TIE THE STRONGEST RATED BRAID TO MONO FISHING KNOT! (It’s not the FG KNOT)

****Please Note•••• all the knots tested and rated by the IFGA were tied to a Bimini Twist mono leader line. There is no guarantee in any of the knot strength ratings unless you tie the knot using a Bimini Twist leader line. In this demonstration, I did not use a Bimini Twist Leader line.

Ultraviolet Light assisted tutorial, it makes the fishing line easy to see!

YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT THE STRONGEST RATED BRAID TO MONO OR BRAID TO FLOURO KNOT IS. THIS FISHING KNOT BEAT THE FG KNOT AND 50 OTHER BRAID TO MONO KNOTS WHEN TESTED BY THE IGFA! THIS TUTORIAL DEMONSTRATES HOW TO TIE THE WINNING VARIATION OF THE GT KNOT. THIS KNOT IS SUPER EASY TO TIE AND THE STRONGEST BRAIDED FISHING LINE TO MONOFILIAMENT FISHING LINE OR FLOUROCARBON FISHING LINE. ENJOY!

I've set up my own tests on these same knots and used different brands and thicknesses of both mono and braid lines.
Without intending any arguments or disputes but the winner was : *FG knot (wins every time)*

Best tutorial ever! Most tutorials I end up rewinding a lot of times because I can't see where or how the lines were twisted, looped, tied, etc. Here I can see everything.

Thank you

Finally....someone who knows to how to do a proper knot tutorial! good job

[davefave]

Excellent tutorial; nice and slow, well explained...

I have the use of only my left arm/hand due to a motorcycle accident and tying knots is the bane of my life, especially when on a windy bank! - hours of practice at home with multiple pairs of artery forceps holding tag ends...

I may put up a video of myself tying knots with one hand to give y'all a laugh!

Anything to make life easier on the bank improves fishing efficiency!

Nice one!

using a black light to make the lines easy to see is a stroke of genius, love this!

[nonchalant]

I’ve seen this explained so many times but this was the best explanation by far!

The FG is not just because of strength but also it's ability to go through guides with ease

[delwigzieful]

Been using the double uni for years never let me down use it on salt water and fresh water Awesome.Para

Used this GT or Nail Knot this past weekend. Worked excellent against BF Tuna. Will never go back to other knots when using braid .The best knot I’ve used so far.🤙Thank you

[birvie]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Finally a braid-to-mono knot that these 68 year fingers can tie. And I got it tied the first time I tried it. Great tutorial video.

I’ll have to give this knot a try. I have been using the FG knot for the past couple of years for my inshore setups. Prior to the FG, I was primarily using a double uni knot. I like the FG knot because of the small profile, and it goes through rod guides much easier. It took a while to learn to tie the FG, but once I became proficient with it, it became much easier to tie. I haven’t experienced any issues with the strength of the FG. This knot may be a good replacement for the double uni for my surf and offshore setups, since I still use double uni with heavier braid and mono lines. Great job on the video. A lot of knot tying videos are difficult to see in detail but this was very clear and easy to follow.

Oh my. Absolutly amazing. Best leader knot tutorial out there by far!! Thank you

[pompeyo]

This is how you teach someone how to tie a knot, even me with my, all the gear no idea found it so easy to follow, nice one, subscribed

[kevinbigby]

Nice video. The FG has the advantage of not having a tag end catching on the eyes of the pole during the cast. I find this especially valuable with lighter spinning gear as knots with leading tag ends tend to catch eyelets and create unresolvable blow ups.

[Rubibi-saltwaterjim]

I like the mono side of the knot. I usually use a double uni however the mono side of that often has a deformity especially tying on the boat. This uses a uni type knot for the braid and the mono knot is a lot quickler to tie. Thanks for the great background and lighting.

[raulsanchez]

Man that blue light is a great idea. It makes the line pop

[HunterRoberts-pvsj]

i have been searching for braid to leader knots for ages thank you so much this has been the best and easiest one so far

[screwascreenname]

Finally a tutorial using fishing line that you can actually see and follow. Great video!!

[carlphelps]

Worlds strongest knot. I’ll definitely learn this one. Went fishing today and used the knot from your last video. I love the fact that it didn’t make that “tink, tink, tink, “ sound going threw the guide eyes like you get when I use the uni to uni knot. If this one is the same I’ll love it to. Might get to try it Sunday, if this wind will die down, it’s terrible out there on open water. Thanks again for another informative video brother, be good and stay strong. # REACHTHEBEACH#
