    Never had a problem with the fg inshore or offshore and has been the smoothest knot going through the guides in my experience. That being said, the modified Albright is my #2 and I will occasionally tie it on the boat in certain situations.

    I've always tied surgeon's knots but they are bulky knots. I tried this one and was proud to show my son, only for him to launch his paddle tail 100 feet after the Albright pulled on the third cast. I even did the 3 wraps at the end so not sure what went wrong.

    Trying this knot next. I have new 30 lb braid and 20 lb fluor that slips terribly with my FG. The braid will not dig in. Using this on a baitcaster for trolling. Also trying a blood knot and uni. Yucatán also slips. Almost like they left mold grease on the line.

    CA I noticed you tie this knot different than you did a year ago. I like this knot better because it is easier and stronger. Most wrap it a few times up and back without locking it down with the three twist on the end. Just the one twist for a lock. I think your way makes a stronger and smaller knot for the guides.

    Thanks Captain. Was out yesterday and the wind was being less than cooperative when I found myself needing to rig a new leader. After I struggled trying to tie my FG for the second time, I remembered this video and decided to give it a try. So I wanted to say thanks for this tip as it definitely saved me some frustration not to mention the possibility of a lost fish due to a improperly tied knot.

    I use the double uni knot since it’s so easy to use on lines of different diameter. Plus it goes through the guides pretty well and I’ve yet to have it break.

  • @formulafishing
    @formulafishing Рік тому +2

    Huge proponent of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but there's plenty of tests showing modified Albright having lower breaking point than the fg. Fg is also quicker to tie once you learn how to. If you tie the fg knot correctly it will not slip before it breaks. Lastly, it is the most streamlined connecting knot and thinner than the Albright. Fg can be scary at first but once you learn how to it's a no brainer!

  • @UrCrazyCharles
    @UrCrazyCharles Рік тому

    I always tie a crazy Alberto at home and lock it in with an arbor and overhand. May seem overkill, but it's sleek and never fails. Also would you recommend V2 over Maxcuatro in 20lb on a baitcaster? Is the V2 visibility better to have rather than the extra thin diameter?

  • @kevinglassner820

      It would sound to me that you have a terminal knot issue or rigging issue on the lure.
      What type of lures is this occurring on? Swivels will adversely effect your lure presentation. I have never used a swivel on any line to leader connection for artificial. A swivel at the lure for certain spoons can be needed.

    Well, if the Albright slips on coated lines, enrease the raps to minimum 12. It won't slip again. I personally put 15 raps on and don't go under 12 on coated of fused lines.
