There are a few other videos on the Tube showing how to tie the GT KNOT. However, this video is absolutely the easiest to understand. It makes all of the other videos obsolete I think. When I watched this it began with a good close up and that close up image never left. I did not have to watch hands, but could easily see what the fingers were doing all the time. Perhaps the neatest part to understand, is that after the basic "Square Knot" is formed at the beginning, and made with 2 Wraps instead of the usual 1 wrap that we all learn as kids, the gentle pull on the lines forms the "Figure 8". This then gives the 2 holes through which the Braid is pushed through, first from the top and coming up underneath to go through the other hole of the "Figure 8". This is really an innovative feature of the GT Knot. Once my dimwitted mind understood this thing, I felt a great confidence.
Double uni is not practical for larger line diameters. When you have 200 lb mono or fluoro, the wraps don't cinch properly and its way too large. Just because it works for certain line diameters doesn't mean its great for all lines. The FG is a better knot for larger diameter lines since it doesn't require the line to wrap around itself to form a knot. That knot is two to three times the diameter of the line without a knot.
I like this one if its outside the guides. The Tony Penya forms a little sleeker cone to get through the guides and put on the reel. This one is strong though, a figure 8 and a uni.
This is the best knot for sure, I have never had a leader come loose with this knot. It's extremely strong and very easy to tie so mistakes are not made.
Just a suggestion, next time use either bigger line to show the knot, or different colored rope, easier for you to tie and for everyone to see. Great vid.
Best braid scissors, Fiskers kid scissors that your children 7se in elementary school. $2.99 can buy extras for almost nothing. Have used mine for 4 years and they still work like new.
Very strong knot but not as strong as the FG in my test. I learned to tie the FG in my hands now and can do a 20 wrap knot in under a minute. Uni knot for hooks and FG for leaders is about all you need the majority of the time. I have used the GT knot with good results but prefer the FG.
Tying the FG in rough weather is futile for me. I tie a double Uni on the boat but may give this a shot. Threading through that figure eight might be tricky with smaller leader material.
No it not. Been there done that. I have a spinnerbait still on its way to the other side of earth because of this knot. Fg all the way, it has never failed me.
Almoondo, sorry that this answer is late, but the answer is yes. Fluorocarbon, Monolfilament, and Nylon can all be connected to the Braid with this knot.
The next big innovation in line will be the elimination of knots between braid and fluorocarbon and use of a bonding agent and/or a small micro sleeve each line end can feed into and be sealed with heat or epoxy to bond the two lines together. People hate tying knots and a good engineer will put an end to the cumbersome knots. I am working on some innovations now to solve this problem..
Yeah, but the uni knot itself with mono is very bad, if a bass takes ur lure, most likely it will cut you off from the line to line knot point, I think that inside the knot, the mono or flouro is all twisted and handed, and the braid makes it fraid, I know a lot aboutwhats wrong with the uni knot(line to line with braid) because I lost too many fish on it
When you tie the knot, if the tag end of the mono is going left (so your spool is on the right) should you feed the braid left to right and tie the uni on the main line above the figure 8 mono knot or feed the braid right to left and tie the uni effectively on the tag? I assume it’s the first way. Cheers
Sir regz. Pede mag tanong. Yung mainline ko kasi nylon (florou) for medium set up. Ok lang ba full nylon bali wala ako leader line o need pa leader line pero ano gagamitin kong line
Kung nylon na main line mo no need na mag leader line. Nga pala mas maganda braid line ang mainline mo. Lalo na pag ang fishing na ginagawa mo is lure casting.
Double Uni-knot for me especially in low light conditions. You don't need to try to thread the line through small openings and you are using a Uni-knot on one side anyway. Why not just do a double?
@@mattthornton3942 Exactly. You're always tying lighter liter line to heavier main line and as we both know breaks happen on the liter line...not the joining knot itself. I miss fishing the FL Gulf Coast, but that's about all.
I have watched about a hundred videos on how to tie the GT knot but I have to say that this is the best and simplest tutorial of them all
Thanks for filming this from the point of view of the person tying the knot. Much easier to copy
This is like a hybrid of a uni to a slim beauty! I'll keep this in mind!

