Excellent knot. Triple or quadruple surgeons knot. Excellent knot for fly fishing leader to tippet and very strong and simple for joining braid to mono or fluorocarbon leader. Been using this knot for almost 60 years.
I do this with 5 twists, and I have had so many good fish on the line, including a tarpon recently and the knot held with ease. It's good and doesn't hang in the eyelets.
*I bought these and used them at the river where I get snags often they have done a **enjoyable.fishing** recommend great job of not breaking along with some strong line I purchased as well. They are super durable and easy to use.*
Thanks for teaching this knot. I’ve been trying to learn braid to flouro knots for some time and have struggled big time. I finally learned this one and it worked great. Thanks again man.
I have used this surgeon's knot before. The down side is that it is a bit of an offset and not an in-line knot and it tends to hang up in the rod eye. So I would recommend shortening your leader to keep the knot out of the rod. Since it is so easy to tie, you can always replace the leader in short order should it become too short from re- tying baits. Other than that, I doubt if it's an 80-90% knot, but still a good choice.
Good video and a worthy knot that I've been using for over 70 decades. It's a Surgeon's knot, pain and simple. (K)Not the absolute best of knots, but more than good enuf to get the job done super quick and super simple. For spinners I use it for 15# main line braid to a 30' 25# mono shocker, and 30# main line braid to a 30' 80# mono shocker. For revolvers I'll use a uni-to-uni for 30# braid braid backing to 25# mono top shot main line, with a uni-to-overhand for the 30' of 80# mono shocker. After all of these knots have been tied, using water to ease the knots tightly closed, I let the water evaporate and add a tiny drop of quality hobby shop water thin CYA ("super glue") to absolutely insure any knot won't come undone or break untimely.
Triple surgeon knot. Quickest simplest knot ever. Used it for last 50 years. With the new braid I go 5 times. It’s just 5 granny knots pulled through all the way.
Thanks bro just seen this vid. I'm just switching over to braid from mono and having to learn new knots isn't working out for me that well lol. This is easy and great and right one time.
As many mentioned this is the surgeons knot. I wouldn't use it for mahi or wahoo but I've caught some nice bull reds off of it and have never had an issue. The only negative is you cannot tie it with hooks or crank baits at the other end.
I agree with how easy this knot is, my previous go to knot was a double uni, but it's not an easy knot to tie on the bank. I do six wraps for a seriously strong fluorocarbon to braid connection
Seems a lot easier than a double uni when out on the water. Is there a reason you use mono instead of florucarbon? Great video I'm looking forward to more informative stuff like this!
Joshua Wilson no doubt man, super simple. I fish a lot of jerkbaits and topwater this time of year and I like the stretch you get with the mono, it doesn't seem to rip the bait quite as hard. Thanks man!!
Interesting knot, your bloody camera less was driving me mental, I was using the double Uni knot for a while, but then I heard about the GT knot which is my favorite knot right now, however il try this knot out sometime. Thanks for sharing 🤙
Haha. Secrets out. Have used this with 4 turns for years. I use flouro and braid. Have caught tarpon, big jacks, everything on this. Use abt a 30” leader. I never wind the knot through the guides so size of knot doesn’t matter.
That knot is a triple (3 turn) surgeon's knot. It's been used for generations for fly fishing, building leaders, etc. It ranks, for light lines, below the uni to uni in strength. It works, but I think the proper name should be used.
Double uni is stronger. But if you are tying 30# braid to a 20# flourocarbon and fishing for speckled trout, a 50% knot is plenty. You are going to set your drag way below that for specs anyway. So the ease of the knot, especially when sitting in a kayak makes it a viable choice imo. If you are using 15# braid, I would go with something else.
@@barrywuthrich8530 yeah, drag is set loose until i snag oyster and want to crank it down and straighten a hook out to get my lure back. also, the knot in the video is really weak against sudden shocks. backlash when throwing a super spook or corky fatboy and you'll watch it fly away for good.
@@marshallbooker4568 I can tie it in the dark in about 3 seconds with my eyes closed. A double uni is not the strongest knot, so now you can be baffled by your own reply. lol. There is more than one way to do almost everything in life. Each to his own.
that’s cool man! This knot works for me, takes 5 seconds to tie and I’ve landed plenty of big fish on it(45lb cobia,110+lb tarpon, etc..) so I’ll stick with it!

Bingo fly guys been doing this for awhile
Just starting fishing with braid after a lifetime of using mono. This will be my go-to knot for tying on a leader. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Glad you can make use of it Charles!

