I’ve started using it recently. It’s bit intimidating at first, and a few places during the knot that you can mess up and cause failures, but once you get it down a few times it’s not bad at all. Good knot. I’ve been using your lighter trick I saw on an older video.
Never have a break at my knot, but I don’t tie the fg. Great knot , bot not a crazy Alberto gets the job done every time for me. Remember the best knot is the one you can tie well.
I hadn’t seen that half hitch in the flouro before Seth. Had a couple FGs pull out when I was twitching flukes or frogs. That trick will cure my issues. Thanks!
I only fish an Albright and I’ve never had a break at my knot. HOWEVER; if you cut the braid too short and you have quality, slick braid, it will slip out. tying an overhand on the braid and cutting that tag a little long is a good idea.
Do not do an overhand knot on the fluoro, this will be the thickest part of the knot and defeats the purpose of the FG. Instead do a Rizzuto finish, or just tension the knot properly after laying down the first half hitch.

I use the Alberto too but I’m thinking about adopting that lighter idea for my tag ends haha

Thanks for watching!
Once you learn the FG you never go back.
Or just use straight Fluorocarbon and not worry about it.
fg knot gets super easy when you get it down. I can get a full leader setup under a minute now. Its a great knot and super strong.
I think I have two rewatch this 10 more times
It will be worth the extra effort to learn both, but you won't be sorry you did.
FG is my go to now. Started off with the alberto which was great but FG is just so fun to tie and the strength of it is unmatched.
The best there is!
After a little practice, I find the Rizzuto finish easier, cleaner and more reliable than the half hitches finish. Great video!
Thanks for tuning in!

never did the overhand on the flouro... will give it a try and see hwo it goes
FG is the only one....I do 21 wraps....
That black popper w a hint of chartreuse looks edible
That's the Storm Arashi Cover Pop in Green Gill! Awesome color
Are a Modified Albright and a Crazy Alberto the same thing?
I know how to tie the knot. I’m just here to listen to Seth speak
He has a way with words! 😂
