yah i never can understand why various video makers’ feel the need to put electro or hip hop on simple tutorial videos. like dude. you are teaching a knot. hip hop and electro are awesome, but stupid, unnecessary, and not complimentary at all to a tutorial video such as this.
Been using this for years. Way way easier and faster than any other knot for tying braid to leader. And very strong, have never had one unravel. Thanks for enlightening everyone.
@@nonameforprivacy3303 Two hands & two feet ...not easy to tie quickly . I use 30# mono to 30# braid on my 12 ft. carp rods . The mono stands up better while fishing rocky slopes . I don't need to bring the knot through the guides so this bulkier knot is no problem .Normally I use the improved Albright knot . I'll give the Yucatan knot a go after I give it a test in my vise....
You have answered my prayers. I am new to all of this and have been going crazy trying to tie a proper Alberto. This is so easy and makes a nice, strong yet thin knot.
(I"m the Hubby, Harry) I have KNOT tried this but I say thank for this and the others I see. Well worth the try and consideration to be fair off the last few comments. But for me it LOOKS amazing . Thanks and this and a few other videos like it are very well done. I will at least try it. You da man!
Many thanks for posting. An excellent tutorial! Just a suggestion, from an old guy. The music is extremely off-putting. I'd prefer Mozart . . .but many people don't like classical music. See what I mean? No music is best.
So simple, and such a clean knot! I've been using the FG for years which is also a great knot but sometimes the leader tag catches when running through eyelets. My FG's are especially untidy if I've had to retie at sea while the bite is hot 😂. Will be giving this knot a go next trip.
Ive done this on 30 30 and it was fine. Just have to make sure the loop stays straight as you tighten up otherwise youll end up with an unfinished SC knot real quick.
Just need to hold those ends real tight and give it a lot of pressure to get it to cinch up. 10# braid to 8# fluro. Took me 4 tries the first time, but now it’s all good.
I saltwater fishing mostly in Western Australia , and use a 15 foot assasin horizon zxl casting rod , with a six ounce sinker , this rod builds huge velocity and using a 17 foot 40lb shock leader to 30lb braid can cause problems if the knot is not smooth , whe you get it right 150 meters in light winds is common , when you get it wrong you loose the lot and maybe 30 meters of braid as well on a big eggbeater reel , this is one of the smoothest knots to use on a big spinning reel to not have tags grab coils of braid and cause a bust off not the strongest but on a spinning reel probably one of the best .
This line is very strong and stretches great when setting the hook or fighting and bringing in the big fish. For the value of the line which isn’t much this is the right line for you if you want to save money and catch fish.
The best knot to tie is the knot you are best at being able to tie. A shitty FG knot will suck compared to a well tied uni to uni. Best advice to anglers, find a knot you can tie well and quickly and practice as much as possible. For me, it has been a Crazy Alberto. I pulled in a 4ft catfish on a 6ft medium light pole with 10lb braid to 10lb fluoro leader and Alberto as my connector knot fishing with a weightless stick bait. seemed plenty strong to me and did not re-tie afterwards and still was able to pull in 3lb-4lb bass no problem
The FG is designed for when you have a large diameter difference between leader and braid. Comparisons of 10lb braid to 10 pound leader are not relevant.
It’s a great knot so long as you don’t flip the loop over each time you wrap it like you did which is why you had to smooth it out so much before pulling it tight. That being said, it’s my favorite knot for a quick leader change.
He didn't smooth it out, he was lubricating the knot. Spit on the fingers and rub it into the knot before tightening. It's cleaner than just spitting on the knot for youtube.
I do a Bimini on the braid first, then the Yucatan, about 7 turns for 40lb braid. One or two more turns for thinner braid, vice versa with one less turn for 80lb.
He should have moistened the knot before tightening it down. The fluorocarbon side if you look at it closely is compromised and stretched. Always get the loops wet before you yank on your tag ends. Other than that, I think that is one of the coolest knots I have ever seen.
Yeah, I mainly use double uni, been trying to get used to the FG knot but man is it a PITA. Will try this next month when I hit the lake again. Question for those that do use this, how does it hold up to casting through the eyelets?
1 So double over braid and wrap 8 times around a straight piece of mono. 2 fold over mono and stick into the end of the braid loop you made. 3 tighten by magic combination of the 4 ends to make the mono wrap around the braid so the mono looks like a uni clinch other knot. What did I miss besides heavy mono will not work at all? Seems to not work more than an Albright with 14 turns around a folded mono of most weight up to 100 lb.
I couldn't get this knot to stay with the leader on the left, so i reversed them and made the loop with the leader and it worked. Was i missing a step trying it the way the video shows?
Blackwashing great videos that are already out there with the help of youtube insiders, probably for the music production and monetary reasons also. Explained.
Good looking knot but have settled on FG at home and double uni on the water… have been getting fish sharked and the double uni has proven a good knot if tied well… the FG knot much smaller and casts far better! I like seeing how other knots are tied but don’t see any reason to be proficient at tying a third joining knot.
Thanks!
Good knot. Annoying noise!
👍👍👍
But you’re lucky you found this video 😂

