How to tie an FG knot, the easiest way I know, Ott DeFoe

In this video, I go through the way I tie an FG knot and show a couple of things that make it easier for anyone to learn.  I used to tie and Alberto and it was pretty good but I would occasionally break the bait off so went away from that learn the FG knot.  It’s not a long process and I can tie and FG knot this way on the boat in around 90seconds.

FG knot Key Steps

• Tie a loop know in your braid and lock it around the reel handle
• Lay leader over the braid, wrap leader above and below about 4 times then pull to tighten.
• Repeat again for a total of 22, wraps tightening after every 2^nd wrap
• Take the braid line end and tie an overhand over the braid mainline and the leader. Do this 2 times and pull down tight.
• Trim the leader tag off very close
• Complete 3 more overhand knots with the braid tag over the braid mainline them trim.
