FG KNOT, easy, fast, without tension, its totally awesome. Wayne Groomes

Thanks for watching, I have redone this video, the previous was uploaded 3 years ago. Several viewers complained that it was out of screen on occasion so it was time to give it another run. The FG Knot is completed without tension and is super easy to do. Well worth a look.

Please introduce yourself or ask questions in the comments field. We try to upload several videos per month covering all things fishing in the SEQ. My aim is to help you catch a few more fish for a feed.

Looking forward to the light line version, i fail big time at tying this knot on 6lb, lol

[OverlandPNW]

That knot's a thing of beauty! New S=U=B here !

[Kookaburra]

Love the videos mate, do you recommend this with light line too or is there an easier knot for people like me with fat fingers haha. Cheers.

[robertbrandywine]

You never did the light line version. I tried this with 17 lb. mono and 20 lb. braid and couldn't get it done.

[tuberider]

cheers - simplest one I have seen - I have seen people tying two half hitches over both lines - and then after cutting the leader tag they do even more to give it a smooth taper. Given that you have used your method of years with no grief - I wonder if you any thoughts on the extra knots or whether that's overkill?

[joras]

Was that the mono tag or the braided line tag at the end

[waynemee]

Omg, they going to bombard you with the fancy mushroom risotto finish. I don't want to be critical of what you do because you are a bit of a champion, but it would be interesting to see that done in the feild vs the bench. Thx champ.

[UnsulliedFishermann]

Awesome vid! Can you strength test no tension FG knot vs with tension FG knot please.

[wadej]

I like do 3 half hitches before i pull the fg together just for peace of mind and then 3 or more just to cover the cut end of the leader line so theres no hard mono edge showing.

I’ve successfully tied it as low as 6lb the knot has to be around 2.5cm long I do 70 individual wraps.... I find 4lb impossible the knot just slips out

[joras]

Ending is unclear, tied 5 x keeps coming apart, which tag end Is it tied over which line at the end ?

[MrWalko]

I tried it, but the moment I tried putting any tension on it, the whole thing unravelled...

Excellent thank you 😊 I like the birds eye view
