I cant get seasick on kayaks, I also don’t get sick on big giant ships. But those charter boats, like the ones they use for whale watching? I have a hard time holding down my breakfast every time
Alijos is a great reel. I have been using them for the past 6 months for all sort of fishing from inshore to offshore deep water. Just came back from Alaska and caught a few king salmon to 30#. I now have 3. Great deal for nice reels.
Watched probably 5 different FG knot tutorials before watching this SC knot video. You did a great job explaining it and showing us how to do it I'm going to just skip the FG and give this a try. I've been using Alberto knot and wanted to try and find leader knot slightly thinner
Nice knot indeed, but would you agree that we are applying a bit more pressure on the leader and therefore its gonna be weaker than the traditional FG?
Nope, I try it, i don't like it one bit, sorry .... FG Knot is still my best knot, it not how easy the knot tie, the important thing is how strong the knot is, i'm not going loose a fish because i want to be lazy tying my knot, regrets is not something i like to think of later
Excellent tutorial! I've been using this knot for a while now and have found it to be strong and durable also. I think it takes a little longer to tie than an FG, but the actual knot is easier than the FG for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Why do you not lubricate the knot with spit when you cinch it down? Thats a MUST for me. It tightens it so much better dude!😎. This is basically a reverse Bimini Twist knot. With Bimini you start your wraps with the leader not the braid.
Not easy to tie in the wind but super strong and smooth running I'll use it for pre rigging... but on the water the double uni can be less painful in the wind!...rains a whole different ball game with braid!
It's an interesting knot and a good demo. Reminds me a little of the Bimini Twist. I'll keep using the FG knot befause it took a long time to learn and I'm already good at it. (Thanks Brigsy for that.) That said I'll definitely learn the SC knot just because you can't ever know too many knots.
I also learned the FG from that @brigssy tuto video and never went back since, but like you, I will surely give e the sc a try, the moomoo for sharing.
That thumbnail is exactly right that fg knot is only 50 percent strength the sc knot believe it or not has 200 percent knot strength. That FG not is a terrible knot. A carrot is another good one so is a GT knot 100 percent knot strength.
I guess I’m just old school, but I still prefer an Albright knot to all others. 10-15 wraps makes for a tight, compact, and very strong knot. A couple drops of super glue makes it virtually impossible to slip. Great for braided to any leader, even braid to braid! But the SC is certainly a strong knot! Just not as easy to tie as an Albright, for me at least.
Albright used to be my go to until it slipped when I had a big sturgeon. I still use albright/alberto knot when I'm on the water. I never tried superglue on it though.
Hey! Want to tie 30 pound braid to 15 pound fluro! Try that! Nit fishing for Wales! Just 2 to 15 pound fish! Nearly impossible to do the technique with a smaller leader wire... jot do it
Though this knot is still thicker than an FG. Alberto and Crazy Alberto is as thick as this SC. When it doubt, the double-Uni will win tournaments as well
SC knot--nah. It's an old one called the Yucatan. It works on the same principle as the FG, the so-called finger-trap knot. Both rely on cinching the knot down very snugly as you showed here.
Nice Moo. Check out the Tony Pena! Pretty simple and really strong. Slim profile knot that goes through the guides well. This knot reminds me of the Bimini twist the way the turns overlap on themselves and that's a really strong knot too.
I have tried Tony Pena before. No doubt it's a strong knot but I didn't really like the thickness of the mono end of the knot. I should do a strength test using different knots.
I use 30# braid main to either 20# or 15# mono leader. I use the Alberto knot. It is quick and easy to tie, and has never failed. Even when catching a rock, and I have to break off, the leader breaks and has never broken at the knot.
nice looking knot. looks super strong. might be tough to wrap a loop around your mono in heavy wind but probably not a lot worst than a single tag end. wet it for the cinch.
EXCELLENT Video. Next time I have to join braid to mono for deep drop banking I will definitely use this knot. However, have you strength tested this knot against the FG Knot for same braid/mono connection? What were the actual results?
