Awesome bro thanks. I tried this already. works great. this is now my go-to knot going forward. Exactly what I needed...I can tie this knot without having to applying too much tension to the line. I got it right on the first try, from this video. The way you end the knot is what convinced me. Caught a sharp nose brown skate yesterday(about 6kg) and a snapper salmon(2kg), was targeting bigger fish but they weren't around...from South AFRICA KZN North Coast.

That's a lot of half hitches you got going on! FG locks itself into the Mono. FG is far quicker and holds great! My FG's looks similar when done so there's no need for this. Thanks though.

@larrymcgill5508 Жыл бұрын

I think Hook and Rigs are both right and this pretty much relies on the circumstances. Light braid and leader call for simpler knots splicing to catch smaller prey. Blood knots, double uni’s, Alberto’s, etc. are faster to tie and will hold steady up to 15 pounds or so. Big dogs calling for heavy gear are going to need, PR, FG, or SC splices to boat those bad boys.

FG for casting, PR for jigging. You need twice as much surface for the braid when doing an PR knot, but its a definite goto knot when it comes to heavyweight jigging for large fish.

@centurian007 Жыл бұрын

You need to do your multiple half-hitches in alternate directions so they lock against each other. Also, the Risuto finish isn’t a resilient synch because It locks in the opposing direction to the fishing forces and eventually unravels. If you must use jt, lock it with super glue. A better finish is 4 or 5, “3” loop half-hitches, tied in opposing directions. Just say’in … 😉

The "rizutto" is just a whipping knot used to jam the non operative side of the knot in place and hold it together. It doesn't see any "fishing forces," only the forces required to hold the wraps in place, which tighten under tension anyway.

@iceman5117 Жыл бұрын

There's no need for any half hitches. Wrap, tighten, finish with a whipping knot. These knots work by biting into the leader material, and they hold tighter the more tension is placed on the working end. The only thing the hitches or whipping knot do is hold the entire thing together when there isn't tension on it

@iceman5117 Жыл бұрын

@@phantomshtter this isn't necessary and only makes the knot bulkier and harder to cast through the guides. Do your wraps and immediately tie the rizutto/whipping knot to cap the tag end and keep tension on the wraps, and the entire thing stays no larger than the diameter of the leader

Braid to Mono.

'Chinese finger trap' AKA 'FG knot'... technically the most reliable and slim knot for tying braid to mono and even braid to braid... all the others tries to follow the same old Chinese principle but with more braided line and efforts, FG can be done in less than 60 seconds and if tied well will give 100 percent of the line breaking strength.

@ryand8461 Жыл бұрын

Same here, went tuna casting the other day and my rizzuto's all came undone leaving just my initial 4~5 half hitches which stayed locked in place. IF you look at the Rizzuto closely, you can figure out that the braid is pulling in the opposite direction as the rizzuto, which i figure is unraveling the knot.

@paidslave1217 Жыл бұрын

@Ryan D I even use loon knot sense, and it still comes undone. Im no expert, but i did stay in a holiday inn express last night. In my opinion, it's the casting and the tag end of the rizzuto hitting the guides.

Would rather tie a double Albright or double Alberto. If you need smaller knot just tie them single . Both quicker and easier to tie properly and both very strong and reliable. Because if a knot not done correctly, about as well just tie an old Slipknot with an over hand knot in the end of the line to stop it from slipping thru the slip knot.

A PR knot is indeed stronger than the FG knot but not this particular one. It needs a proper lead in. A straight 90 degrees barrel wrap up and then back down makes for a very weak PR knot. Not to mention it is very time consuming compare to the FG knot.

@LivingArtsCo 10 ай бұрын

Kind of defeats the purpose of the pure FG. Just added bulk to hit the guides, losing casting distance, and absolutely no strength gain, as it is not the working end of the knot. We could go a mile with 1/2 hitches and the knot will not be stronger, but bulkier and stiffer making it longer. After the 1st 3 1/2 hitches, i cut the leader very close, then the rizutto butts against it perfect. Low profile, protect the very end of the braid. The shorter the length of the knot the more micro guide friendly. Never had a rizutto come undone. Had 1/2 hitches come undone in the past why I switched to the rizutto.

@yokfin53 9 ай бұрын

Form and function are more important than the little gain in knot strength which becomes irrelevant if the knot failure occur at other knots like the swivel or hooks.
