Iv been tying this knot using a bimmany twist fornthe double for about 25 years. Never once did i think about tying it this way. You have just saved me from ever having tie a bimmany twist again. This is a bloody great strong knot. Iv never had it break on me.

Awesome knot… I have watched your video again and again until I felt comfortable that I understood the steps required. I’ve watched several videos using the same concept involved here, it’s very similar to the “Surgeon’s Knot” and others…where the idea is to distribute the stress on the line to the wraps and away from the hook eyelet, allowing the line that is wrapped to stretch before putting stress on the line at the eyelet, a very cool idea that works. Thanks for a nicely done video. .

Ive used the Double Grinner Knot for my Feederfishing for many years before coming across this one now. I need to admit quite honestly I never heard about the FG Knot before coming now across this video . And I need to say it works like a dream. I'm connecting ususally a 0.10 Feederbraid Line with a 0.33 Shockleader. And it really works alot faster and easier on the Bank when setting or resetting a Rod up than the Knots I used before. Also the Knot goes smoothly through the Guides of the Feedertips and is very strong and safe even when casting heavy Feeders out at long Distances. Thanks for sharing this mighty awesome Knot with us.

Feels strong and I hope it holds up this season! Thank u for this straight forward, high quality video where we can actually see every little detail of both lines up close.

Amazingly simple to tie and I'm curious as to knot strength? The only issue I have with this is if you plan on running it through your guides, it absolutely is "knot" a replacement for the FG. I tend to run long leaders to have the luxury of cutting back long before I have to retie but if the strength of this knot is fine and you don't have to worry about bringing it through your guides, there's virtually no reason "knot" to use this. Thank you!!!!

@claytonkr05 2 жыл бұрын

This is a slightly crude-er version of a knot called the SC knot. A true SC knot is a bit smoother with the braid making the coils on the outside of the knot. I have used both the SC and FG, and I do the same as you with long leaders so you can cut them back as you change baits. A proper SC is just as strong as the FG, but it is a pinch chunkier, so it will go through the guides better than say a uni-knot, but not as smooth as the FG. Trade off is its easier and faster to tie than the FG.

@@claytonkr05 I do understand what you're saying but my next question, that nobody has answered, what is the knot strength? If it's not close than the fg than it's not even relevant. Full disclosure, doing my own tests it's 30 % less than the fg which is absolutely not acceptable. I also have not done this test with minimum variables so I could be completely off but I would love to confident in the SC like am I am with the FC. Regardless the true SC knot is here to stay and rightfully so. 5

As you complete the final step, pulling the mono tag end through the loop and tightening the knot, you have to make sure the braid loop doesn’t flip over the twists, to the braid end of the knot. As I found out after several attempts, that will result in instant failure. Good knot and I will be using this moving forward. Thanks for sharing

Appears rather simpler TO GET RIGHT than the FG knot. Today my FG's don't fail, BUT until i set up a non-portable apparatus that insures very even tensioning throughout the 'Chinese finger trap' portion, my FG'S were great - right to second they weren't great, typically after many trip's worth of repatedly passing through the guides. What i was sometimes happening was, if the ENTIRE braid wasn't utterly seated with a complete 'color change' taking place, eventually any 'slack' at the front end was becoming redistributed, lessening is holding power. i have tied FG's in the field, that have held up even, but i have trust issues after tossing no few sinking crankbaits for a country mile (unrecoverable). i don't foresee those things ever happening with this easier-to-consistently construct alternative junction.

That’s an excellent knot for tying to fluorocarbon or mono to braided. For tying braided to braided (e.g. 20-30 lb to a 50-100 lb. shock leader when surf fishing), the Albright knot with ten turns is still supreme. It’s a wee bit more bulky, but only a wee bit, and it’s strong as can be. It’s actually the second most compact knot to the one you showed here.

I'm still going to use the fg knot. You literally can't get a narrower knot. If you watch the right video on how to tie it , it's a simple knot to tie. It's NEVER failed on me ,even when snagged on something. The knot at the hook or lure will break first . This is a nice looking knot though and a good video.

@GeneFishingTV 2 жыл бұрын

@Nubenhoofer Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to be THAT guy, but I'm done keeping my mouth shut when people claim the FG is the best knot WITHOUT any specifics. Yes, it is a fantastic knot when pairing a braid to a mono or fluorocarbon leader AS LONG AS the leader material is significantly thicker in diameter. If you tie the FG with equal size diameter braid and fluoro it WILL SLIP. A good combo would be 10lb fluoro to 10lb braid since 10lb braid is roughly the same diameter as 4lb fluoro. The knot functions by the braid gripping the leader, just as if you were gripping a rope with ur hand. Think about trying to climb up a gym class rope made out of parachute cord. Not happening, it would slip right through your fingers bc it's too small, not enough surface contact. You need a nice wide rope, about 2" in diameter to create the friction needed to sustain a powerful grip. Obviously that's a bit of exaggeration in terms of size relation, but the logic remains. FG knot is NOT a universal situation knot.

I prefer the Alberto because it’s the strongest between Albright and Alberto. And yes, there’s a difference between the two. The FG is much stronger but is more difficult and time consuming. I can tie an Alberto in a third of the time it takes to tie an FG. I’ve jigged up Cobia off the bottom many times with an Alberto without issue.

This is the Yucatan knot but is too thick for me because the monoline interweaves over the braided line and I need the otherwise of this so the braided line interweaves over the monoline so I use the SC knot that for me is the best alternative of the FG knot. Strong, powerful, and thinner than Yucatan.