Used the double uni for 25 years never lets you down salt or freshwater never lost a fish to date an excellent knot,para

Ayos to mas madali sa FG knot.. matibay din tested na.. salute master!
Simple pero super effective ..nice sharing lakay.
salamat
Thx best knot tying video I’ve seen
Nice! I’ll try this one, sir Regz!
Nice manong. Strongest braid to fluoro knot on earth. 😁 Good to know you have a youtube page all about fishing. Keep it up!
amazing work👍🏻
I came to see the knott and stayed for the music
Ganda pag ka tali sir rigz salamat sharing nang kaalam po godbless
nagkalami ako master, baliktad pala, hahaha
salamat dito!
Nice n Strong Knot 👍
Watching from New Delhi India
nice tip boss...tight lines!
Great knot. Just love to try and tie that one on a rocking boat.
Idol more power...
Request braid to braid
I like this one if its outside the guides. The Tony Penya forms a little sleeker cone to get through the guides and put on the reel. This one is strong though, a figure 8 and a uni.
Pashout out sa next video sir Regz 😊🎣
I used to use this knot (but knew it by another name) but swapped over to FG as I found the FG to be stronger. Great vid though!
Thanks for the info!
That's a good knot. I tie mine just a little bit differently but with the same result.
Anybody who's tried to cut braid with clippers knows exactly why the end of the video was cut out haha
I still can't find the best thing to cut braid CLEANLY🤣🤣
Nail clippers are awesome for all kinds of line. Much better than scissors in my opinion.
Try braid scissors they work amazing or a pocket knife while keeping tension
You're right!! It ain't an easy task to cut the braid line by clipper. 😂😂😂
ha ha ha its true I cant find a way to make it clean.
This is the best knot for sure, I have never had a leader come loose with this knot. It's extremely strong and very easy to tie so mistakes are not made.
What knot are you tying to you hook
The only knot that keeps you leader if you get snagged with a uni knot is FG.
I tie a Palomar knot anytime I use braid.
The GT, Double Uni, and the Palomar....the only knots you need. Tight Lines!!!
Loop knot
Double uni is garbage. Improved Alberto is much better. Or if your patient FG knot. Uni knots are for lazy people. Also weakest point in your line
Thanks for the video
the best broo...👍
Nice brother.....🤙👍 thank u🙏
Idol sana sa susunod may pa give away na ng mga fishig gears hehehe
Just a suggestion, next time use either bigger line to show the knot, or different colored rope, easier for you to tie and for everyone to see. Great vid.
It's not a uni to uni. However it's the same knot people use to tie sabiki branches to the sabiki's main line.
Nice knot tutorial..
thx sir for sharing apply ko ito salamt po
Great sharing katesting
What’s up with the pinky nails😂🤣
Blast nail for that sugar.. 😂
Definitely for cocaine.
Yes! Coke nail! Guy must be hardcore to have em on each hand!
ang galing ng stroke mo sa pagbuhol kaibigan.
salamat po
Tq the knots idol..
It resists abrasion better than any mono I've tried or seen

Sudah berkali kali aku nonton noj video.....krn sangat bermanfaat buat aku pemula....🙌🙌🙏 salam dari pemula salam silaturahim...🙏🙏
nice tip
Terbaik info hadir...mantap
Ayos lkay. Frm Bahrain
fish be with you kabayan.
soooo its basically a surgeons knot with a uni knot added?
I would call that a half and half. Half slim beauty and half uni knot
when did the double uni knot become a gt knot?
Cool tutorials lods👍🏻
Salamat sir
hi idol pa Shout out po .
dami kona po natutunan sa mga video mo .
Fish be with you sir.
Where do you buy Maine line, LL Bean?
Nice info for newbie like me, thanks so much👍
Thanks
I just wish everybody would stop claiming to have the strongest knot or joint.
The Best Bro... 👍
The only problem with the video is I need an electron microscope to watch it.
That is not the GT knot that won the strongest knot contest. Gets a lot of views, but it's not the one the true GT knot.
nice 🖒🖒🖒🖒
Show de bola parabéns.
Definitely strongest and easiest Knot I ever used. Started with BB, now I'm using also for jigging, after FG, double uni, Albright and carrot failed.
Looks straightforward. Is this better than FG knot? Thanks?
as my test...maybe not。。。。
No it not. Been there done that. I have a spinnerbait still on its way to the other side of earth because of this knot. Fg all the way, it has never failed me.
Nice master , lock down parin ba dyan sa area nyo? Sayang di na natuloy ang bass fishing natin.
ECQ padin din sir.
Is it ok to cut the mono line that close go the knot.? Can it become undone?
Yes, as long as you do it right. just leave about 1mm-2mm tag line
Is this good for a braid to fluorocarbon leader?
Almoondo, sorry that this answer is late, but the answer is yes. Fluorocarbon, Monolfilament, and Nylon can all be connected to the Braid with this knot.
Nice idol shout-out
salamat sa tip sir regs god bless and stay safe po tayung lahat
reliable and strong....goodbye FG.
The next big innovation in line will be the elimination of knots between braid and fluorocarbon and use of a bonding agent and/or a small micro sleeve each line end can feed into and be sealed with heat or epoxy to bond the two lines together.

