      This knot has its place: Heavy tackle, heavy drag, prolonged fights, and heavy leaders. I'd tie the PR knot on my heavy LBSF gear to join shock leader to braided main line, or my reef donkey boat rigs while watching TV, but when using medium tackle for bluefish or pompano, a fast double uni or improved Alberto will do.

      @ryanbernard6550 3 роки тому

      Ive had recent issues with albrights. Learned the FG knot and stopped having issues. Then went back and found a good way to finish the albright so now i use the albright with the 3 hitch finish for lighter line (30lb braid to 15lb flouro) and FG with a risotto finish (the backwards uni he used on this knot) for the heavier stuff. Havent had a break since

    • @karlkobler218
      @karlkobler218 10 місяців тому

      Those knots won’t allow you to fish 30# braid like this will. With this knot you could fish 20# of drag on 30# braid and not get close to breaking the line. Can’t say that about those knots.

    I like the FG wrap with 4-5 alternating squares and rizzuto finish for line to leader while I'm out fishing it is not tough to get it right fast when you've tied a few...really if you get a knot breaking you are likely not lubricating it enough or overtensioning it and damaging the mono/fluoro...I can't be keeping up with a bobbin on a boat or on the beach...:)

    8:00 - This method of finishing the knot is called a Rizzuto Finish. The half hitches before it are optional tbh. The Rizzuto tightens towards the PR knot, so they cinch into each other.

    • @Saltstrong
      @Saltstrong  5 років тому +1

      The PR knot did test out to be stronger, but the difference is very small to how much longer it takes to tie so we don't use it for the typical inshore fishing needs. It's more commonly used for offshore deep droppers where there's a lot of time and money devoted to catch a trophy.

    I bought a bobbin, sat down to use it and gave up after 10 minutes and tied an FG and went fishing. I'll have another crack at it using the method in this video, he starts off a little different than other tutorials wrapping by hand first.
    I'm curious when he melted the mono tag did he push the braid into it whilst it was still melted? I've always kept heat away from braid as I thought it weakened it

  • @dongalow
    @dongalow 5 років тому +3

    I’ve learned an even better PR version from some slow pitch jigging pioneers from Japan. I love the FG but the PR beats it all the way. Take the extra time to do it before your trip and You will never have to retie on the boat again. In fact, it’s so strong I’ve never had a break off in so long I can’t remember. Only draw back is if you hook the ocean floor, you better pray you can jimmy your lure out. Unbreakable.

    They are faster to tie than an fg knot when u tie them often. Hes giving a demonstration and explaining it step by step. I can whip a 3 " pr and finish it with a 5 turn uni reversed onto itself in under 60 sec. Nothing touches the pr knot except a hollowcore splice and even with that ill serve the end with a nail knot to a pr knot with some 80lb braid. i preach pr knots to everyone but the responces in the comment section are the typical response i get as well. Once u use a pr knot u will never use any other knot for braid to mono. The future is now lol

    I'm sorry guys I love your channel but you lost me at the 2-minute Mark. I just think this whole knot thing is getting a little crazy. Let's be realistic, if you look at most of the records for fish caught they were caught years ago, I'm talking about when it was still just straight mono all the way or maybe a swivel to a leader. I definitely think it's necessary to learn to tie a couple line to leader knots but it's getting a little overboard now. Of course what do I know to each their own...

    I've found no knot stronger than the seaweed knot.If you cast your braided line rig into seaweed dense water with strong rips (like remnant tides from a hurricane far far away) it will amaze you the knots you thought not possible by the time you manage to retrieve it (if you're that lucky).No other knot is stronger,not one.

    If you want more fishing time, this is the knot you tie. I mean you will never know when you'll fight the fish of a life-time, but with this knots you are always ready. I know how to tie a FG knot, but its only my back up knot. My thing about FG is you're going to ruin your hands tying the perfect FG, if your not getting cut its not the perfect FG. I also hate that way tightening the FG knot which weakens the leader/flouro (mirco-cracks) just to lock in the braid to leader. I just tie PR knots, my setup are heavy braid so my leader 20ish yards or just enough to re-tie by jigs/hooks after a fight for the trip. I caught a 145lb BFT with PR knot 65lbs to 50lbs flouro. I tied my friend 50lbs to 50lbs flouro, landed his 70lbs BFT.
    PR knot is for big game fishing, but I learned to just double up the braid for lighter setup otherwise I just use FG for lighter setup but again, I hate cutting my hands. I'm so lazy, I only use two half-hitch knots then 5 loop reverse uni-knot to lock it in, hasn't failed me yet....

    This is an SC knot with a bobbin. You can do the same thing in 1/10th of the time without hardware.

    Royal Polaris knot! Easy and fast. Could have tied 10 RP knots in the time it took to do this sterioded fg knot.
