The 1 thing that allows the SC knot to fail are the locking loop Braids that continually get worn down and weakened with every guide pass. FG for small FG or PR for heavy- as good as it gets
Im following the steps but it isnt self locking all the time, sometimes it locks sometimes it doesnt and I can't think why. Because if it doesnt self lock no matter what finishing knot you put it will all slide off the mono.
Nice video! I’m an FG user, a happy one, but I’m really curious to test the SC at some point. From the microscope view, it seems that FG would perform better for spinning because it’s thinner, and SC could be a good alternative for jigging. I have watched some tests here on RU-vid and they seem comparable for resistance
Finally someone who shows how to do the SC KNOT well. I had to do it several times before I understood and indeed I found that having the "D" shape was really essential, and doing at least 20 laps depending on the fluoro and the braid. While the FG I manage to do it very short, (8 to 10 turns) on any thread. Although it is very short. I love the mini FGs of a few small millimeters on very thin diameters. I have been doing FG for more than 10 years, I have my own way of tightening it differently, I have less distortion because I do the ball on the fluoro before tightening. Before I did after but I had a big distortion on the fluoro too, I attenuated it well, I perfected the Fg in my own way and it suits me very well.
Hey!! I really enjoy your videos and I'm being honest your FG knot is the best! Could you please do it again but with the style of rope you have now so it's easier to see
@@mbcustomlures7496 I do 15 turns for the FG, you say make sure you follow the correct direction with the rizzuto I can't tell which is the correct way haha I will have to try with rope to understand the knot better
I'm a bass fisherman. Either of these two knots is absolutely stupid overkill for fresh water fishing. When are you ever going to use lines of this weight in fresh water fishing? The 30lb braid yes but 50lb leader. Ridiculous.