Good to know
🤣 good luck
Much easier to tie this than the FG in a kayak while in the ocean lol.
The world's strongest knot is!!! The F.G is more than 100% strong and much much better than the Red Phillips.
FG definitely isnt 100%.... the PR is close to 100% (so is the GT knot)
FG is less than 80% braid to mono/flouro
Not a true GT. The braid should have a Bimini twist. This is a figure 8 with a Uni Knot.
👍👍👏👏👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Do i need to use a microscope for this knot?
I love this knot than FG knot
Can I use it for Lrf?
Good good..
This is just a knot with a uni knot added correct?
Yeah, but the uni knot itself with mono is very bad, if a bass takes ur lure, most likely it will cut you off from the line to line knot point, I think that inside the knot, the mono or flouro is all twisted and handed, and the braid makes it fraid, I know a lot aboutwhats wrong with the uni knot(line to line with braid) because I lost too many fish on it
@@donaldtouma864 I have found when using braid to mono I bouble the braid for a mono and brade unie knot I usually turn the mono 4to 5 and the braid 6
Hey whats that tune playing. Real pretty.
Fun times by jayjen
Nice tips 👍👍
Wow
Think the knot can hold up in big tarpon ?!?!?
So a gt knot is just a combination of a figure 8 and a uni knot?
The easy version.
😎🎣👌🏽👍🏾☘️
Check out Red Phillips knot. Even better, use FG knot.
thanks for your suggestion.
Some would say this is a slightly different version of the Red Phillips knot.
i thought your supposed to go around main leader line and the tag end when doing the uni
Dude both the tag lines were on the left and you cut the main. I hate it when I do that
Yes, I noticed that, too.
Yep, I noticed that. Crap demonstrate did it wrong pal.
the only difference from a uni to uni knot is the 1st knot, however I have tried it and it is indeed super strong and very fast/easy to do.
When you tie the knot, if the tag end of the mono is going left (so your spool is on the right) should you feed the braid left to right and tie the uni on the main line above the figure 8 mono knot or feed the braid right to left and tie the uni effectively on the tag? I assume it’s the first way. Cheers
Nice coke nail!
I want to pee everytime im doin this knot 🤣 sane as putting string to small needle
Fg all day

Double uni is a horrible knot. Awesome fail point. Use other knots that actually are stronger than your lines
@@pain_weaver Not in my experience. The mono always broke leaving the entire knot on the line.
I've caught hundreds of 30 lb snook using Double Uni knots... just sayin.. and if liter breaks its never at the knot
@@mattthornton3942 Exactly. You're always tying lighter liter line to heavier main line and as we both know breaks happen on the liter line...not the joining knot itself. I miss fishing the FL Gulf Coast, but that's about all.
@@Dragonspad liter line??? You tryinv to say leader???
Good day po ask ko lng po kung ano ba dapat gamitin pang main line pag heavy set up. pang jig po
Braded or leader ?
Braid line for mainline.
@@regzfishingtv salamat po sir regs.
Ini knot yang selalu saya pakai
Kuat kah knot ini buat popping om ?
@@putramlinas1725 ga kuat om....mending Relix knot
Would have to have a magnifying glass to tie this
Ferry good
Sup with that long pinky cocaine nail? Lol
Still stronger relix knot dude.. Try it
Correction...PR knot with bobbin tool is strongest knot with 100% knot strength
For you it is.
Regz Fishing Tv A single minded opinion is NOT a Correction. GT knot is good enough for me. Thank you for this video. Sub!
So its basically a single uni with figure of 2 knot as a stopper instead of a diuble uni...
