The FG Knot= Braid to Flouro or Mono Leader

Anyone using this? I have several friends using it on light lines / leaders up to heavy saltwater lines with great success. New for me this year.

Way too much work...and my dentist would not be happy! Looks like a great knot!


Time to go fishin' again!

I'm way too old to learn to tie that. Uni to Uni is a pain, but easier than this one. Haven't had one fail yet. I just use a really long leader so I don't have to re-tie often.

It's actually pretty easy once you see what's going on with the line.

It is just like a wind on knot used in offshore fishing. One exception is the use of a bic lighter to melt the 100lb mono after the cut and liberal use of no-knot.