and yep had to turn it down all the way to even be able to watch it.
This beat rides out! If he had a fiddle and banjo in the background you wouldn’t have had any complaints. GTFOH!!
Best tutorial!!! Beautiful easy knot. No babbling. Thank you!
Thank you. I thought I was the only one that gets annoyed by the tv star wannabe's. They spend 20 minutes to get to a 3 minute video.
Been using this for years. Way way easier and faster than any other knot for tying braid to leader. And very strong, have never had one unravel. Thanks for enlightening everyone.
Does it work if the monk leader is a lot thicker than the braid? We use a lot of 40-50lb braid to 60-80lb mono for jigging.
@@frankmartinez6657 FG it is my guy!
2 uni knots boom and way stronger.
@@h1c2e35 have fun pulling that thru your guids...
@@nonameforprivacy3303 i do all the time and you got to be smarter not to do that anyways LOL can you even fish my guy?
Finally!! A braid to leader knot that doesn't require three hands to tie!! Thank uou!!
😂😂😂
The FG knot is literally the best knot out there when it comes to braid to fluo. And you only need 2 hands

@@smerchly no, i only use my two hands.. and it takes me roughly 1 minute to tie it. where would my feet come in place?
@@smerchly i also tie it with a .07 braid to .25 mono leader or .10 braid to .45 mono leader... makes no difference to me
You have answered my prayers. I am new to all of this and have been going crazy trying to tie a proper Alberto. This is so easy and makes a nice, strong yet thin knot.
I’ve caught hundreds of fish on this knot and I have never broken a knot. Nice!!

Excellent knot, I prefer this over an FG knot, I put a drop of super glue on the knot also. Tip from the great Roland Martin.
I love the knot. I hate the "music".
Your knot videos work for me. Thanks man.
Шедеврально!!! КЛАССНО ПРИДУМАНО!!! 🤗👍👍👍
Oh my god, I feel like every "mind blown" meme wrapped into one. This is soooooooo much easier than other knots.

This is a terrible know funky Alberto is way more better
Thanks! That's a really good video on a sweet strong knot.
Learned a killer new knot and took a shot for some reason too 🔥
brilliant knot for tying a shock leader for bream fishing in uk. Cheers
I like this knot, one of my favorites.. Like that catchy music . thanks!
Tuyệt vời!!! Để thực hiện, đơn giản mà CHẮC CHẮN BỀN ĐẸP 👍👍👍👍😜
All knots are easy, smooth and compact when you tie 50# braid to 10# fluoro. Not so much when it's 30 and 30.
Ive done this on 30 30 and it was fine. Just have to make sure the loop stays straight as you tighten up otherwise youll end up with an unfinished SC knot real quick.
Just need to hold those ends real tight and give it a lot of pressure to get it to cinch up. 10# braid to 8# fluro. Took me 4 tries the first time, but now it’s all good.
Or 0.6 and 1
Your videos do knot work for me!
Very nice x will be using this in future
Looks like a good knot to me many thanks
Easiest one to follow so far.. 👍🏻
Similar to a double uni except bring the line through the loop after wrapping it! Nice job 👍 and thAnk you 💯
Thank you. The video is very clear and the motion is very slow to demo. Well done.

