Once you've learned to tie the FG correctly its hard to use any other knot. Took me a while to convert, but there no turning back now!

Someone posted on my facebook feed the easiest FG method I have ever seen and worked first time me! To the point where I could pull this off in a kayak if need be...

The key seems to be keeping tension on the braid while tying the knot.

Yep, helps a lot, I also found pulling the mono tight after each wrap neatens to knot up a lot too. But that method seriously works a treat, every other vid I've found just seems too hard to be practical to me, this is the first I've seen that make me feel like I could easily do it fishing, not just at home in 'preparation'.

That video has been all over FB for the last few weeks now, not sure who started it but i'm glad they did, by far the easiest way to tie i've come across

I've always struggled to tie the fg knot. Started using the knot in above video yesterday. So easy to tie. And super strong. Wont be using anything else from now on

Im in the same boat, found several videos with different methods to tie the knot, but could never get it quite right so went back to uni, albrights, etc. After that video, can now change every braid setup I have to FG no worries.

Hey guys, I recently have shy'd away from using the FG knot and in the last few days i've tried to start tying them again. I can seem to tie 5lb and up easily, but when trying to tie in 3 and 4lb, it breaks at the leader end everytime. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks heaps for sharing that mate, when I get home from work I'm going to give that a crack! Hopefully I can get the knot right for the first time.

Looking forward to tying the FG in bigger line classes, but think I'll just stick with the double uni when it comes to bream fishing. Great thread fellas!
