Do yourself a favor, and don't. This video is trash lol. It should take 1 minute to tie, be smooth, and a risotto finish is what you want. Not that thing, w.e. it is hw tied here
sensational tutorial. When you are locked up to a serious fish you don't want to be questioning your homework. The extra time spent perfecting this knot would be well worth the effort. Hats off to you sir. A fantastic video for one of the best braid to leader setup.
I used this knot on all my bass rods before lake time. All those annoying guide clicks from the trad FG knot are gone. 3 weeks of daily fishing and hundreds of casts per rod...the knots are still as nice as the day I tied them. Thank you Sir. The Thinking-Man's FG.
I just finished my first completed knot (following your instructions) and I cut the main line instead of the extra tag end... fun times. Nice video, back to work for me.
I've been putting a drop of superglue on the knot for years. It accomplishes three things. Extra protection which makes it impossible for the line to pull through. It also smooths out the transition between the two lines and completely eliminates the clicks when it goes through the eyes. It also eliminates any fraying of the braid. Since doing this my casts are perfect because there are no steps to slow the line going the eyes.
Anyone complaining about the length of time tying this variation of the knot should understand the concept of a tutorial video is not for Jack to blow through this knot in 3 minutes like I’m sure he could.....that would defeat the purpose of a tutorial.....and considering the fact that Jack is one of the Northeast pioneers of targeting bluefin tuna on spinning gear, he understands the big picture here. You’ve spent thousands, if not tens of thousands on your boat, your fuel, your rods, reels, lures, lines, gaffs, harpoons, and hours rigging everything just to have the opportunity to be able to ATTEMPT catching a 200+ pound class BFT on spinning gear. Not to mention this is coming from a charter captain whose reputation and income is based on happy clients, so is it really so mind boggling that you’d spend the extra couple minutes ensuring a confident connection from main line to leader when you could be looking at fight times that are several hours long under drag pressure that 99% of fisherman can’t even comprehend on spinning gear? It can be the little things like this that separate the guys telling fish stories from the guys putting meat on the deck. Thank you Jack and OTW for the feature.
Thanks Dan for the awesome response. This knot is most definitely geared towards big game species. You don't want your knot to fail on a giant that's for sure.
Thanks mate, good vid. I have been going FG straight to rizzuto finish, no half hitch at all. I like you're point about the wear point at the top of the knot, makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to show your version.
Thank you Sir! I have done all the finishes imaginable to the initial weave, but it always left me with that "angle" between the braid and leader, at the knot. I like fishing long leaders - which means that the knot passes through the last two eyes - and always that little "thump", cutting my casting distance. NOT ANYMORE!!! The knot she runs like oil through the eyes!! Adds a lot of distance. Also - my friends are lining up for me to do their leaders. They think I'm a rockstar!
Great job with the video. I love the attention to detail as well as the Rizutto finish and the trick with using the lighter to make a stopper. This solved my problems I was having with the knot coming undone from chunking lures all day. Thank you.
Those extra half hitches are doing what he says. Theyre reducing the hinging effect that the fg is famous for. This is particularly important if you're using foolacarbon.
It would be beneficial to the viewers to see the traditional fg and this modified fg knot in testing mode to show the positive side of choosing it... Yall should put them to the test Thanks for the info
@@JohnSmith-fe2pz catching fish with 2500 dollar combos with 200lb leaders and 50 kilo braid, for sure the lads have fun and are entertaining but basically that's what they do.
I don't have a problem with the original fg. Saw a great video to tie an fg with out using your teeth or any other tool. Never had a problem with the original. Just looks like so much extra to do. Hey if i ever do have a problem i will try this. Thanks
Can you explain what glue you used at the end of the video and where on the knot to apply it? It looked like Loon UV Knot Sense. Do you just coat the entire knot? This video was amazing. Thanks so much for your expert and detailed instruction 😊!!!
I don't know why you all have it with Briggsy. It is true that he did not invent the node, but honestly I like how he explains it, in all the steps. The end result is a clean and beautiful job. Anyway congratulations and credit to the captain Jack Sprengel, for this variant.
Lol, this made me think of how I caught my first ever fish ( a 60cm king ) with just two simple overhand knots lmfao, I now use a uni knot just in case, but it shows you how strong even a simple knot can be
Is this better than say a Bimini Twist "Cat's Paw" connection for trolling Off Shore??? J/C! I use this awesome knot you showed us religiously on my Inshore Jigging top shot connections Braid to Fluorocarbon Top Shot, but am wondering how this would fair on heavier Braid to Flour/Mono Leaders on trolling rigs for Tuna etc. Probably would knot be able to make the knot due to line diameters getting too big right?
I can tie an fg knot on the water in about a minute. There is much easier ways to do the fg knot. Cool but ill still tie the original fg knot it's my go to.
I will try this modified knot for sure. I have few question about casting it through the guides. When or how often do you re-tie the FG knot? When casting where do you like the knot be sitting. Do you cast with the knot wrap in the spool, do you cast with the knot out of the line roller or do you cast with the knot having in between the two first guides? Also are you comfortable casting hard?
All I got to say is. Take ur time on your knot and you wont waste time tying knot when fishing. The FG knot regardless of modification will be strongest braid yo mono flouro connection. You dont want to go cheap and lose a good fish.
Post a video on that circus tent. I bet I can knit it faster than you. I’ll even finish the tent with a rizzuto knot. You’re probably finishing up soon. It’s been 2 years.
