It is indeed a great knot. I don't have a PR bobbin, so I use a sinker and swing the line around like that. I give it about 40 turns one way, and then 40 turns back down on top of the original 40. So my knot is about 3 or 4cm long. Strong as an ox, and hasn't failed me.....
I see alot of comments that have misinformation about this knot to me seems like the negative comments are just people that never used i have had fg fail on me a few times but this knot has never as for going through the guides never an issue best for lure casting landbaseesed shark fishing or anything med to heavy tackle
Although this Knot is different to the FG . The premise of tight coils being made stays the same. Is the PR Knot the only knot that can be tied with a bobbin or can it be used for other knots etc ?
Know that your leader is ready go and give that fish that gave you a hiding one to,😂😂😂 never used that not but will definitely try it thanks for the knowledge
Nice video, just some queries. So you not running the bobbin up and down? What braided leader are you using or recommend on a 30lb mainline? And lastly length of leader. Is its onto the spool before you cast? Thanks
So for us, we would go 30lb onto a 120lb braided leader. You go in 1 direction from left to right… your braided leader should be from the top of your rod (10cm above your top eye), and 2 or 3 wraps around your spool.
So what is wrong with the normal fishing knot that most of us use? I already battle to put the braid or nylon through the loops. My eyesight is not too good. But thanks for sharing this information with us all
7-10cm is way too long imho, just make travelling through the eyes more resistant. 1” to 1-1/2” is more than enough and slides through the guides much easier.
10 cm is the old way of thinking. Tests since then have shown that 5cm is all that's needed to get maximum strength. In fact if is too long when pulling it tight to finish, the last coils may not dig in properly and there is a small chance will slip and un ravel. When is short all the coils will dig in for max strength and less chance to unravel
Your first wrap is the most important, the wraps should be closer BUT evenly spaced not against another. Your main line half hitches should also not only be on the mainline, it should be over be leader.
I tie my PR knots on the go. I do spin fishing, and often get snagged or bitten off, so have to make leaders on the go, never had an issue with the PR knot, it really is easy to do when you get the hang of it. It take me just over a minute to do mine...

That’s a very sharp way to do it!
Can’t fault this knot- it is NEXT LEVEL👍🏻🤙🏻
How do you do it with a sinker - will be great to know - always lose my gadgets on the beach
Always looked complicated but u make it look simple 👌👌👌 need to get this tool
Worth every cent bud- you’ll battle the first few times, and may want to throw it away (a word of warning🤣)… but once you nail it, you’ll thank us👌🏻

Exactly bud- this knot is completely bulletproof to another degree! People should be using more of this, and losing less tackle (and fish)…
Thanks! Smart tool.
Definitely worth buying fisho🤙🏻💪🏻
Awesome tutorial 💪🏽👌🏽thank u 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed bud🙏🏻
Shot Dean, I have watched a few tutorials on you tube of guys explaining this knot, sadly most were a bit confusing, you however made it very simple 🎉
Glad it was an easy explanation!!
An amazing tool that every angler needs in his arsenal🎣💪🏻

Premise is maybe the same, but about twice as strong we would say (no jokes)…
I’m actually not sure on other knots- I must look into it🤙🏻
wow- is there a way to do it without the tool, save some money and I always tend to lose this type of gadget.
Another guy commented saying he uses a sinker- I think that could work like a charm👌🏻

Well worth the investment bud… quite honestly… it’s impossible to snap🤣🤙🏻

When joining braid to braid… you want the best possible knot. Especially when fighting a big fish, you want to know your knots are going nowhere.

Like I said, it’s how we were taught, and works for us🤣

We will try this.
This is how we were taught how to do it… I guess we will all have variations I guess- not sure what you think?

This knot is unrealistic if you standing on a reef in the middle of the water with the waves splashing over you. Its a nice "at home knot" though.
We use this knot wherever we fish… off the rocks, and in the surf.
You have to have somewhere to put bait on your hook…
