good video, I'm sending this note to several fishing YouTube channels for your consideration. I'm a knot guy. I'm old but still learning. I just ordered a bobbin for a PR knot and was watching your videos regarding knot strength. I've never seen any videos that cover knot strength mention one of the most important factors when fighting fish, and it plays in the selection of a knot to use. That factor is reel drag. I fish in-shore almost exclusively anymore. Lighter lines and leaders, many sources of abrasion, fish with razor-sharp gill covers and teeth, etc., all have to be dealt with. The spinning reels I use are usually in the 2000-4000 weight range. From hands-on tests, I found that my reels' drags top out at about 15 pounds and sometimes less, no matter what the manufacturers say. Deep sea reels I've used, top that, of course. I watch many tests of knot strength and wonder why fishermen get excited when knot strength far exceeds the maximum drag their reels can hold.
Don't get me wrong, I like a strong knot, however, time to tie those fancy knots is not worth the frustration from sweaty hands, pitching boats, missing fish action, etc. just to tie the latest and greatest. I ordered the PR bobbin because it seems pretty much idiot proof and fast enough to justify its use. I also like the size of the knot for going through the line guides a few hundred times a day from casting lures. Maybe in the future acknowledge the entire system that holds the fish, i.e.; reel drag to line to knot to leader to terminal knot. They all play a role.

Exactly the same as the FG, both are great,
Learnt them both today. Excellent stuff ❤

Tried the albrite, tried the fg, this one looks complicated also. I have some reties at night, rapala fishing for bass. When I need a quick simple knot I tie the double or single uni.

Good tips. Any tips on using an improvised bobbin. Say you are in the boat and forget that took at the dock or drop it into the briney.

[gannon]

Wow it's like a super crazy blood knot. Never seen the dental floss to smooth it out. great video, thanks.

[frederickk]

Another good tuition, I like the dental floss tip.

[Shark_n_Shoot]

What are those souped up braid scissors??

[AllanO]

Any good for mono to mono shock leader?

[ShorrockPaul]

This is old school PR. It has been tested that doing the first wraps with space between them then wrap back with tight wraps over the top. And dont need 3 inches 1.5 to 2 inches is strong. . Nice video though and like the dental floss trick

[supersnake]

The dental floss trick blew my mind. No more superglue

[Galvoflysoz]

hahahah "Ive wound about 200mm onto the bobbin" then after hes wrapped the knot pulls out about a meter and there's still heaps on the spool. You'd want to be getting your braid cheap :)

[Muskyfishn]

which shimano bobbin for 20 lb braid to 10 or 12 lb fluoro?

[JigEmUp]

You make it look so easy mate. I always did it without a bobbin the hard way. Your method with the bobbin looks so easy even on a rockin’ boat in 10ft seas! Lol
Just curious if you ever use the FG knot? My buddies did several tests with the same test flouro and braid and the FG knot won every time and broke at at higher load put on it and most of the time the braid broke instead of the knot. Just curious.
Great vid! P.S-what model number is that from Shimano?

[YL-mcoz]

Can anyone please explain what the difference is in the quality of the knot between FG and PR ? Thanks in advance to the assistants

[tomnguyen]

Hi, where can i buy the tool you using to connecting the braid to mono. Thanks in advance

[larrylunak]

PR knot requires tool and is too complicated …. If you master FG you are in good shape …. How many times do you use drags above 30 lbs? Only really time is really huge fish such as GBFT etc… and other videos show a little benefit for PR but not practical knot and does it have much of a practical application

[maineoutdoorsman]

Why not just run it up the braid like in the other videos.just like ur top shot

[AaronMendo]

Ur gotta be joking. Not ezy knot. Rocking in 1m seas. Trying do this

[johnsmith-xdej]

Of Course you will say Shimano is best Bobbin because your wearing a Shimano Shirt! Are u kidding me?😂

[steveculpan]

Lousy video poor close up background too bright and lose detail of knot.
