Lowest profile braid to fluro knot I know. I've been using this for a couple of years. It never fails and it doesn't get hung up on eyelets. Thanks for sharing this powerful knot.
This line is very strong and stretches great when setting the hook or fighting and bringing in the big fish. For the value of the line which isn’t much this is the right line for you if you want to save money and catch fish.
Nice looking knot...sure takes time from fishing to tie that one if you break off.. . I'll stick to what has worked for me for years without any issues for monster snook and reds. Might use it on some Tarpon setups since I take 6 rods on those days
Depending on use agreed . However, there are way too many variations of the FG knot from breaks as low as 44%to a high of 85%. Personally I need every time test simply because I use very light line , i will try this sc against my pr knot.
Major kudos to ANYone who takes their time to help others with a video such as this. Hitting the like/subscribe buttons for that reason alone. However (and this is an epidemic on RU-vid, regardless of topic)....this was more of a clinic of one's ability, than it was a tutorial.
I'll try this, but I have the Aussie FG perfected for my style 🎉knot tying. I fish hard on some species like monster reefies that will just dust if you're not on your game from spooling up correctly to your terminal tackle. One set-up is 80lb braid to 100lb leader dual speed overhead saltiga with full noise at 50lb of drag. The absolute solution for never having knot failure is not easy and takes time. The correctly tied and most importantly correctly finished fg is the most practical option. The best main line to leader always starts with a good double, sorry to upset the lazy fishos but the plat or bimini twist is the starting point then tie an albright ( bulky ) or your FG . Different knots actually suit different people, tie what your confident with remembering that the next cast, drop or troll could be your PB. If anyone wants to learn there best knot then buy a scale that records the highest weight and then tie all your knots plus learn some more, use 2lb line for this and you will very quickly weed out the popular knots. Good luck out there.
He was going to use “Stairway to Heaven” as the background music, but the song would have ended before he was done tying that knot….on the positive side, it does look like it would go through the guides well. I would just need to rewatch the video 3 times before each time I tied it.
Thanks! I like this knot a lot. I typically tie an Alberto. This is nice because you are only wrapping one strand not doubling. FG knot is nice, but it’s a bitch to tie in the boat.
Watch the video from salt strong on tying the FG. He puts the rod in the rod holder and wraps the main line around his pinky. That way he can control the tension of the main line and have both hands to tie it with
As with FG knot, leader line must be larger (the larger the better) than the main line/braid for it to work. For equal line sizes or even leader that is smaller than main line, I prefer the Crazy Alberto.
@@HookLineSinger I just went downstairs to look at both lines together and you weren't kidding when you said, Slightly. I had to get a magnifying glass on there to be able to tell that the 6lb flouro was just a hair bigger....LOL
Thanks for the tips, just bought my first ever fishing gear and going fishing now for the first time, will be uploading my results on my channel too, fish on amazing people.
That’s the key-I got discouraged from the uni to uni know years ago when I first attempted a braid main line with a mono/fluoro leader when pull testing it in my garage…. Basically, hooked it up to a piece of shelving and pulled-the knot broke failed with less pressure than I was expecting. Then tried the FG knot a couple years ago and I was breaking the leader before the knot. So that’s the only knot I trust connecting leaders.
This looks like the FG knot. Which for the life of me, I can’t get right. It always comes loose or not tight enough. I’ve been using the Albright knot but been giving me issues lately. Will try this one today at home before going out
There are simple versions. After you tied them, do 3 knots over two braided lines with fluoro and glue it. He overcomplicated it with tying with excess braid, cuz braid doesnt hold on knot
This is by far better and faster than an fg. Tied em both. Guide in Arnhem land and when tied properly by far quicker. 16 wraps at most. 80mm loop of tag when you start. Have tied it with 80lb braid to 130lb leader and heavier. Practice a couple of times and you all will see. Lot less chance of slipping than an fg too. And anyone who says their fgs never slip is full of bs. I've heard it a million times on charter and it will happen for them during the week.
I like an FG but I see folks tie them with no tension? I’ve tried that way thinking it be easier right? I have slung some good lures over the horizon trying an FG with no tension! I do have an easy way to do a FG that I tie them while in my yak, and no issues but it has tension incorporated. Gonna try this SC looks a lot less time intensive. Cheers man,
@BJ Head It's probably just me not being good at tying the FG, but I've had the mono slip out a couple of times. I am going to try it again but tye a knot in the end of the mono so that it can't slide through.
это соединение никак не сравнится с без узловкой из лески!!! Причина этого красисивого и бесталкового соединение очень реский изгиб шнура! Вот так както!
