In my videos I test different fishing gadgets that are available on the market (Amazon and not only) so that you could decide for yourself if you actually need one or not. The majority of them do not have the instruction on how to use them and it can be very frustrating when you don't know how to use the tool you've just purchased or are planning to buy...

The most important step in tying the FG knot was left out. Never fish the knot the way it was tied in this video. You need to tension the knot after 2 half hitches. Then you can finish it off more half hitches or a uni.
correct! else there's risk for becoming sort of loose with the casts.
He didn’t use half hitches. He use half inches
Strange that every video I have seen with this tool nobody finishes by adding tension after 2 half hitches. I was going to point it out as I just came across this nice tool and wasn't going to buy until I saw your post stating the truth.
I like the concept- it keeps things more compact during the tying process vs using your rod length and wrapping around your fingers or using your teeth for braid tension. It controls the line from inadvertently getting tangled or the wind affecting the tag ends, etc.
thx mate. the tool is a gamechanger, at least for me. I fish light lines, not the heavy one, which are thick as a rope as you see in most of the videos. this tool works excellent with thin braided lines and leaders.
Excellent video! I have this knot tying tool.
Fishmadpro, This device is more practical for fishing on board than the knot machine you presented in the other video
Honestly, to me, this one is way better than the electric one...
Thanks you so much for video. 🙏🙏😊😊
Wowaweewa! Verry nice!
good info... tq 👍👍❤❤✌✌
awesoome, thanks
Thanks!
Nice tools
You don't need tools at all for FG knot, just run the braided line through your rod than wrap the braided line a few times around your pinky finger, pull the line with your finger for tension and wrap the leader line around the braided line. Make sure the last wrap of the leader line is pointing toward your rod so that you can make the half hitch knots.
You're right you don't need tools. Takes me less than a minute. If you tie it a lot you get faster. Double about 10 in of line you wrap it around your pinkie insert your index finger and thumb inside the loop forming a tight circle. That makes you r tight intersection of braid. 20 wraps then a quick 2 halfs then finish w renzetti.
I've been lucky growing up as fly tyer so my fingers work well. Lots of whip finishing on flys never used a tool.
Some people aren't that agile with their fingers, alsowith age and sickness like parkinson or arthritis an FG knot can be impossible :(
ill just stick to double uni =\. FG not for me after watching this but still a great video for those that choose it.
No disrespect! But this video got me thinking... Me and my father used to go fishing using "soup cans" and we tied our hooks the exact same way we tied our "shoe laces". Never had a single problem and we always had a successful fishing trip time and time again! Looking at all these new gadgets today, makes me think "why do we make it complicated?" No need man! Sincerely no need! Grab an old fashion ZEBCO reel if you want and have a blast! Make a fishing device using a "soup can" and have a blast, it is really that simple! Is all love man! Enjoy being outside, enjoy the water, enjoy the company, make new memories!
Fully agree with you! In the old days, we used to use very simple setups for fishing without all of those fancy gadgets, feeders, tools, etc. If you can do it all with your hands, then there's no point in having these gadgets, but if you have issues with your hands or fingers, some of them might be a life savor...
@@fishmadpro7210 Try catching a 40lb Grouper or high speed trolling for Wahoo with a soup can. Simple is not always better for all types of fishing. I agree you can go simple, I see people fishing with Cuban YoYo's here in South Florida and they do great with simple setups to catch smaller fish like Mangrove Snapper, etc. You need high tech knots and heavy duty equipment for certain types of fishing. I use this knot specifically to attach braid to mono which is a great way to have a shock leader or wind on leader that passes through your rod tip and eyelets without damaging the rod. 80lb braid to 100 pound mono with this knot is incredibly strong.
well done
You need to pull the braId so it bites into the leader or it will just slip off no matter how many half hitches you do to tie it off.
This was fantastic. Thank you. I'm getting one.
The gadget is honestly great! It's better than the electronic one, and you have to try really hard in order to break it...👌
That looks way harder than just tying it without the gadget.
did just that....ps great information.
Wow there’s 3 knots in one, kinda cool but it sure took a long time. There’s a lot of knots out there just as strong using no tools tied a lot faster but I do love gadgets and ingenuity.
This is taking more time than just knotting it
Nice video. Does the direction of the half hitches matter? It appeared you reversed the direction during each 4 half hitches of the braided line.
Hello John. Not really, as long as you do minimum of 4 over two lines (braid and leader) and 4 over the braid when you cut the leader. Don't forget to burn the tag end of a leader in the end as it makes this knot much stronger...
@@fishmadpro7210 , Thanks!
