    Best knot out there in my opinion
    The amount of time and practice attempts it takes pays off in the end
    And remember this is mono to brain

      Agreed. I still haven't mastered it though lol. When I'm on the water and have to put a new leader on I default back to the double uni.

      @@iceman5117 me too dude it’s just too much lol and I use light line so some of my setups can’t use the fg cuz it just slips right out, I guess the leader is too light for the braid to bite into it. I fish pretty open small ponds so there’s no point in using thicker line

    I use the pinky tension method. I change directions on the half hitches.(one ove one under) and run it past the end of the leader so it tapers.

    I love this knot. Used uni- uni and it got stuck on my guides to the point it flung lures back mid cast, breaking lures and almost hitting people. Hate it. Tried the fg and will never tie anything again. Uni to uni is nice for spooling braid

      I’ve been trying to watch every video I can to find the best knot to use connecting a leader to my main line. This one seemed like it would be the best option for going through the guides the easiest! You can definitely tell the FG knot is more slim and would allow for easy sliding down through the guides. Whereas other knots look like a balled up knot.

    • @Dr.CheekClappa
      @Dr.CheekClappa 4 месяца назад

      Make a shorter leader to avoid the double uni running through your guides pop. I plan to learn the FG but i feel like it takes too long to get it perfect and seamless as possible, and I'd rather just do the uni to get back on to fish if it happens to break while I'm out

    The day the alberto knot i tie fails on me i would use the fg knot! Trully if your drag is set right you dont need the strongest knot. I can tie 20 albertos in the time it take me to tie one fg.

    Great animation. But ditch all those half hitches and finish with the rizzuto knot. Those half hitches are chunkier than the FG knot itself.

    ⁠ i use the alberto. i have never had an alberto fail but i fish for bass with leaders: flouro seaguar or trilene mono 15lb-6lb and on 6lb the fg is useless doesnt hold fails everytime. on 10lb some times fails no matter how many twists 20+ . i bet fg is great on higher diameter pound test where the alberto be too thick. people That fish salt water 80lbs test line leaderd has more diameter and the coils have more meat to bite.. but fishing below 15lb test the alberto flies thru the guides just as well.

    Half hitches ruin the fg knot and make it bulky. Rather than finishing the wraps and tying half hitches to secure it,skip the hitches and whip finish/rizutto
