In this video I will be demonstrating how to tie an FG knot! The FG knot has been proven time and time again to be the strongest line to leader (braid to fluorocarbon / braid to monofilament) knot out there. It's "knot easy", but it is certainly worthwhile to learn!

    This one was long overdue! For those who are struggling with this knot: take some spare line and practice at home while you're watching TV or just relaxing. You'll be ready to tie FG knots out on the water in no time!

    Newbie here and I am just getting ready to load a reel with some braid and flourocarbon leader. I was simply just going to use a snap swivel between my main line and leader material but after watching this, I've just got to give it a try. Allot of thought and work went into this great tutorial, thanks!
  • Very Good! I agree with everything that you said about the risotto knot. I have observed the same issues when wrapped around the leader. Thanks for making this video
  • @trip5497
    Cant wait to try this knot! Thanks.
  • @TacVong
    Thank you for the clear instructions!
  • @Bassassinator
    Excellent work! I just learned the Centauri knot yesterday and have it down now. Time to start on this one!
  • @ouks5
    Well done. I like the ruzzuto touch at the end.
  • So I have been using the double uni to tie flouro to braid. Works great on pan fish, haha. I will practice this knot, thanks!
  • @Nochift138
    Damn, that knot is a thang of beauty 🤩
  • @nicksandrof9345
    I’ve been trying to learn the FG, been using the Alberto knot. This method seems to be the easiest I’ve seen so far.
  • What about lubricating (spit) the knot before cinching it down? And how about for the Alberto knot ? I watched your video for that one too, and you didn’t wet that knot either before cinching it down? Thanks for “knot easy” series!!!!
  • I did the same break test with gloves on the Alberto knot and the Albright knot and those knot broke with with 10 ish very hard pulls but to be fair it was only a population of one knot with each break test. They are easy to tie but with practice this FG knot method is easy

    FINALLY instruction that was easy yo follow! Although my sausage fingers dont allow me to push 12 lb FC around the braid like you did with the heavier line, it all made good sense and I was able to finally tie an effective FG!!