An easy way I tie this without a tool is I wrap the braid 4-5 times around my left pinky, set the mono behind my neck and wrap it around my left pointer finger while keeping tension which leaves me full maneuverability to wrap the line around the braid with my right hand if you do exactly that it's very fast and efficient.
Does it matter what pointer finger you use?
@@randyeggleston7138 I use my left pointer finger kinda like im doing a rockstar symbol with my fingers spread far apart using my pinky as well to maintain tension, providing full maneuverability with your right hand and vice versa if your left handed. (I wrap the braid around my pinky make a couple wraps in the knot then wrap the mono/fluoro around my pointer finger allowing more maneuverability and in my opinion a more tightly woven and sleeker profile)
@@Gstar5150 that’s exactly what my Grandma told me that’s how she tied it when she was a little girl, but there was a lot of confusion of course do to the rock n roll music for the youngsters hadn’t come out so people really didn’t know if that was an actual knot manipulation with the pointer pinky, or if it was an up and coming gang sign. We played it safe and tied in complete concealment.
Hi whats the smallest braid or leader size that you can use on this knot tool ?
Hey. Well, those slots, when clipped, will hold even the smallest one you can think of (I've just tested that with 0.14mm line)...
In all the research and viewings I've seen on the FG knot I've never seen the tag of the leader line used to make the locking knot (1st half-hitch). I don't know what that means for knot integrity; just an observation.
That step actually defeats the whole purpose of the FG knot, which uses the same physics as a Chinese finger trap to hold the leader in place. If you add the half hitch, you are adding bend in the leader, the lack of which is the advantage of the FG in the first place. A that point, you may as well just use a double uni, which while slightly thicker, is far easier to tie.
@@pfconrey I’ve used this tool, and although you form the knot with the leader, the knot actually transfers to the braid as you tighten, and the integrity of the leader is maintained.
I like it. But I do not burn the braid. I put several drops of CA glue along the knot. This protects the knot from abrasion caused by the guides. Your knot will last much longer.
Think the uni is not necessary, excellent FG tool though
bonjour
Génial je l'ai commandé et fait le nœud avec.
Par contre les dernières boucles j'ai fait
pareil mais ensuite la boucle avant de la
serré j'ai retourné la boucle en sens inverse
pour que la la tresse que l'on va couper soit
vers le côté du bas de ligne et le leurre
la glisse est plus que parfaite 🤗
Is this DJSL Vapes
Wheres the tensioning step?
Jeez, that's a lot of knot
I do it with the braid held in my teeth tensioned by a leaning rod,. Seems a lot easier..
If this easiest way with tool for FG , i can continue prefer to crystal knot :)
You just reminded me to clean my cats litter box, thanks!
🤣Never forget about your pets👌😁
Isn't the whole point to the fg knot is that there's no knot in the leader 🤔
Absolutely! This is a clown video
I met the old guy that made the first tool one day a few years ago
Merci pour la démonstration qui est très bien réalisée, mais je trouve cet accessoire inutile (je peux le dire car j'en ai un). L'idéal est d'utiliser la canne et son moulinet.
Mais la vidéo est jolie.
Hello whats the size of the tool
Hey. The size of the tool is: 7.09 x 4.09 x 1.57 inches.
Thanks mate
Omg
8 min. I could have been fishing by now.
8 minutes for a knot is a little too long?
When you are using the tool for the 2nd time and also need to speak on camera, it takes time. With practice, it takes less than 2 min.
Nice gadget. But I’ve tied so many of these knots I can do it with my eyes shut.
In that case, you don't need it!👌👍
the problem with this knotter is that there;s not enough room for longer FG knots required for fishing badass fishes like amberjacks, big bonitos/ albacores and of course deep blacks like groupers. For these trophies the length of the FG knot has to be at least something like 4cm, impossible with the knotter. Another alternative is to make a custom knotter, using 2x sushi sticks mounted on a flat wooden surface, glued on it, distance 35cm, on top of them glue corks, cut in the mid section of the corks a trough for line/leader and do same procedure like in this video. The FGs will be longer.
Thx for the advice!👍
Ρε you got a video of this ?
Can anybody explain to me why my knot always goes the opposite direction? Every video I see it moves towards the tool, mine goes away, and I’m ready to lose mind because I CANNOT TIE KNOTS!!!!
Just calm down...probably you are doing something wrong. There is no rush while you are practicing with it. In time, you'll smile while remembering these frustrations. Don't give up and all will work out well! We all can tie knots one way or another...🎣👍
@@fishmadpro7210thanks for the kind words. But as a 48 year old welder fairly new to fishing, my hands just don’t like tying knots!!!!
I was told once that the strongest knot for fishing is one that you can tie correctly
This is way harder then doing it by hand...
how so?
