knot is tied. At my age of 71 I'm all for simple knots. Thanking you, Robert

[@bayoubanditcharters]

I totally agree with you. I will have a video soon on how to tie my teaser rig and will show this knot again using twine! Thanks for your comment brother!

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Hey Bandit, I'm super intrigued by the knot. Can you cast that knot thru guides?

[@matthewholliday7001]

Thanks brother!

[@bayoubanditcharters]

[@WizzdummHeadley]

@@bayoubanditcharters No worries always best to keep things simple, especially in the field.

[@MarkBrassington-n6o]

I started using this knot (3turns) for tying fly fishing leaders in England, I now live in Australia and use it for my lure fishing with 5 turns. Very strong and as the fluro tag is pointing “backwards” it goes easily through the guides. I’d like to see a strength test compared to the FG knot.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Thanks for commenting brother, it is definitely my favorite and very strong indeed!

[@dooley01]

Thanks for the great info.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Yes sir! Thanks for your comment!

[@rogercastle2434]

[@bayoubanditcharters]

[@paulmonk6867]

believe it is a surgeons knot. I was taught how to tie it at a fly and tackle shop in New Mexico. Have used it for years and don't think it ever has failed at the knot. Only disadvantage is that you cannot tie with the leader material still on the spool. You have to cut the line.

[@reneschaap8091]

dat is een water knoop !!!!👍👍

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

.... This is a Surgeons knot with 2 extra wraps ... works good for 2 lines of same diameter ... but will slip if leader is smaller diameter ... a Double Uni is best for building or attaching leaders ...

[@WizzdummHeadley]

I DISAGREE! You just have to make sure your leader is properly cinched down or just don't use too small a leader.

[@fwood1231]

At 75 years old, I almost quit using brain because I couldn’t tie the knots. But I can tie this night. We used to call it a surgeons not thanks for the tip.

[@HoosierOutdoors]

I'm gonna try that! I tie the FG knot but my fingers don't work like they used too.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

Heck yeah brother, I was a big double uni guy until I started using this one! Very quick and hasn't failed me yet!

[@larrycarr6545]

Love that knot. And the mod Albright and the modified Alberto, and the Uni, and double Uni. I’ve got serious arthritis. And had a mild stroke. I find the FG, GT and complicated knots a royal PITA. IMHO, the F in ‘FG’ name, stands for something that should not be said in decent company. I’ve fished since I was 4 years old (1955) and I can tie those acronym knots. But why should I? If I’m offshore and fishing for big tuna, marlin, Goliath, then maybe I’ll take the time to use those knots. But when we have such great knots like the surgeons, Albright, modified Albright, double uni, Alberto and others, i don’t wast my time on those AC KNOTS. (AC-Acronym) puzzle knots.

[@bayoubanditcharters]

I’ll never tie anything else for inshore fishing. To be so quick and simple, I’m amazed at how strong it is and how effortlessly it goes there the rod guides.
