Unbeaten for 10 years and counting. Put to the test on MASSIVE fish!! Step by step guide, teaching you easily, how to tie this incredible shock absorbing knot.
Been fishing for 35 years mate and I've never seen a knot like this one! I like it, I like it a lot! Ever think about a torch instead of a lighter? It would be good in this situation cause of the directional character of the flame, theres almost zero heat going anywhere but out, you can melt the end and easily avoid the knot being heated or touched. Just a thought..... Do you have any options for leader to line BESIDES the FG??? They seem to fail rather easily no matter how well it's done. Everyone uses it despite this so it makes me wonder if it's the only or best choice, thanks for the post bro.
I have never tried a torch, could be a good option that's for sure. The AG Chain is a very good knot I believe and so easy to tie. I do use a PR knot for braid to leader, are you familiar with them?
@@JEWildsFishing no I'm not. I'm stuck in Kansas City, centered as far from a coast as it gets over here! I've never been out to sea looking for the fishes.😭 Most of the equipment I can either instinctively tell how to use or learn real quick, the lines and leaders I've never had to use before so they're all new to me. The FG looks like a good tie, but I've seen too many slip when it counts! If I lost a 50kg fish that way it would destroy me and keep me from spinning for some time, so before I try to hang with the big dogs, I wanna learn some new bits and pieces.....any help is greatly appreciated!
I used to do more as well, I used to do about 8 hitches but now have shortened it right back. I havent lost much strength but have lost a bit of elasticity. The shortened knot has never failed me ever
Cheers for posting. Not come across this not before. Just watched the Kingy video on Briggsy's channel. Look forward to more content! Great that your other half also is stoked on the fishing!
Hey there mate - thank you for this video! Was wondering why you didn't pass it through the eye of the swivel 2 times before tying the hitches, since this seems to be common practice in other guides?
Give it a try next time, I really like the knot and it's very easy to do. Haha Kat sure did and she even used the knot! Haha thanks for the comment -Joe
@@JEWildsFishing it was beautifully done! Definitely worth tasting it. Nice knot btw, the look of it is amazing. First time seeing the Chain knot.. will be trying that fo' sure.
Why not use the uni knot it is a lot quicker and it seems to work fine for the guys at morning tide for gt, this still looks great though just looks abit complicated when uni works well unless you think otherwise.
The first overhand knot surely weakens the whole chain.. as now you have a crossed line.. any overhand knot in a line weakens it considerably. Just do alternating half hitches all the way and finish as you did. that was tested by sunline at 98.8% strong..
Haha, Kat seems pretty stoked about that Kingy as she should be.
Shes so stoked man! The vids going up on the 1st of January so make sure you have a watch and let us know what you think
Nice knot. Will try it out next weekend's fishing trip.
Do it and good luck with the fishing!
Mean, can't wait use this knot FlyFishing!🤙🏻
For the fish you catch you will need it haha

@@JEWildsFishing maybe the PR is an upcoming vid? I hope I hope I hope.......
@@jeffffro7674 I will do a vid on the PR if people want to see it, maybe that can be an upcoming project
@@JEWildsFishingYIP YIP YYEEEEWWWWWW!
Have used this but with many more hitches, I like the finishing off. Good shit bro

Great video bro nice I'll try it out on the ones out whangaparaoa
Interesting knot mate👍... Keep up
Give it a try one day man 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Sick bro! Will try this out and let ya know.
Do it bro, send me a pic of the fish you catch
Strongest knot. Thanks for bro. 👍
Thankyou 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hmmmm.. Interesting 🤔🤔
I will try this knot because is easy and fast enough to do it 👍🏻🤙
See ya 😎

Thanks man I'm glad you like it, new video has just gone up now so have a look at that one too 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
What size terminal tackle would you be using for that lure?
Can the knot be use in a 20lbs leader line only?
what pros is this knot over crimped ring as see many of Japanese anglers do that? thanks
Hey there mate - thank you for this video! Was wondering why you didn't pass it through the eye of the swivel 2 times before tying the hitches, since this seems to be common practice in other guides?
I often did that technique in the past but have found I didn't need to. The single loop has not failed me ever. Thanks for the comment -Joe
Two times through swivel it,s not strong as one give it a test
What type of thread do you use? Leader
Cute CP haha, followed!!
Interesting knot. I have never seen a chain knot, and usually knots are not started with a simple overhand knot. Crazy Kat stole the show from you!
Give it a try next time, I really like the knot and it's very easy to do. Haha Kat sure did and she even used the knot! Haha thanks for the comment -Joe
what brand of leader you normally use as find some eg. blackmagic can be quite rigid and hard to do the AG knot? thanks
Im currently using Nomad 200lb leader, it seems to do the job really good
there is this new knot called wada knot winner of japan 2018 knot competition. would like to see how it compare to ag chain knot
From Briggy's sashimi xD
Cheers m8!
#Yeeewww
What did you think of the look of the sashimi? Would you eat it?
@@JEWildsFishing it was beautifully done! Definitely worth tasting it.
Nice knot btw, the look of it is amazing.
First time seeing the Chain knot.. will be trying that fo' sure.
Nice different knot bro! What’s your leader knot?
I tie a PR for my leader knot, just what I'm used to so I keep doing it, seems to work good for me
Why not use the uni knot it is a lot quicker and it seems to work fine for the guys at morning tide for gt, this still looks great though just looks abit complicated when uni works well unless you think otherwise.
I've broken about 3 uni knots on fish so wont use them anymore, seems like a good knot but I prefer the Chain knot
Ok thanks I will definitely give this a go when I target big fish next
@@nicfishing3740 give it a try, they are super easy to tie
