Awesome bro thanks. I tried this already. works great. this is now my go-to knot going forward. Exactly what I needed...I can tie this knot without having to applying too much tension to the line. I got it right on the first try, from this video. The way you end the knot is what convinced me. Caught a sharp nose brown skate yesterday(about 6kg) and a snapper salmon(2kg), was targeting bigger fish but they weren't around...from South AFRICA KZN North Coast.
I think Hook and Rigs are both right and this pretty much relies on the circumstances. Light braid and leader call for simpler knots splicing to catch smaller prey. Blood knots, double uni’s, Alberto’s, etc. are faster to tie and will hold steady up to 15 pounds or so. Big dogs calling for heavy gear are going to need, PR, FG, or SC splices to boat those bad boys.
That's a lot of half hitches you got going on! FG locks itself into the Mono. FG is far quicker and holds great! My FG's looks similar when done so there's no need for this. Thanks though.
FG for casting, PR for jigging. You need twice as much surface for the braid when doing an PR knot, but its a definite goto knot when it comes to heavyweight jigging for large fish.
But can it be tied in .6 PE to a 7# fluoro leader? I love seeing it done without a bobbin, but it seems like cinching the knot properly would break or permanently damage light fluorocarbon.
'Chinese finger trap' AKA 'FG knot'... technically the most reliable and slim knot for tying braid to mono and even braid to braid... all the others tries to follow the same old Chinese principle but with more braided line and efforts, FG can be done in less than 60 seconds and if tied well will give 100 percent of the line breaking strength.
There's no need for any half hitches. Wrap, tighten, finish with a whipping knot. These knots work by biting into the leader material, and they hold tighter the more tension is placed on the working end. The only thing the hitches or whipping knot do is hold the entire thing together when there isn't tension on it
@@phantomshtter this isn't necessary and only makes the knot bulkier and harder to cast through the guides. Do your wraps and immediately tie the rizutto/whipping knot to cap the tag end and keep tension on the wraps, and the entire thing stays no larger than the diameter of the leader
You need to do your multiple half-hitches in alternate directions so they lock against each other. Also, the Risuto finish isn’t a resilient synch because It locks in the opposing direction to the fishing forces and eventually unravels. If you must use jt, lock it with super glue. A better finish is 4 or 5, “3” loop half-hitches, tied in opposing directions. Just say’in … 😉
@@ryand8461 the "rizutto" is a whipping knot that holds itself in place. It's stronger than any number of half hitches. If it's coming undone, you're not tying it right
The "rizutto" is just a whipping knot used to jam the non operative side of the knot in place and hold it together. It doesn't see any "fishing forces," only the forces required to hold the wraps in place, which tighten under tension anyway.
Same here, went tuna casting the other day and my rizzuto's all came undone leaving just my initial 4~5 half hitches which stayed locked in place. IF you look at the Rizzuto closely, you can figure out that the braid is pulling in the opposite direction as the rizzuto, which i figure is unraveling the knot.
@Ryan D I even use loon knot sense, and it still comes undone. Im no expert, but i did stay in a holiday inn express last night. In my opinion, it's the casting and the tag end of the rizzuto hitting the guides.
A properly done rizzuto cannot come undone, only wear out after continuous bumping through the rings. Never had one come undone. Maybe you are not doing it right.
Everyone saying fg is stronger than pr, your wrong, yes you can tie the fg quicker, but you can do the PR knot pretty quick too if you're done it a few times, i went to the Three kings for a 5 day charter, you battle with huge kingfish all day up to 50KG's and thats all they tie, the PR knot cause its the most strongest and reliable knot. Braid to Mono.
Never lost a FG knot in a decade of fishing even in heavy snags. All losses were at the hook end. So much smaller and neat especially good when using casting long leaders through micro rings.
@@joedennehy386 yes I am not arguing about the results of the tests provided the knots were consistently done properly. Just stating my experience using the FG for more than a decade. Important thing is that the knot has never failed before the swivel or hook joint.
@@davedesmond2624 yes you're right. It's always the weakest link that gives way. Most of the time it's the mono or fluoro knot that 8s the weakest not the braid to mono/fluoro joint.
A PR knot is indeed stronger than the FG knot but not this particular one. It needs a proper lead in. A straight 90 degrees barrel wrap up and then back down makes for a very weak PR knot. Not to mention it is very time consuming compare to the FG knot.
Shiamano has a tool to tie this knot.. it’s about a $70 tool but it’s a lot faster and more consistent. I only use this knot when I have long leaders on trolling gear.. not something that I tie when I’m on the boat..
you can tie a 1.5 oz sinker to the braid and just spin it 30x around the mono and back again in under 15 seconds, then cut sinker off and finish the knot.
Would rather tie a double Albright or double Alberto. If you need smaller knot just tie them single . Both quicker and easier to tie properly and both very strong and reliable. Because if a knot not done correctly, about as well just tie an old Slipknot with an over hand knot in the end of the line to stop it from slipping thru the slip knot.
Right, I bought a tool to tie FG knots and it is lost somewhere in the bottom of my tackle bag. I can tie a FG by hand pretty quick. Plus I have never had one fail if tied properly.
Kind of defeats the purpose of the pure FG. Just added bulk to hit the guides, losing casting distance, and absolutely no strength gain, as it is not the working end of the knot. We could go a mile with 1/2 hitches and the knot will not be stronger, but bulkier and stiffer making it longer. After the 1st 3 1/2 hitches, i cut the leader very close, then the rizutto butts against it perfect. Low profile, protect the very end of the braid. The shorter the length of the knot the more micro guide friendly. Never had a rizutto come undone. Had 1/2 hitches come undone in the past why I switched to the rizutto.
Form and function are more important than the little gain in knot strength which becomes irrelevant if the knot failure occur at other knots like the swivel or hooks.
Absolutely Kevin, never had a problem with any knot when tied properly, once again too many incredulous people putting in their three cents worth and over analysing a simple knot( reminds me of the nz fishing forum).
The video is good but this knot has a fatal flaw and it bumps pretty hard on the top guide. There's a reason why the FG knot is considered the number one leader to braid connection, because it's frickin awesome.
This is because he ties it incorrectly. After you cut off the tag end of the mono you continue making wraps. When the line is going through the guides it first comes in contact with these wraps. This is the correct way.
Fg sería más correcto pero hasta hora no veo a nadie que lo aga bien fácil rápido cuando uno necesitaría un nudo fino que no tenga Tato rose en los pasa hilos y resistente como para un dorado de 20 kilos
Forgot something let see it tied when you are in the boat in the water 30 wraps in both directions then all the alternating 1/2 hitches it aint happening. Break that leader and use a different rod til you get back home in your shop or inside to tie another leader on. Oh don't have a duplicate set up better use an easier knot.
This knot tied with a bobbin, 12 alternating half hitches, up to a mushroom on the leader, then finished with a risutto is the strongest knot at 99%. The fg and Allbright are 70% knots
you have to tie this knot inside the boat with a good ripple because you have cut it in steps.. no thanks,,, I won't leave the breakfast I just ate in the sea,...
Albright is easier.Try doing this with a pe 0,4 braid and a 0,14 fluoro.All the lines in these videos with fh knots are for big fish and mostly inpractical when fishing with light gear,lrf or light spinning,on a rocky surface or a boat moving by the waves.
I tied a double uni knot and caught 6 fish while you were tying this.
Same here!! Quick to tie, & easy thru guides, I hit it with a dot of super glue and it never frays or fails.
I just learned FG and I'm not going to replace it ever 😅