Honestly, waste of time. I love the FG knot and use it for years already, but with a simple 6 wrap rizutto finish at the end. It takes me about a minute, maybe a minute 15 for the whole thing to be done and ready to fish. Also, why is he saying that the alternating wraps create this line, that increases the profile of the knot ? It's not a good thing! The point of an FG knot is for it to be as slim as possible. Even the leader material doesn't fold on itself once if tied correctly. Again, no idea why hesl was making it a larger profile than necessary. And 10 minutes for a knot? Hahahaha you better have multiple pre tied spools for each reel if you're trying to fish instead of thing on the water. Tight lines
After you cut down your mono tag end and burn it into the mushroom I'm having trouble getting the half hitches to stay seated right on top of it. Any advice on this?
Great thank you. Please clarify the beginning of the knot. I place the leader over the top of the braid then go under away then under toward etc. I see you start with leader under braid and then over away then UNDER toward then UNDER in pairs. Is this an improvement or a mod or an oversight or what? Thanks.
the FG is a superb knot by its self, everything else is by choice, doesnt reinforce the fg in no way want your tag end secure??? just wet the entire knot and burn the end of the braid.
This is just reinventing the wheel. The only modification to the original Japanese style FG knot is the Rizzuto finish. The Original Japanese Fg knot ALWAYS had a long finish after the leader was cut. Check out the early Japanese videos. There are 2 reasons why the knot was shortened. 1. time an laziness 2. Everything after the chinese finger trap is non load bearing - i.e you can do any finish you like and it wont make a difference to the strength of the knot
it's not about increasing knot strength, it's about making it go though the guides easier and with less wear,he explained the purposes of the changes to the knot at the start of the video
@@Vicariousleighilive.. no Transparent is the exact opposite of Opaque and he got them backwards in the video. so if it makes sense to you than i suggest a new dictionary. the line turns Opaque darker blue when the main line bites into and thins the transparent monofilament line ( and Floro is a form of filament just not a nylon based line ) causing the main line color to be better visible through the surface of the leader filament. if your leader becomes more transparent than you have a gap between the two lines and that void will make the lines slip out. I have tied FG knots for over a decade proficiently and the extra hitches are not necessary if you original hash cross pattern is done correctly. those half hitches have Zero to do with the Main line biting into the Leader line. it only serves to smooth the run through the guides, and an extra PSA: there is absolutely nothing (knot wise ) on earth with a 100% knot strength, no not never fails. but BS sells. he got his 300k view$
Not familiar with this knot, what keeps the braided weave from sliding right off the straight mono? I would be inclined to slightly melt the mono to flair it just a hair... like I do when I crimp big game trolling leaders...
Compression, the harder the line is pulled the tighter the knot cinches down on the leader. But because the leader is not kinked or knotted it retains all of its strength. It has a smaller profile than a double uni and casts smother through smaller guides. But still a pain to tie.
Capt. Sprengel, can this knot be wound through the rod eyelets and cast without any concern of it coming undone and costing me a precious lure like the standard fg?
Here can obtains a master of knot like you? I need checking the video 4!time more or buy a pair of glassware. Of all tsk. You are very professional and dedicate.
Did the fg knot fail you ? So the line being at 90 degree as you shown made the knot fail? The knot is hard to make for some and you are adding more steps..
You usually tie these knots only a few times a season, before you leave home, though most can bang out an FG on site in very quick time when they're not explaining it step by step for TH-cam. Then when you're standing there cursing the loss of a fish of a lifetime, he'd be enjoying the fight. Maybe try it before you dog on someone who's put together a very good vid.
Dude, I don't know what sort of fish you are chasing to only tie up a few FG knots a season, but there are times when I'm tying them up multiple times a day. I've never had an FG knot fail. We just landed a 150lb tarpon the other day on a simplified FG knot, which only took me about a minute to tie on the spot. th-cam.com/video/oohOoOOmbNk/w-d-xo.html If the guy was wanting to get the best knot possible in a fraction of the time, he should of just ran his fluorocarbon leader up inside the Pro Pro Hollow Ace (a hollow braid) with a splice needle and just did a simple nail knot with a few drops of superglue at the end of the leader up in the Hollow Ace. Look it up, there is no better knot, which is not really a knot at all. It's a splice.
This is a difficult knot to learn. The cameraman was no help by unzooming the camera angle I could not see what was done. Thanks for trying to give us a video. I think it would be helpful to just leave the camera zoomed in on your hands,
Man spends 10 minutes tying the knot perfectly. During the last step dude cuts main line instead if tag end. Now the braid is tied directly to the hook with a shoe laces knot.
It dosent take 10 minutes because once you get use to it it would take like 2 minutes for a normal fg knot but when you do this fg knot in the video its probably like 5 minutes
Now that you can buy 30-40lb hollow core, I don't really play this game. Heck you can even buy 20lb. You can splice a 12lb leader into 20lb hollow and have a true 100% connection (if you've got good eyes). I've also never lost a fish to a simple bimini twist to modified albright.
1. Waste time 2. Waste braid 3. Waste leader 4. Waste energy I just can see that this modified FG is the first knot that you can tie at home, not in the boat. Anyways, great tips on the shaving part when tie the half hitch. Thanks buddy
I didn't know how to do this before the video and still don't know how after watching it. Maybe this was for someone in the know but not for someone trying to learn. The show me how suks as much as the camera work and is now more irritating than the time to write this
Why you still using your mouth? Use the pink method and you forgot to tell people that when you pull on the FG to tighten the line it doesn't bite down all the way to the bottom because when you pull the first thing to tighten is the end of the knot so you can't tighten the beginning because the end is already too tight. The best way to make sure the whole knot is tighten is by doing about 5 to six wraps and pulling the line than wrap 5 to 6 times than pull to tighten again. You repeat the process until you are satisfied with the size of your knot, than you proceed to finish your knot.
Thanks so much for this video! I’ve been having trouble with fray on my traditional FG knot. I’ll have to try this finish next time.
excelent broo

