Fantastic video. Must have taken you an age to piece together. Really really useful, especially the simplest demo of the FG I've ever seen. I'm surprised that you use such a long leader but makes sense. I did try a long leader some time ago but the knot kept catching on the eyes. Probably because my uni-uni knot was the size of a conker 😂😂😂. Will try with this FG approach 😅

Just got a new rod for lure fishing and this is just the video I needed 👌🏼

By FAR, the absolute best UK bass video I have ever had the pleasure of viewing!!!
If this doesn't send Saltwater Angler's channel through the roof, then every non-sub'd bass anglers deserves a year of blanks! 😋
Seriously, Matt, great job, you nailed it!

[Kasero]

Fantastic video, glad YouTube recommended it

Nice one Matt. Great information there with some informative photography, nice. You've got more soft plastics varieties than me and I thought I had lost it! 😂

Tou make the FG knot look so easy Matt! PS I used mono instead of fluoro last season for a leader and had my best summer yet! Top class photography and editing 👍

[TRzest]

I think you are on the pontoon where Lady Margaret is berthed? If so, I have the houseboat on the hammer head. I wish I had seen you there as I would have like to say Hi. Thanks for this clip. I am looking forward to Part 2.

thanks for the video, a tip i use alot on the rapala knot is, always go in/out the overhand loop same way for all passes including the last pass, this way the tag points back to the lure and not out to the side.

Thanks Matt, Always a good watch. Nice to watch the fiddly black minnow being done property - takes ages to get a neat fit - well done. Interesting about your length of fluro’ too. I’ll try a longer one this year maybe. But you’re right - think it’s time to get the lures out 👍🏻 hopefully the hot currents from Spain & France will bring in the big Bass this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