I tried this right in front of my computer while watching, and after tying the four braid half hitches I had significant slippage with my fluoro leader. I tied a half hitch with the flouro tag on the loop side and the slippage was eliminated. Comments?
My goal is to not have to look down and tie any knots while on the ocean 🤮 haha or maybe just peddle over to my nearest friend and have them do it. Closer than going back to shore at least 🤷♂️
I'm going to try this for sure. I saw one video that said the FG knot was only for times when the leader was higher test than the braid. Some of the comments disagreed, but I have had 8 lb mono slide out of the FG knot with 20 lb braid. It could be that I'm not good at tying the FG, but either way, I need something different.
Yo moo! I’m gonna launch out of the grocery outlet this Saturday 🤫5:20 ish will be on channel 69 if you want to meet me out there I’ll be in a slate compass
Beautiful information. Nice
Thanks
I'd be seasick as nuts doing that on a kayak. Alberto knot (RP knot) has never let me down. Just caught a nice bluefin on it.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I tie Alberto when I'm on the water too but I don't like the thickness of it.
I cant get seasick on kayaks, I also don’t get sick on big giant ships. But those charter boats, like the ones they use for whale watching? I have a hard time holding down my breakfast every time
Do you really have to rap it that many times and why 4 half hitchs when even the FC not only uses 2 most times
i do blood knot
Definitely great combo knot in retaining the breaking strength of the 2 different line types !!
Thank you Sir
Thank you for putting this out there Moo!! Much easier to do than the FG!!!
I love this knot
cool shades look "good" on you! I'll have to give this knot a try!
Thanks
Alijos is a great reel. I have been using them for the past 6 months for all sort of fishing from inshore to offshore deep water. Just came back from Alaska and caught a few king salmon to 30#. I now have 3. Great deal for nice reels.
This has became my favorite reel.
@@MooMooOutdoors Unfortunately the new "saltwater" Alloy M is junk.

I hope this works out for you.
Albertos and Albright's slip.
Bunch of good knots. I'm just old school and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Double uni-knot has worked for me forever.
Hey Alex that is another good knot the double uni is really good on lite line spinning rod set ups.
Nice knot indeed, but would you agree that we are applying a bit more pressure on the leader and therefore its gonna be weaker than the traditional FG?
Great info my friend 👍
Thanks 👍
Hey thanks for the tutorial
I've been looking for a simpler knot than the FG. You made it a easy to understand. I got a new go to.
great
Nope, I try it, i don't like it one bit, sorry .... FG Knot is still my best knot, it not how easy the knot tie, the important thing is how strong the knot is, i'm not going loose a fish because i want to be lazy tying my knot, regrets is not something i like to think of later
LIke I said in the video, this is for those who have trouble tying FG.
Talk is cheap Moo. You need to test the FG vs the SC knots to prove it. Thanks for sharing Moo as always.
Thuy's FG knot vs MooMoo's SC knot battle?
@@MooMooOutdoors it is on buddy. We will do a colab video on this battle and it will be epic. 😊
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽. Saved vid!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Nice knot Moo
Pretty good knot if you are having trouble with fg knot
Excellent tutorial! I've been using this knot for a while now and have found it to be strong and durable also. I think it takes a little longer to tie than an FG, but the actual knot is easier than the FG for sure. Thanks for sharing.
You are one of the people made me try this knot and I'm glad I did.
FG knot is not hard to tie.
Watch Salt Strong or Nauti Knots for easy methods to tie the FG knot
FG
It's very good,I can try👌👌👍
What if instead of doing 20 wraps you will do a 10 wraps does it make it slimmer than in this video?
It wouldn't make it slimmer but it will make it shorter
Good info sir👍👍👍thanks
Thanks
Wow 😮 what on earth?? SC ..... Super Cranked lol 😆
😂🤣
Best explanation on you tube of SC knot
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
Is this better than a Albright/alberto knot?
I think so. Albright/alberto was my go to before I started using FG. This is a great alternative to FG for those who have a difficult time with FG.
Why do you not lubricate the knot with spit when you cinch it down? Thats a MUST for me. It tightens it so much better dude!😎. This is basically a reverse Bimini Twist knot. With Bimini you start your wraps with the leader not the braid.
