FG knot

[Dutch]

I’ve used braid to leader off and on for a long time.  I’ve used Albright, Alberto, and uni to uni just to name a few.  Every single one of them has been prone to break at the knot no matter what size leader that I am using.  The only exception to that is the FG.  I’ve been using it for several months.  So far when I have to break off it has been at the bait.

Do any of you guys use the FG?

Absolutely knot. 😜

Looks like a good one to learn.

It took me so long to get tying Alberto knots proficiently that I have stuck to them.

I tie my leaders on at home with the FG knot, but use the Alberto in the boat as it’s easier for me to tie. I don’t have any issues with either when it comes to breakage, but the FG is a little bit thinner and slides through the guides a bit better.

I've never had trouble with the alberto so that's what I use.

How did you do in the Master's?  Never mind I just saw it.

FG knot is the best absolutely for fluorocarbon to braid. I will admit it’s harder to tie

Not a knot that I'll ever use, but this guy doesn't make it look hard at all

I’ve had 5 hand surgeries and am waiting on #6.  I really like it but it took me quite a while to tie.  So I decided to get the FG knot tool.  The tool helped but I kept dropping the leader tag end and I had trouble serving the knot so I made a couple of gizmos to take care of those issues.  No it just takes a few minutes to tie it.
