This is in fact a PR Bobbin knot. The device is effectively the electronic version of the manual bobbin. It does seem to work well ! Thanks for posting it !
Not an FG knot. The FG not alternates loops between two different strands... this knot... like an albright or PR bobbin, has the loops in one direction, in succession, in two different layers. Not the same not. And i dont think this is quite the same as a PR bobbin but as others have commented, they make a tool for that too
I'm very curious. Is an FG knot stronger than simply connecting your main to leader using a swivel barrel and your knot of choice? I would greatly appreciate your insight🙏
@@andremiller1566 sometimes the FG knot can be *too* strong, meaning, in case of a snag the braid line won't break on the actual knot, but somewhere else up its length, which sometimes can be undesirable.
in other words, the FG knot retains the original line strength. and that's easy to explain once you think of it: there is NO knot per se, as in, there is not a single point of the braid line cutting into itself with this knot.
I'm very curious. Is an FG knot stronger than simply connecting your main to leader using a swivel barrel and your knot of choice? I would greatly appreciate your insight🙏
@@andremiller1566 FG knot would not be stronger. BUT it allows you to use a long leader and you can reel in into the spool. This is helpful in many situations. I use this knot on all my spin tackle. I can use 15lb braid but adjust leader to different sizes. I change between 6,8,10 lb test very often.
I just seen this somewhere else and had to look it up. When I did a search for it I also came up with the FG Wizz....... I'd go with the FG Wizz over this contraption.It doesn't need batteries,no need to use both hands and your teeth,and being made of wood it'll float unlike this thing that will only stop sinking once it hits Davy Jones's Locker. I can also make one for next to nothing since I do woodworking.
This looks like an excellent tool for me as I have a badly damaged left hand. How heavy of mono or flouro leader can this be used with? I fish with 60lb and 80lb mostly.
I bought this device on eBay. LEO brand. Watched the video about ten times It didn't work for me at all. When I try tightening the "knot" the mono line keeps sliding out. Find it hard to understand how this "knot" could work even in theory because it is essentially multiple twists of braid around the mono that you run down then up. If you think about it logically it comes as little surprise that the mono pulls out from those twists when you try tightening the "knot" ☹️
@@denisboulavine5007 Hello Denis, Sorry, but I'm not sure what LEO brand is... I understand it doesn't *seem like it should work, but done correctly, it surprisingly does. That's what the FG knot is -- alternating braid wraps on leader. It works on the principle like a Chinese Finger Trap. I have found the key to tying it properly is to 'serve' the knot. JP DeRose has a good video showing what he means by 'serving' the knot: ua-cam.com/video/OWI1bZUvp_M/v-deo.html . The first time I used the Knot Assist 2.0 (also my first FG knot), my leader pulled through as well. That's when I found JP's video. After properly serving my knots before finishing, I have never had one fail. Hope this helps 😀
@@denisboulavine5007 Sorry, I got notification of your comment and assumed it meant you replied to my post. That said, 'serving' the knot should also apply with that tool. Same principle. There are other videos showing PR knot.
It would be cool… if that thing would make a FG knot. In fact, the knot he made is so simple I don’t see the need for a tool unless you are handicapped in some way.
I know nothing about fishing Why is this not a pr knot or whats the difference? Is it weaker? If it is weaker, could you use that for connecting two fishing lines anyways? I saw this for cheap online and am thinking about buying a bunch and giftig them to local hobby fishermen at our river. Dont want to do it if its trash. Why would you even want to connect to lines together, is it when one spool is almost out but you want to use it up before throwing it away?
Hey. It might be that this tool is not for them as it depends on the type of fishing. Ask them if they would use it and if not, it's a tool that is nice to have in your tackle box...
I can see why people would like this machine but it’s probably quicker and still less fiddly to just use a double uni knot to join your leader to main line.