You need a minimum of 60lb using a 6oz lead if your pendulum casting etc
That's pretty cool !!! Thanks !!!
Thanks. Works perfect
Очень крепкий и надежный узел ..спасибо всегда пользуюсь им
Nice! I'm going to use it.
I've been tying an alberto knot for a while now. This looks so much simpler, but just as effective. Can't wait to try this knot 🤘
Cool knot. Cool music too!
This is my go too, but I tie a bimini twist in the braid first, then do the Yucatan, absolute beast of a knot
The bimini twist is pointless for this knot.
@@abdul-hadidadkhah1459 it adds shock absorption in the braid, which is important when using short fluoro leaders
Nice ... definitely a keeper!
Thanks ❤. Very Easy trick
This line is very strong and stretches great when setting the hook or fighting and bringing in the big fish. For the value of the line which isn’t much this is the right line for you if you want to save money and catch fish.
No matter what I do this know always slips when I sinch it together I cannot get it to stick. Not sure what I’m doing wrong
Cook knot. I have to mute it and play it at 2x speed but cool knot.

@@markrigg6623 Okay, but he said he used the Alberto Knot.
Interesting knot. However that background "music" is anoying AF.
Nice will definitely try it
Needed a refresh thanks
☺️
Good knot...... Crap background noise
thanks
Idk everyone complaining about the background music but oddly I was digging it lol
Interesting knot!
Awesome mono burning knot
Nice video, well done, champion
Every time I tried The mono just pulled right out!
Favorite song, kids dancing!
That's a good knot and so easy to do
Its the easiest knot for sure just not sure how strong it is with the mono leader cinching down on itself 😎
Great music! Can’t wait to try the knot.

I do a Bimini on the braid first, then the Yucatan, about 7 turns for 40lb braid.
One or two more turns for thinner braid, vice versa with one less turn for 80lb.
I use this knot but, l will wrap it about 20 times.
Tight lines everyone!
Uni to uni for me. Smaller, just as strong and uses less line waste.
Back to back uni won't go through guides.well. and for stickbaiting and using poppers it will take your tip off with a 16foot trace
Uni to unit also sucks big time when the line is over 30 lbs. Its just too damn bulky.
I've spliced uni to uni on long lines in Kodiak and NEVER had one break and on my bait casting surf perch rod with 20# test same thing.
I'm gonna try it 👍
Perfeito amigo 👍
I'll take that over the nailless nail knot for fly-fishing --thank you very much.
Easy,excellent and strong
Nice one 👍🏻

I've been using an updated albright knot for this. I wrap out 12 then back 3 over the top. I'm assuming you can tie the Yucatan knot faster?

I like tying the blood knot
Im lucky I found this music!
FG knot RULES
Will the Yucatan knot go through micro guides without any problems? Thanks
Man I Love this knot thanks
My favorite knot for this. Didn’t know what it was called
Are you winding the leader, or the base line?
BOMB !
I couldn't get this knot to stay with the leader on the left, so i reversed them and made the loop with the leader and it worked. Was i missing a step trying it the way the video shows?
Marvelous
I love everything about this video
I don't fish. Please explain why I (no one else, just me) am lucky to have found this video. Enlighten me.
Blackwashing great videos that are already out there with the help of youtube insiders, probably for the music production and monetary reasons also.
Explained.
Does the tag end gets caught in guides?
Thanks bruh!
oke bruh
Good looking knot but have settled on FG at home and double uni on the water… have been getting fish sharked and the double uni has proven a good knot if tied well… the FG knot much smaller and casts far better! I like seeing how other knots are tied but don’t see any reason to be proficient at tying a third joining knot.
With 0.3pe thread and 0.165mm leader, how many turns do you need? Thank you very much, stay healthy
Not bad but the FG knot is just as easy to tie and way smoother through the guides.
Great but which one is braid and which one flourcarbon?
One of the easiest knots to tie. How reliable is it?
Great music....KNOT!!!
Just kidding. Thanks for the video!
On which side (color) would you tie the knot?
Make the loop part a bimini twist and you have one of the world's strongest knots.
굿입니다
Expert knot tying 👍
No big booty women 👎
This knot want work for me on 8lb line just slips through
Same and it’s driving me insane
Amazing
Thanks
Ok, you win. Subscribed. Have to watch on mute, this old guy isn't a fan of that noise.
😁😁😁😁 lm sorry sir 🙏🙏🙏
Nice and easy to tie but will slip with tighter lines.
All these criticisms....any knot is fine. Rub some super glue on it. Good for life
Obviously some stange usage of the word "lucky" I wasn't previously aware of......
Good knot but the music is unbearable
To you