Thank you for this video I have went back and retied all my FG knots on all of my reels.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
Modified by what....adding in 10 more half hitches than needed? :)
Those extra half hitches are doing what he says. Theyre reducing the hinging effect that the fg is famous for. This is particularly important if you're using foolacarbon.
@@markrigg6623 no matter what that's just what leaders do. If you try to make a cleaner transition it will just fail.
@@lmsmbassaddict7779 leaders do it for sure but to varying degrees depending on the actual knot and the actual leader material.
Yup, in my opinion that makes the knot even more complicated than in needs to be. Shouldn’t your leader have to be changed every trip anyways?
That is not necessary at all making it more difficult the knot was done already.. that's it.
Can you use this knot with 100lb leader & 100lb braid?
I love this knot I tied it exactly like you and never had a failure while fishing.
Video editing clue. Don't cut away from that closeup . . . ever!
Great instruction... really like the rizzuto knot to finish the FG knot off with
I’ve found if you keep the hook end of the leader in a fish’s mouth you never have a 90 degree angle at the knot.
I do like your mod version becauce on the traditional knot the knot frays after a few days of casting thx for sharing
Maybe a drop of super glue can help.
Great vid. Commentary was on point
For everyone who thinks this connection takes too long to tie. Trust me, once you get the hang of it you can tie it in just a minute or so.
It would be beneficial to the viewers to see the traditional fg and this modified fg knot in testing mode to show the positive side of choosing it...
Yall should put them to the test

