Connecting Braid to Fluorocarbon with Gerald Swindle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2018
- Using braided line as the main line on a spinning setup is one of the best options possible. Having a strong knot to connect a fluorocarbon leader to the main line ensures that this particular combo is as strong as can be. Gerald Swindle shares the knot that he prefers to use when connecting braided line to fluorocarbon.

That knot is so good. I've been using it non stop for 4 years. Swindle is right, it's strong as hell.
I've been looking for a quick, easy and strong knot to tie when I'm on the water. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks Gerald !
I ordered this to net the algae in a large pond in our backyard. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxphFK7ETiDP5G4IGsNcg7vbASDp_YfDpI The net is very sturdy and easy to maneuver in the water. The angled edges make it easier to get into the smaller spaces among the rocks. I didn't realize that the front of the net doesn't actually have a frame to it, just the sides do, but it seems to work just fine. The handle extends to various sizes, which is a great feature when I'm in areas that are tight with shrubs at the edges of the pond. I can collapse the handle so it doesn't get stuck in the bushes.
It's refreshing to say the least finding a knot like the red Phillips. I find that it's almost as strong as the Alberto not as strong as the FG but here is where it wins... It's freaking simple as hell. This is a knot I'm glad I found for my dad. He's old fashioned. He doesn't want to learn knots that complicate fishing which is ok. But now he's got a new strong knot
"I'm ready to land Shammo the Whale. On 7lb line. There you go." lol
God Bless Gerald Swindle.
He's the best at telling stories and keeping you laughing
Loved his humor! I could listen to him talk about fishing all day.
I switched from double uni to this knot as soon as i seen the simple overhead knot on one side on this knot. Pro says he uses it everyday, good enough for me.
G man is the most entertaining angler, by that i doesn't mean he is not good he is just amazing he makes everything interesting even the crazy nots two thumbs up
Thank you, Great Info!
Awesome knot g-man I always used the double uni, but this looks like it is faster and easier to come off the spool. Allows for a longer leader and more reties without putting a new leader on
Been waiting on u to show us how u tie flouro to braid! I'll try it!
New to fishing here, I recently bought my first fishing gear and my line is a 25 lb braid , didn't knew that I would be needing a "leader" for it until I saw your video "Connecting Braid to Fluorocarbon with Gerald Swindle". My query now is what diameter and lb my flourocarbon leader should be that would match my 25 lb braid. Great video and truly educational.
Seems simple. I will give it a try. Do you find this know to be smaller than a double uni? Strong than double uni? Thank you for the time.
Cheers Mate.
Hey Matthew McConaughey have you switched to the Alberto knot yet? Great video! Thank you.
I tie a gt knot. Alot of folks say it will fail. I beg to differ. When I marry 50lb braid to a 15lb flouro leader and can boat flip a 5lber that's where the rubber meets the road. Plus it casts good as well.
damn that's the thinnest joining knot I've seen yet!
TiNY it's a good one
@@FishermansHandbook they say the FG is smallest, but idk how you get any smaller than this red Phillips.
Is that like a double uni knot? I’ve been using it with a lot of success but lately I’ve been trying to use a FG knot.
Would that knot work good on a bait casting reel setup. I tie the FG knot when I use a braid to fluorocarbon line on my bait casting reels, this one actually looks easier to tie. Would it be as strong?
I've found that knot strength with connection knots has more to do with how well it's tied. I got best at tying a blood knot so that's what I use. It's a fairly large knot and I use it on all of my baitcaster setups. So this knot by Gerald will definitely work with a baitcaster.
@@Jon-nz3dm WE agree totally!
Good luck at the classic
It is strong as can be. So much so that when I hang bottom my leader tends to break if I have to break off (as opposed to just my bait). Pretty annoying. Any recommendations?
I’ve seen this knot tied 3 different ways...
I have no idea what you just did- lol! You should have done it one more time...
I watched a video of you saying the easiest an the best way to tie braid to florocarbon was the Blood knot? Now I'm all confused, This is why I use one type of line on each of my reels
Isn't that hook knot called the trilene knot?
No. It’s called the double shindo. But the trilene is among the best for this purpose and easier, so you should use that
I’ve tried the braid to leader on spinning gear but I still find myself going right back to straight 6 or 8lb fluoro. I see no benefit especially in wind braid flies all over where fluoro sinks you still stay in contact with the bait.
Kyle Gadd I can’t ever seem to keep straight fluoro from looping up and holdin memory. What do you like to use?? Fluoro that is?
Kyle Gadd that’s why I like the braid. It stays flat and pretty for me
Nice way to teach us. Lol
I hope you would tie this knot inside so we could see better
Alberto is where it’s at if u tie it right
G-Man to funny
Isn't that called a GT knot
No
PMA
Alberto much better. Then use the double pitzen knot for fluorocarbon to bait.
You should check out the Trilene knot and “Fish n Fool” knot. According to their tests, passing through the eye of the hook twice (as both of these knots do) create one of the strongest snug knots for fluoro to terminal
@C69hJc4 I used nothing but the trilene knot for fluorocarbon for years,, until I came across the double pitzen. It has worked way better for me. Consistently broke at a higher rate during my testing. I actually use it for my trilene 10lb xt trolling for walleye. Never had a break off, even on big lake erie sheepshead spinning in circles and horsing them in on an almost locked down drag. As far as the alberto knot, I believe the strongest may be the FG or whatever new one is out, but I have never broke it off either, again catching huge sheepshead while bass fishing on erie with 10lb braid and 8lb fluorocarbon leader, with drag set appropriately. These 2 knots have never failed me for the last 10 years or so. If it ever does, I will try something different as I had to with the trilene knot on fluorocarbon
@@livebig247Nice! Well I’m definitely going to try out the Pitzen now. Thanks for the tip : )
@C69hJc4 👍. If you search "shaw grigsby knot" he has a good video on it

This would be a very weak knot
It’s more than strong enough
And stop going around bashing other knots just to promote your own knot. That’s pretty sad and makes you look bad. Especially since you don’t have any studies to back it. If you wanna point to some testing that shows why it’s an unreliable knot, great! But you’re bashing on based on theory, not testing. Even if it’s weaker than your knot, which I’m sure it is, “weak” is still relative. Fisherman only need “strong enough” for their target species and something that they feel comfortable tying. Considering Swindle is a BOSS and the knot works reliably for him in tournaments, I think your argument is shoddy at best. You invented an excellent knot (it’s what I use). Let it speak for itself.
Too fast
To much BS to make that knot lol
I agree, I'm lazy when it comes to learning knots, probably why i dont catch alot of fish.
That video actually confused me. And I tried doing it lol
The steps all seem pretty easy to me. It’s all the tag ends that I find annoying.
Useless
Try harder
What’s useless?
Sunline cost around 25 or 30 bucks
It's a double clinch knot
Berkly big game is the best line ever made and it's only 8 bucks
Sunline sucks to
I tried this knot it sucks people these fisherman only want into buy more line and make them money
I find the knot quite good. Either way, what does the knot have to do with selling line? He would be tying this knot no matter what line he is using.