You,re welcome sir
this knot, from which sections and above should it be made? Thanks allot
thank's
Demo shows ideal conditions ( very thick leader ). With lighter leaders this becomes impractical.
Absolutely correct. (Same with FG.) For lighter leaders, I use the Alberto or even the old standby double-uni.
@@HookLineSinger u can still fg with lighter leaders, u just need thin braid and do more wraps

I fish with Slim-Beauty knot, i don't do casting but only bottom fishing under the boat, it's OK 100%
FG for casting, PR for jigging.

.6 PE? As in 0.6mm? Wouldn't that be like 150lb test?
@@dizzious u clearly dont know how pe ratings work, 0.6 pe is like 6-14lbs
PR is one way braided grip to leader..but FG two way crossing,,so,fg knot more strong than pr...just my 20cent
By the time you tie this knot the days fishing is over.
이매듭이 fg note와 견줄만 한가요?
Seems good. But how to tie the hook with such heavy mono. Unless the hooks eye is big. 😯

This one takes a lot longer than the FG knot. I will practice this one so I can compare it to the FG knot. Thanks
@sharky7742 not sure why being from Bangladesh is of concern. The knot method is what I'm interested in. So...
certainement un très bon nœud de raccord faut surtout pas casser sinon le temps de le refaire est énorme !!!!!!

Too many half hitches makes the knot chunky. I’ve never had a Risuto finish come undone 🤷🏻♂️
Didn’t he do them in alternate directions??
yes risuto unravels pretty quickly during casting. I now do half hitches 8~10 times and really just lock it down.

This pretty much an FG created differently.
How do u keep the rizzuto from undoing? After some so many times thru the guides, my rizzuto comes undone even if it's burned

Super ❤
The idea is same to fg knot...
PR knot Is perfect but he need 40/50 cm of braid.... This Is the only defect
This is the one I'm using, Thanks
Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!
2 hours later we are ready to fish

What knot are they tying to lure? Crimp?
@@MaverickCashI've heard a g chain knot is best for jigs
I have never tied one but only heard good things about it. Thank you!

The pr knot is stronger on a line testing machine, despite your experience

Is this also called a slim beauty??
Looks like a lot more work than the FG
the best and easy one is GT knot
👍👍
It’s like you had in three different knots to one
By the time you finish this one I'll tie 321 slim beauty knots
A PR knot is indeed stronger than the FG knot but not this particular one. It needs a proper lead in. A straight 90 degrees barrel wrap up and then back down makes for a very weak PR knot. Not to mention it is very time consuming compare to the FG knot.
fg's absolutely more versatile, there are few fishing applications where its necessary to tie a PR
Having used the FG for more than a decade none of these come close to it's size.
Whats the breaking strength of this knot?
depends on how heavy your line is and how good the knot it

Better to use a bobbin to make sure there is lot of tension in braid whilst wrapping

Mất quá nhiều thời gian, không thật sự tiện lợi.
So complicated a double uni is smaller and sooo much easier to tie,try this in 30 mph wind on a boat. Good luck I’ll do a lot more fishing
How is this not an FG knot?
How do you not know?
2 hours to tie one knot?
Ain't happening.
True that!
When tying the pr, essential to have correct pressure by using a pr bobbin. Also makes it quick and simple
60 friggin wraps...not really ideal for a tourney situation...imagine in the wind haha... unless you have a couple tied on...i will stick to the fg
Using a bobbin gives a more consistent strength.

Cute, but it takes way too long to tie, to be useful
Just admit it.. FG knot the most practical and reliable
Have you not seen the actual tests, the pr is THE strongest…by test, no arguments
Maybe this knot is suitable for jigging or bottom rigs? Because if I am casting.. I am going for fg instead.
Just need a bobbin knotter
How bout another half hitch ? 😊
Neither is better, they both are practical depending on what your doing