That was an awesome tutorial, Apreciate it.

Keep it simple , FG knot with rizzuto finish is the way to go . the morning tide boys catch land based 50kg GT’s with it , it must be the strongest .

Great knot, but doesn't fit thru the line guide on my old Penn 309 levelwind. Gotta go low profile.
And keep breaking off...

Original FG and If i am feeling insecure or feel it may fray. a drop so super glue. Done.
More is better? I got to go, good luck on finishing this knot this fishing season.

Pro tip: Skip all those half hitches and do the rizzuto finish over the mono and the leader done in 1/2 the time and just as good.
I can tie an fg knot on the water in about a minute. There is much easier ways to do the fg knot. Cool but ill still tie the original fg knot it's my go to.

All I got to say is. Take ur time on your knot and you wont waste time tying knot when fishing. The FG knot regardless of modification will be strongest braid yo mono flouro connection. You dont want to go cheap and lose a good fish.
Agree but PR Bobbin knot is now king of braid to mono. You thought a FG was hard to tie try a PR bobbin!
Matthew Gonzalez I am sure the pr is strong also. Considering if it takes even longer than the FG then I will have to go with the fg.
I could knit a circus tent faster than tying this knot!
The fish have migrated already.

Takes a lot of time especially when having frenzies and you need to create a knot quickly.
At some point you have to consider how much fishing time you are losing, and tie a double surgeons or a double uni

Damn have to anchor the boat and tide is done when I get this knot finished geeeze
I love the FG but I stopped tying it like this years ago!! Still both ways have never let me down , I just use the one that saves me time these days.
it's pretty good but I go down 3-4 guides on my Rod before grabbing it with my teeth, Thanks for sharing Jack

it can take up to 500 lb of weight. Amazing Modified FG knot BUT i am too Lazy to do this.
No kidding, who wants to take 20 minutes to tie a knot
30 knots later "nothing fancy" lol. great video!
i love the original FG. these are nice but seem to take alot more time.
Capt. Sprengel, can this knot be wound through the rod eyelets and cast without any concern of it coming undone and costing me a precious lure like the standard fg?
so with out any interuptions how long does it take to tie that knot.?
Should this be named the complication of the FG knot?
Is this variation more of a salt water variant? Seems a bit overkill for fresh water (bass primarily).
I’m knot convinced
Is a great connection when you're rigging at home. Not so practical out on the water if you have to re rig.
Here can obtains a master of knot like you? I need checking the video 4!time more or buy a pair of glassware. Of all tsk. You are very professional and dedicate.
Thanks you sir 💪💪💪💪
Lost a tooth, but caught a fish. Worth it
Great knot, credit goes to Briggsy
Briggsy didn’t invent the knot, what are you talking about?
Lol what a goof
Gloves?
It's to help better show the line for the camera
Neat but still goes on the principal of if you cant tie a knot tie a lot.
10 more half hitches should do the trick, lol.
At 10:06 I gave up on fishing...tie a loop with a figure 8 and go fishing
Uni knot is all I use for anything in fishing. It’s simple takes 20 seconds to add leader, takes 10 seconds to use for terminal tackle. Simple
Jay Wack same here, and it’s easy to remember
Did the fg knot fail you ? So the line being at 90 degree as you shown made the knot fail? The knot is hard to make for some and you are adding more steps..
An hour later, the fish has stop biting! lol

This is a difficult knot to learn. The cameraman was no help by unzooming the camera angle I could not see what was done. Thanks for trying to give us a video. I think it would be helpful to just leave the camera zoomed in on your hands,
Why black latex gloves?
It don't matter how many knots you tie after the FG just get the FG and be good
Man spends 10 minutes tying the knot perfectly.
During the last step dude cuts main line instead if tag end.
Now the braid is tied directly to the hook with a shoe laces knot.
It dosent take 10 minutes because once you get use to it it would take like 2 minutes for a normal fg knot but when you do this fg knot in the video its probably like 5 minutes
Now that you can buy 30-40lb hollow core, I don't really play this game. Heck you can even buy 20lb. You can splice a 12lb leader into 20lb hollow and have a true 100% connection (if you've got good eyes). I've also never lost a fish to a simple bimini twist to modified albright.
1. Waste time
2. Waste braid
3. Waste leader
4. Waste energy
I just can see that this modified FG is the first knot that you can tie at home, not in the boat. Anyways, great tips on the shaving part when tie the half hitch.
Thanks buddy
First class!
I didn't know how to do this before the video and still don't know how after watching it. Maybe this was for someone in the know but not for someone trying to learn. The show me how suks as much as the camera work and is now more irritating than the time to write this
james baxter wow!
Why you still using your mouth? Use the pink method and you forgot to tell people that when you pull on the FG to tighten the line it doesn't bite down all the way to the bottom because when you pull the first thing to tighten is the end of the knot so you can't tighten the beginning because the end is already too tight. The best way to make sure the whole knot is tighten is by doing about 5 to six wraps and pulling the line than wrap 5 to 6 times than pull to tighten again. You repeat the process until you are satisfied with the size of your knot, than you proceed to finish your knot.
The reason we moisten knots is to stop friction & heat; using heat is very counter productive.
While watching this, all i can think about is 400 thousand people sitting around trying to tie it while talking to each other and burning their hands.
