Thanks Mr. Martin I needed this cause I’m still learning how to tie the double uni knot on my spinning rod. By the way, I was watching some old videos last night and come across the 1973 bass master classic and you were in the video! You looked so young in that video. I was blown away how it has changed over the years. All the contestants were in the same boats, they were red and white. I think Rayo Breckinridge was the winner of that tournament. It’s just amazing to me how much the sport has grown!

You read the comments on knot tying and hear folks raving about the FG as the best. Curiosity finally got me wondering so I Googled the steps to tie the FG. 😳Even the new "improved" methods some folks have come up with are filled with warnings about how you can fail if you mess up one step or other. A decent job on a double uni always seems to do the trick, no matter how much I pull on it. And I've never caught a fish that pulls as hard as I tested it. 🤣 I still practice other knots, but the Palomar and double uni will always provide a backup plan to cover most any situation. 👍🏼

And fishing on the rivers with rocks and logs or other heavy cover this knot has not broke on me yet

You are right about the FG knot. I practiced it for 2-years before I made the switch over to it however I bought a special tool to tie it. I can tie one in the boat in about 2-minutes without rushing, and I have not had any FG knot fail in 3-years. I did many experiments with knots so if I get hung up and have to break it, it would break at the hook. I use an FG braid to leader and a uni-knot to the hook and it shows breaking at the knot at the test rating of the line every time. This way I do not have to tie much in the boat as long as I start out with a long leader.

Did you know? The super glue you always have around you can be used to fix the cut you have under your bandaid and once it heals the glue comes off by then . sometimes a daily application is needed for a few days but it frees your fingers from the bulky bandaid. You can also glue a small piece of papertowel over the cut for more protection. Flyfishing to guitar playing love my ( krazy glue) non poisonous also . love your content

Can anyone answer? I understand the thinking in using 65 pound braid to cut through the weeds and haul a bass out with a bucket full of cabbage. But the highest line recomendation I have ever seen a freshwater rod is 30 lb line. Does that mean if I just dead pulled with that 65 or even 50lb line, the rod would snap before the line?

Pat, it has more to do with the diameter of the line. The line ratings on the rod are typically for mono equivalents. Just compare the the diameter of the braid to mono. For example, 65lbs braid is approximately similar to 12 lbs test mono diameter. There is some variation from brand to brand to brand, but that's the generally concept. Hope that helps.

Sorry Roland, but you are living in the past still. The uni to uni is probably the worst line to leader knot there is! If you want an easy to tie knot that is far superior to the uni to uni, tie the Alberto knot. It's super strong and easier to tie than a uni to uni. Also, the Palomar is another knot that is old school, and doesn't even make the top ten list of strong line to lure knots. The Fish-N-Fool knot beat the Palomar and all other knots on the Knot Wars TV show and it is still the strongest knot ever tested with braid or mono plus it's one of the easier knots to tie as it is very similar to a uni knot.
