Has Anyone Used The Fg Knot?

Looks fairly easy and very small.

I use it, though tie it a little differently. If you hold the tag in your teeth and have the standing line under a little tension from you rod tip, you can weave the fc over the braid. That makes it much quicker and easier to do the weaving part. Amazing knot. The leader never breaks at the knot and it goes through and sized guide really easily.

Maybe for tuna or marlin, but over-kill for freshwater.

I have had a 100% success rate using the Alberto Knot.

Who uses or needs a leader with hungry fish ?  I just use the braided line tied to whatever. I see 0 difference.

 

Are you fishing for bass or  very spooky virgin trout attacked by eagles 3 times a day ?

A leader has several functions: Abrassion resistance, the ability to be broken-off when necessary

and stealth.
