In this video, I show how to tie my NEW favorite braid to leader knot, the SC Knot. This knot is just as strong as the FG knot but so much easier to tie.

It's an interesting knot and a good demo. Reminds me a little of the Bimini Twist. I'll keep using the FG knot befause it took a long time to learn and I'm already good at it. (Thanks Brigsy for that.) That said I'll definitely learn the SC knot just because you can't ever know too many knots.

@MooMooOutdoors 2 года назад

Thanks. If you are good at FG, no need to switch to SC. FG is smaller in diameter after all.

@nicolasswadelson3989 Год назад

I also learned the FG from that @brigssy tuto video and never went back since, but like you, I will surely give e the sc a try, the moomoo for sharing.

@michaelfaulds2277 Год назад

I'm going to try this for sure. I saw one video that said the FG knot was only for times when the leader was higher test than the braid. Some of the comments disagreed, but I have had 8 lb mono slide out of the FG knot with 20 lb braid. It could be that I'm not good at tying the FG, but either way, I need something different.

Nice Moo. Check out the Tony Pena! Pretty simple and really strong. Slim profile knot that goes through the guides well. This knot reminds me of the Bimini twist the way the turns overlap on themselves and that's a really strong knot too.

@MooMooOutdoors 2 года назад

I have tried Tony Pena before. No doubt it's a strong knot but I didn't really like the thickness of the mono end of the knot. I should do a strength test using different knots.

@hillbillytarzan 2 года назад

I will have to give it a try, but I’ll never give up my own take on the Alberto and Albright knot. I call it the Hybrid Alberto. It works with even or uneven line sizes from 4# mono to 20# braid or 20# mono to 85# braid. I haven’t broken the knot since I’ve found the correct steps and technique. It’s probably different than how anyone else does it and I don’t have to put nearly the amount of pressure that some knots require. It’s just a quick sturdy jerk and it’s done and I finish it so the knot has a tiny taper to go through the line guide and rod eyes. It also only takes me about a minute to retie another leader on. This one seems quicker, but looks like you have to make sure to “set” the knot correctly with a lot of pressure. It’s hard to change from what works for you. Thanks for sharing this.

@MooMooOutdoors 2 года назад

I'll have to give it a try

@ilijakeca5496 Год назад

@flapjackson6077 10 месяцев назад

I guess I’m just old school, but I still prefer an Albright knot to all others. 10-15 wraps makes for a tight, compact, and very strong knot. A couple drops of super glue makes it virtually impossible to slip. Great for braided to any leader, even braid to braid! But the SC is certainly a strong knot! Just not as easy to tie as an Albright, for me at least.

That thumbnail is exactly right that fg knot is only 50 percent strength the sc knot believe it or not has 200 percent knot strength. That FG not is a terrible knot. A carrot is another good one so is a GT knot 100 percent knot strength.