Ive lost the will to live.
good tools, but never gonna be a good FG without having the braid sinking into the leader.
If that's the easier way to tie the knot, I would be scared to see the old fashion way, because that still took a solid 7 minutes to tie.....
Ooh sank you
Its like being 3 years old again , and learning to tie your shoes. Just keep doing a overhand knot 40 times , it will stay. If I had to tie this knot on a kayak , or even on land to insure I did not lose fish. I think I would quit fishing. This is way to much to secure a braid line against mono. Absolutely way way over done. Unless you are fishing for say 100 pound plus tuna or something. I just do not see it being practical. I'm not spending 15 minutes to tie my line fumbling with some tool.
You made me laugh...👍🤣I'm just showing the tools that exist there, and it is a personal choice of each to use it or not... If you can do it by hand or use other knots that work well for the type of fish you are fishing, then you don't need it...
That is my philosophy on this knot- the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I use an Uncle Jim Tool and tie an Alberto knot using it. Any joining knot will catch on the rod tip eyelet if you are pitching and the knot goes through it.
i know he is showing the knot but still took him almost 8 minutes using that, too much time left away if you are on the water.
for 40 pound i would wont it to tie itself...
Good point👍 You can always tie FG by hand...
Tip Don’t waste your money on this gadget. I purchased one and found it no good on heavy line, now I tie all my FG knots by hand
looks cumbersome.
That tool is nice but not necessary. Don't get me wrong, I like it but so do the company that makes it, hence the price. I can better use that money to buy better fluorocarbon like Sunline
Just use your rod and reel arm it's the same without having to buy gadgets like this
shouldn't have to burn the leader because it shouldn't be sticking out in the first place!
Half “hitch”, not half “inch”
Ce n'est pas la bonne façon de terminer le noeud.
손으로 해도 다 되는데 저걸 굳이 머하러 복잡하게 쓰냐...
too big at the end
I can do it faster than the knot assist
En français on dit nul😂
Just use your fingers
Broke the tool first knot
I'm not sure how it can be broken unless you have received it damaged... When I was doing the video, it was my second time I've used it, and all worked out well...
The knot isn’t how I learned,
I tried this tool not good I don’t recommend it
too complicated..
What a painful video, and what the hell is a half inch???
Worst contraption ever. I tied faster FG knots with the rizzoto finish just by hands
That is the most complicated knot tying I have ever seen. A simple double uni knot would work much better. And no tool needed .
Hello John. Double uni knot is not as strong and reliable as FG knot I've showed...
Uni is weak. And it's also thick, it damages the eyelets in the guides. FG with rizzuto finish is easier on guides. FG is twice as strong as well. This video definitely overcomplicates the knot but I promise it's easy.
@@QuicksilverdotFX I confirm, it's very easy in fact when you did it 3 or 4 times
It’s worth it. And after a little practice it’s not bad.
Cool tool, terrible knot tying. You need to relearn how to tie the fg knot.
That's not an FG knot. FG is wrapped 21 times and a uni knot is not used.
I swear- the FG Knot cult is worse than some religion purists I've come across....
That is an ugly FG knot. Too many hitches and you don't need the finish at the end. Guaranteed to snag.
That is one ugly looking fg knot
This nonsense is for people for whom fishing is not enough of a hobby and they also want a knot-tying hobby.
Absolute BS!
Also fg knot is the hardest and idiotic knot ever! Definitely not worth it to try and tie with fg knot!
😂😂😂 if you can't tie a FG knot by hand then using this tool will make it suck even more lol. Not practical at all.
I thought you have to tie the half hitch knot with the braid but he did the half hitch knot with the fluoro or mono 😅
If you need a tool to help you tie your knots you shouldn’t be out there fishing! This thing is silly and takes WAY to long to tie a knot. I would have 5 fish in the boat by the time you get your leader on
I bet you don't have many clients with the way you like to mock things and people.
@@cuivre2004 k
@@cuivre2004 people appreciate honest
@@Texaslivinoutdoors Being "honest" does not preclude being tactful as well. But I actually think you only act this way on-line. Maybe "Keyboard Commando Kayak Outfitters" would be a better name?
@@cuivre2004 haha I wish that was the case but unfortunately I’m the same way in person
You've got to be kidding. With a little practice you can tie an FG better and faster with your hands. Waste of time and money...
I'm showing the gadgets that exist, and it's a personal choice of each one whether to buy or not to buy... Many people have issues with hands or fingers, and for those, this gadget might be very useful...
Wow ! I could tie this 3 times in the time this clown did it! And I do it properly!
ช้ามาก ไม่ทันใจ
What a lot of faffing about for a simple knot