Great looking knot, I will try it today!

I like that it's simpler than the "uni-to-uni" knot I use as shown in the Power Pro instructions.
W Bennett it is for sure man. Super easy to tie.
Best. Easiest. Description of this knot I’ve seen.
Thanks david!

Heck yea man glad you can make use of it!
good easy knot i will be using this all the time just great little knot.
Thanks, looks like an east fast one to tie in the kayak when sheep fishing and having to retie a bunch.
That is called a "Surgeon's knot," and has been around since the first fish was caught. Nice to see it again.
Super simple!
Been using this for 25 years. Good knot all around
No doubt about that man!!

Very Simple Indeed! Thank You!
How long would you make your leader line tyty great vid
Ye I like it, simple is always good when you are out on the water with wind & elements to deal with. Thanks, Capt. Bill
Looks easy Peezy great video 👍
Nice to learn a new one. Thanks .

Way easier to tie than the uni to uni for sure! Thanks for sharing! 👍
It is for sure man, Its about the only knot I use for leaders now.
I'll watch the video again but to me this looks way harder than the double uni, which is just doing the same very simple thing twice.
Great knot, been using that for a while now, had to get rid of that barrel swivel.
SlikRik it's my favorite leader knot. Yea no doubt man, I like being able to reel the leader into the eyes if I need to.
Wow, that is cool
how does it travel through guides ??
Yep THANKYOU 😎👍💪
thats fantastic thanks
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing 🤙
Super easy. Thanks dude!
I think that is called a triple surgeons knot. I use it tie more tippet to a tapered leader when fly fishing. Thanks for the video.
I like that name, thats what ill call it now hahahaha. Thanks for watching!
Waite i got it,this is easy. Thanks
Very easy nice job thanks for the tip
Anytime man! Thanks for watching
It's called a water knot, commonly used in the UK for creating a paternoster for feeder fishing.
Cheers Mate.
Love the knot...even easier than double uni and I actually never seen it before. Get that focus fixed and I'll subscribe :D
For sure! Haha it gets better in my newer videos 🤣
Thank you so much
Always called that a "triple surgeon's knot". Double surgeon with mono to mono works.
Haha. Secrets out. Have used this with 4 turns for years. I use flouro and braid. Have caught tarpon, big jacks, everything on this. Use abt a 30” leader. I never wind the knot through the guides so size of knot doesn’t matter.
Triple over hand I use a double for fly leader 40/😢30/20/10 to 10’ long w mono
Straight foward thanks.
Hey man I just found your channel. Great stuff brother!! I subbed and rang the bell!!! Hey man does this knot work with Fluorocarbon?
Hey I appreciate it man!! Yea it works well with fluoro too.
Great simple Knot
It is for sure, my go to braid to mono/floro knot.
Um, so is this a Granny Knot tied 4 times???
Nice, nice, nice.
Been using this knot for years with very few failures
God Bless for sharing -) -) -)
Thanks for watching!
not the strongest knot but when you on the water or your time is limited this will do just fine
FG knot is easier and stronger IMO... thanks for the share... all good info
Easier my ass
I agree! Easier his ass!
Triple surgeons knot
I hoped someone else would recognize it too!
This is a joke ive been trying to tie this knot for 3 hours and all i get is a mess
No way it's stronger than the double uni,this is just a triple overhand knot.Para
PERFECT BROTHER!!!!
Thanks man!!

That’s what I use brotha...
Great minds think alike!
Camera work is a must!!
I tried it and it held up for me But the main thing is it is Queeeewk
Just a triple surgeon knot. Nothing new.
Just A surgeon's knot it is not that strong.
I’ve had pretty good luck with it, handled a 45lb cobia without an issue.
@@KayakingKennedy Strong enough for my meager fishing hole!
This is a Surgeons knot
terrible knot. uni to uni is way stronger.
Idk man, uni to uni with braid is pretty much guaranteed to slip on big fish.. haven’t had this one pull yet 🤷♂️

@@barrywuthrich8530 why would u want to tie anything but the strongest?! im truly baffled by your reply

Sorry but I will tie an Albright knot any day over this knot. Its much easier and 100% more effective than this wonky looking thing!😎
that’s cool man! This knot works for me, takes 5 seconds to tie and I’ve landed plenty of big fish on it(45lb cobia,110+lb tarpon, etc..) so I’ll stick with it!
Did not work for me
Try it without boxing gloves on!
Toooolongvideotoexplainfor oneknot

How to take 7 minutes to make a 1 minute video. Painful