Hello. You can find them here: amzn.to/3cZYwBH but I would not recommend them. If you want quality scissors, which are only +2$, check out these instead: amzn.to/3nYEXAb
It’s a poorly repurposed Bimini twist! Or pr knot but lacks the clinching of the fg knot and looks like it’ll take longer to tie with the tool just my opinion!
@@fishmadpro7210 thanks a lot. yes, it is not an fg knot, rather an improved albright knot, but still, it looks like it does the job pretty well. will wait and see. from 3:20 and onwards it is the same as the fg knot pretty much.
The bottom end of the tool that the mono/fluro clips into damages the line, absolutely useless for fine lines below 20lb, good tool for cutting line tho 😂 why they make the clip so sharp 😢
I might of said it the wrong way...it's not easy to speak on camera as many people think. The main purpose was to show how to use the tool and I think that all was covered...👌
I bought it and it was a nightmare. I've tried dozens of times but there's no way I can complete a knot. After inserting the mono (0.55) on the left and the braid (1 PE) on the right and starting the machine, the two threads intertwine in the upper part and it jams.
@@fishmadpro7210 I don't think it's faulty, the mechanism seems to work fine. The problem is that the two lines systematically intertwine at the top where they exit. In your opinion, is it possible that it is not suitable for 1PE braided line? in theory it should be suitable from 0.6 onwards
@marcospalluto. It might be. I'd suggest testing it out with different line types and sizes, and if the same is happening with all of them, It's definitely the gadget, not the lines. BTW, sorry to hear that you've got issues with the tool...
In the time that it took you to make one knot with this gadget, and on your other video, the other gadget, I could’ve made three Yucatán knots by hand. So much for gadgets.

Unfortuneately this is NOT an FG knot
I was about to say the same thing .
I'm not sure about the knot but I like your presentation style, well done. One thing, it's a half hitch, not a half inch. 😊
🎣👍
It’s a PR knot but bravo on the demonstration and presentation.
@@TheBentarm actually it’s not even a half hitch it’s a full hitch 👍
It's the best tutorial video on UA-cam that is made by the electronic Knot tool.
Otima explicação por esse ângulo fica bem melhor o entendimento
It’s a PR knot. They are made with a PR bobber and on ve you get the hang of the technique it’s faster than the machine.
PR which is very strong and much easier than the FG itself

Hello Klaus. It works perfectly well with 0.6-3 mm. line.
Looked more like a improved Albright knot.
Like an Alberto knot, but not quite.
Wrong the Albright/Alberto knot has a doubled over leader and this ties around a single strain
This is a big Help.
This can be done with anything from a power drill to a doorknob and pencil.
Too bad that is not an FG knot .. there are no tools out there for an FG knot. that's a PR knot .. a bobbin tool does the same much cheaper.

Awesome tool been looking for something like this, can you tell me the brand and where to get it, Thank you.
Hello. The link to the tool is within the description...
Thank you .awesome.
Honnêtement je préfère le Knot Assist 2.0
This knot is PR knot or reverse PR knot.
thanks for the video it helped heaps. thank you
Glad it was helpful!👌
Looks like an unlooped Alberto knot.
Nothing to do with Alberto Knot because in Alberto the braid is wrapped in a double mono line in the video the knot is 100% the FG knot.
yeah not even same arena as alberto
Would just slip off as soon as you put any weight on it, no tension when doing the windings
Is the best👍
That's not at all close to being a FG knot. I believe that's closer to being a PR bobbin?
Thats what I thought? The FG was all about the alternate line twists. This just wraps one around the other almost in the same style as an Allbright.
this is a PR knot NOT FG but still great strong knot
Half Hitch?

@@fishmadpro7210 good to know, I have the boomerang snips already. Thanks for the reply!
That's is basically an ALBRIGHT knot which in my opinion is better than a fg and I can tie it 5 times faster by hand
I can tie 3 real fg knots in the time of this video while being in my bellyboat out on the water
video please
Yeah u are right, a real fisherman doesn´t need any tool especially on the water. much faster without it.
When you are young and don't have any problems with your hands or fingers - Yes, but with time, all can change...
@@fishmadpro7210 I agree and eyes are a second next to the hands
But is it strong enough???

Hi Could fly line be used with this tool to connect leaders
Hello. You can use any type of line as long as it is 0.6-3 mm. in diameter.
No- just a few turns in a nail knot is easy and secure on fly line
Can use for main line braid 6lbs ?
Hey. Yes, you can
The bottom end of the tool that the mono/fluro clips into damages the line, absolutely useless for fine lines below 20lb, good tool for cutting line tho 😂 why they make the clip so sharp 😢
es necesario quemar el fluorocarbono? gracias
Sorry, I do not speak this language...
no, but you must pull the knot tight very hard after tying it, and only then you cut the leader tag end. it's not considered done until you do that.
Nice demo but that's not an FG. Probably closer to a PR knot.