I forgot to show it (and it's implied) 😁
@@MooMooOutdoors If ya didnt show it how could it be implied?🤣. Anyway nice vid man!
Not easy to tie in the wind but super strong and smooth running I'll use it for pre rigging... but on the water the double uni can be less painful in the wind!...rains a whole different ball game with braid!
I have a video on uni knot as well. Uni is most beginner friendly and versatile in my opinion.
interesting knot.. hmm
give it a try
@@MooMooOutdoors will do, though I don't do leaders often, my C6000 is almost ready for a topshot
It's an interesting knot and a good demo. Reminds me a little of the Bimini Twist. I'll keep using the FG knot befause it took a long time to learn and I'm already good at it. (Thanks Brigsy for that.)
That said I'll definitely learn the SC knot just because you can't ever know too many knots.
Thanks. If you are good at FG, no need to switch to SC. FG is smaller in diameter after all.
I also learned the FG from that @brigssy tuto video and never went back since, but like you, I will surely give e the sc a try, the moomoo for sharing.
Nice tutorial but FG is slimmer, faster, stronger and easyier.
Just improved Yucatan knot...nothing more!
Thanks buddy
Thank you
That thumbnail is exactly right that fg knot is only 50 percent strength the sc knot believe it or not has 200 percent knot strength. That FG not is a terrible knot. A carrot is another good one so is a GT knot 100 percent knot strength.
If the fg is so bad why does it win all the knot test ? It’s # 1 always comes out on top ?
FG's are an under the minute knot....this is tedious and not as good.
Super helpful my friend. I've been trying to get better at these knots.
Thanks for watching
ZZZzzz… get back in the yak Moo… 🤣. Thanks 4 posting regardless 👍.
I was on the yak! Can't make a video when I get skunked LOL
Complex science.
Haha
Nice video, fg knot still seems easier.
If you are good at FG, I don't see the need for this knot
It’s a Yucatán knot with four half hitches.
I agree with you
I came to same conclusion.
Looks good but since I have no problem quickly tying the FG and have been doing it for years, I am not going to try to fix what is not broken.
Yes, if you have mastered FG knot, no reason to use SC knot.
@@MooMooOutdoors
Plus being old every time I learn something new I end up forgetting something else….
Thank you for sharing! Did you test this SC knot against the FG knot for breaking strength? If so, then what were the results please?
Thanks. No I did not do SC vs FG yet
Thanks Mo for sharing this great video! It's simple but very good explained and perfect filmed! Greetings from the Netherlands, Pat. 👊🏼👍🏼🇳🇱🎣
Thanks
nice will give it a try!!!!!!!!!!..thanks for sharing....THUMBS-UP!!!!!!!
Thanks CAMO-JOE
When the knot breaks in 4 or 6 lb braid its the braid that breaks i tie bimmini loop in braid for strength then tie double uni knot with leader try it
great
Do you have to wet the lines before u cinch down? Or it doesn't matter?
I've done it both ways and I don't think it matters
@@MooMooOutdoors I'll wet it just in case. I feel like it'll cinch done evenly and tighter.
English subtitles would be useful .
FG ist der stärkste knoten haltet am meisten wer was anderes sagt kann kein FG knoten oder lügt
This works great on heavy line, but not at all on light line. 15lb or less.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
"Q" the porno music!
LOL

Il nodo tiene il carico? Ho paura che scivoli e si scioglie
Hey! Want to tie 30 pound braid to 15 pound fluro! Try that! Nit fishing for Wales! Just 2 to 15 pound fish! Nearly impossible to do the technique with a smaller leader wire... jot do it
thats recockulous
YOU talk to much
Why not cut off the leader after 2 half hitches and use the last 2 -3 half hitches to cover up leader end so it will reel through your eyes smoothly?
great idea
I tried that but the half hitch started to unravel if it is on the leader.
