I love how all these tutorials use big ole thick leader line to tie this. So much easier with large leader line. I'd like to see someone demonstrate with 30 or 40lb leader.
I find it very hard to tie an Fg like this. I think it’s getting the feel of the amount of tension needed and how much the leader can handle without going fubar. I’ve accepted it lol- just loop my main line on the reel handle and make my wraps being ok with not doing it the cool way
Oh no no no! You need to cinch that fg knot down hard to imbed it in the mono first or it’s going to fail for sure, THEN finish with your preferred locking knot. I prefer two half hitches with a drop of superglue, but a well tied Rizzuto knot is fine as well. On a rocking boat with a hot bite on, I’m using a quick Albright knot every time. Not quite as strong or compact, not it never comes unwrapped if tied correctly.
