The majority of them do not have the instruction on how to use them and it can be very frustrating when you don't know how to use the tool you've just purchased or are planning to buy...

The most important step in tying the FG knot was left out. Never fish the knot the way it was tied in this video. You need to tension the knot after 2 half hitches. Then you can finish it off more half hitches or a uni.

@Psevdokranos Год назад

correct! else there's risk for becoming sort of loose with the casts.

@josephsmyth7334 10 месяцев назад

He didn’t use half hitches. He use half inches

@anglersanonymous714 8 месяцев назад

Strange that every video I have seen with this tool nobody finishes by adding tension after 2 half hitches. I was going to point it out as I just came across this nice tool and wasn't going to buy until I saw your post stating the truth.

@cuivre2004 4 месяца назад

I like the concept- it keeps things more compact during the tying process vs using your rod length and wrapping around your fingers or using your teeth for braid tension. It controls the line from inadvertently getting tangled or the wind affecting the tag ends, etc.

@boxyguy3681 Год назад

That looks way harder than just tying it without the gadget.

@dirkdiggler2430 Год назад

You don't need tools at all for FG knot, just run the braided line through your rod than wrap the braided line a few times around your pinky finger, pull the line with your finger for tension and wrap the leader line around the braided line. Make sure the last wrap of the leader line is pointing toward your rod so that you can make the half hitch knots.

@robertcox9226 6 месяцев назад

You're right you don't need tools. Takes me less than a minute. If you tie it a lot you get faster. Double about 10 in of line you wrap it around your pinkie insert your index finger and thumb inside the loop forming a tight circle. That makes you r tight intersection of braid. 20 wraps then a quick 2 halfs then finish w renzetti. I've been lucky growing up as fly tyer so my fingers work well. Lots of whip finishing on flys never used a tool.

@gypana Год назад

You need to pull the braId so it bites into the leader or it will just slip off no matter how many half hitches you do to tie it off.

@sriphetsomboon 2 года назад

Thanks you so much for video. 🙏🙏😊😊

@covalkir Год назад

In all the research and viewings I've seen on the FG knot I've never seen the tag of the leader line used to make the locking knot (1st half-hitch). I don't know what that means for knot integrity; just an observation.

@pfconrey Год назад

That step actually defeats the whole purpose of the FG knot, which uses the same physics as a Chinese finger trap to hold the leader in place. If you add the half hitch, you are adding bend in the leader, the lack of which is the advantage of the FG in the first place. A that point, you may as well just use a double uni, which while slightly thicker, is far easier to tie.

@helstonoldboy Год назад

@@pfconrey I’ve used this tool, and although you form the knot with the leader, the knot actually transfers to the braid as you tighten, and the integrity of the leader is maintained.

@rayadouno7811 Год назад

No disrespect! But this video got me thinking... Me and my father used to go fishing using "soup cans" and we tied our hooks the exact same way we tied our "shoe laces". Never had a single problem and we always had a successful fishing trip time and time again! Looking at all these new gadgets today, makes me think "why do we make it complicated?" No need man! Sincerely no need! Grab an old fashion ZEBCO reel if you want and have a blast! Make a fishing device using a "soup can" and have a blast, it is really that simple! Is all love man! Enjoy being outside, enjoy the water, enjoy the company, make new memories!

@fishmadpro7210 Год назад

Fully agree with you! In the old days, we used to use very simple setups for fishing without all of those fancy gadgets, feeders, tools, etc. If you can do it all with your hands, then there's no point in having these gadgets, but if you have issues with your hands or fingers, some of them might be a life savor...

@matthew_harris 11 месяцев назад

@@fishmadpro7210 Try catching a 40lb Grouper or high speed trolling for Wahoo with a soup can. Simple is not always better for all types of fishing. I agree you can go simple, I see people fishing with Cuban YoYo's here in South Florida and they do great with simple setups to catch smaller fish like Mangrove Snapper, etc. You need high tech knots and heavy duty equipment for certain types of fishing. I use this knot specifically to attach braid to mono which is a great way to have a shock leader or wind on leader that passes through your rod tip and eyelets without damaging the rod. 80lb braid to 100 pound mono with this knot is incredibly strong.

@jevy567 Год назад

ill just stick to double uni =\. FG not for me after watching this but still a great video for those that choose it.

@Gstar5150 Год назад

An easy way I tie this without a tool is I wrap the braid 4-5 times around my left pinky, set the mono behind my neck and wrap it around my left pointer finger while keeping tension which leaves me full maneuverability to wrap the line around the braid with my right hand if you do exactly that it's very fast and efficient.

@randyeggleston7138 9 месяцев назад

Does it matter what pointer finger you use?

@Gstar5150 9 месяцев назад

@@randyeggleston7138 I use my left pointer finger kinda like im doing a rockstar symbol with my fingers spread far apart using my pinky as well to maintain tension, providing full maneuverability with your right hand and vice versa if your left handed. (I wrap the braid around my pinky make a couple wraps in the knot then wrap the mono/fluoro around my pointer finger allowing more maneuverability and in my opinion a more tightly woven and sleeker profile)

@randyeggleston7138 9 месяцев назад

@@Gstar5150 that’s exactly what my Grandma told me that’s how she tied it when she was a little girl, but there was a lot of confusion of course do to the rock n roll music for the youngsters hadn’t come out so people really didn’t know if that was an actual knot manipulation with the pointer pinky, or if it was an up and coming gang sign. We played it safe and tied in complete concealment.

@johnhart7089 2 года назад

Nice video. Does the direction of the half hitches matter? It appeared you reversed the direction during each 4 half hitches of the braided line.

@fishmadpro7210 2 года назад

Hello John. Not really, as long as you do minimum of 4 over two lines (braid and leader) and 4 over the braid when you cut the leader. Don't forget to burn the tag end of a leader in the end as it makes this knot much stronger...

@johnhart7089 2 года назад

@teetimeaz 10 месяцев назад

I like it. But I do not burn the braid. I put several drops of CA glue along the knot. This protects the knot from abrasion caused by the guides. Your knot will last much longer.

@Psevdokranos Год назад

the problem with this knotter is that there;s not enough room for longer FG knots required for fishing badass fishes like amberjacks, big bonitos/ albacores and of course deep blacks like groupers. For these trophies the length of the FG knot has to be at least something like 4cm, impossible with the knotter. Another alternative is to make a custom knotter, using 2x sushi sticks mounted on a flat wooden surface, glued on it, distance 35cm, on top of them glue corks, cut in the mid section of the corks a trough for line/leader and do same procedure like in this video. The FGs will be longer.

@Obxhatman Год назад

Its like being 3 years old again , and learning to tie your shoes. Just keep doing a overhand knot 40 times , it will stay. If I had to tie this knot on a kayak , or even on land to insure I did not lose fish. I think I would quit fishing. This is way to much to secure a braid line against mono. Absolutely way way over done. Unless you are fishing for say 100 pound plus tuna or something. I just do not see it being practical. I'm not spending 15 minutes to tie my line fumbling with some tool.

@cuivre2004 Год назад

That is my philosophy on this knot- the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I use an Uncle Jim Tool and tie an Alberto knot using it. Any joining knot will catch on the rod tip eyelet if you are pitching and the knot goes through it.