Though this knot is still thicker than an FG. Alberto and Crazy Alberto is as thick as this SC. When it doubt, the double-Uni will win tournaments as well
>HAVE TO USE SWIVELS BECAUSE ANY KNOT GET THROU THE LAST EYE GUIDE OF MY FIS HIN ROD

great video. How much mono do you leave as your top shot?
Depends on what I'm going for. Salmon: 20-30, Sturgeon: about 5 feet and Everything else: about 10 feet.
Nice Moo. Check out the Tony Pena! Pretty simple and really strong. Slim profile knot that goes through the guides well. This knot reminds me of the Bimini twist the way the turns overlap on themselves and that's a really strong knot too.

WILL definitely carry on using the alberto knot this one looks a mess
Yucatan knot
Too slow
too much stuffing around with the sc knot, fg knot 10 times better
Didn't look easier but good have been the explanation
I don't trust this knot. About half the time I tie it, the whole knot slides on the mono and won't allow it to be cinched tite
I use 30# braid main to either 20# or 15# mono leader. I use the Alberto knot. It is quick and easy to tie, and has never failed. Even when catching a rock, and I have to break off, the leader breaks and has never broken at the knot.
If you can’t tie FG knot in 1min your kids have two mums!
มาชมครับผม+1ครับ
Could bend the spool axle. On the second cinch.
Modified Yucatan.. proven knot
For me the FG knot only and always
It's for those who have difficult time with FG
The way u tigh knot, you may damage your mono leader
Thanks for this. I’ve had a tough time tying the fig knot and this is much easier.
Right? I tried it once and never went back to fg.
You actually spool this on your reel?
Not me brother!
Might have to try this I hate the fg knot and usually use gt knot
Yucatan knot ? I stick to my FG knot
Yucatán knot
Close but no 😉
what’s the difference
Is It good for eyelets ??
Yes. As good as FG
Only a real fisherman can do an FG!
Great knot, much easier than the FG
It's a good knot, but I still prefer the FG with a rizzuto finish.
I agree. It's mainly for those who have trouble with FG knot.
OG Moo
LOL
Looks like a modified Bimini
nice looking knot. looks super strong. might be tough to wrap a loop around your mono in heavy wind but probably not a lot worst than a single tag end. wet it for the cinch.
Waaaay too much work.
Thanks buddy good note
EXCELLENT Video. Next time I have to join braid to mono for deep drop banking I will definitely use this knot. However, have you strength tested this knot against the FG Knot for same braid/mono connection? What were the actual results?
Hey thanks for the video, I'm really suck in FG knot your video really help me alot.

I thought you wrapped the mono around the braid?
That's Yucatan knot. Braided wraps the mono on this one. Thanks for watching.
Great Video even I can do that .I don’t have enough Dexterity to do FG but this works . 👍🏾
Thanks. Glad to hear it's working out for you.
Every time I do this knot it slips the mono slide right out
What lb braid and mono are you using? Try less wraps. Others who had slipping issue worked for them.
done ✅ watching thanks for sharing my friend
Thank you too
Great if you have 5 minutes between bites?
what do you mean by 5 minutes between bites? Tie it once and it's good for many many trips.
My goal is to not have to look down and tie any knots while on the ocean 🤮 haha or maybe just peddle over to my nearest friend and have them do it. Closer than going back to shore at least 🤷♂️
This sounds like it's coming from the personal experience 😂🤣
Nice!
I'm going to try this for sure. I saw one video that said the FG knot was only for times when the leader was higher test than the braid.

Double uni done. 8 to 20-60 braid 10 to 15 braid my go to spinning reel on the baitcasters it’s 12/40/50/60 20/60
How long should your leader be when tieing to braided line
That would be your personally preference and your specific applications. I tie about 10 feet of topshot for my applications.
ни хрена!
Yo moo! I’m gonna launch out of the grocery outlet this Saturday 🤫5:20 ish will be on channel 69 if you want to meet me out there I’ll be in a slate compass
Where is grocery outlet? 🤷🤷 I'll be most likely on the PB on Saturday.
Okay I was considering that as well, I think I might!!
FG stands for F-in Good what does SC stand for?
Haha. Super Cool LOL
