One for those who struggle with the FG Knot

Found this online the other day. I have never seen this before and will definitely help those who struggle a little with the FG knot. Looks remarkably easy to use and cheap to purchase. Unsure if i am allowed to post up direct product links but here goes.

Used one that a friend had, it didn't end pretty.

Found the easiest way is to use the bottom guide as an anchor point for the braid.

I've tried one and prefer this. Small enough to keep in your pocket.

http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/p...cessories.html

It holds the leader as well, making the FG easier to tie.
Also, I don't tie the 2 half hitches with leader immediately after FG wraps. Just 4 or more half hitches with the braid over the leader, then finish off as in the vid.

Have one of these. As well as 2 knot assist 2.0 tools. Knot assist ties a far nicer knot. Easier to use as well. Id happily give my fg wizz away for free.

It looks like i will be keeping the Knot assist 2 tools i have and not purchasing one of the FGwizz things. Just goes to show that everything you see on the net is not always as good as it is portrayed. Thanks for all the information guys.
