[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 444449, member: 13702"] Love the FG knot - nothing better IMO. Word to anyone trying it for the first time - if it's failing it's because you're tying it wrong. It took me a number of break offs & re-watching YouTube tutorials to get it right - being neat and keeping it tight as you tie it are very important, as is how you tie the half hitches to terminate - alternate them going over and under the mainline. I tie two (one over one under) over the fluoro leader and another two (again one over one under) on the mainline alone. Once I started that I haven't had another failure in 2+ years using it.
