PR BOBBIN KNOT: THE UNBREAKABLE FISHING KNOT (100% Knot)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Have you tried this "unbreakable" fishing knot yet?
We couldn’t believe it when Captain Dylan Hubbard first told us that the PR Bobbin Knot has 100 percent knot strength… but so far it’s proven to be true.
The PR Bobbin Knot is the only fishing knot guaranteed to hold up 100 percent of the time (assuming you tie it correctly like Joe from Dogfish Tackle shows you in this video).
What does 100% knot strength mean?
It means that your fishing line - braid, fluorocarbon or monofilament - will break before the PR Bobbin Knot will (100% of the time).
This is the ultimate line-to-line connection.
See the full post on how to tie the PR Bobbin Knot here:
www.saltstrong...
You need to make sure you have the following items to tie this knot. What you’ll need:
Bobbin - This is a small tool that loads the tag end of your mainline up onto the tool in order to make the wraps you need to tie the PR Bobbin Knot. The bobbin helps you keep line tension during the tying process.
Mainline - You need a large amount of mainline tag end to spool onto your bobbin for the knot.
Leader Line - You need a large spool of leader line to attach to the mainline for this knot.
Steps for the PR Bobbin Knot:
Step 1 - Thread your braided line onto the bobbin
Step 2 - Spool the bobbin with your braid line
Step 3 - Tighten the bobbin's drag down
Step 4 - Overlap your leader line and braid line
Step 5 - Make wraps with your braid tag end up the leader line
Step 6 - Wrap the leader mainline around your hand
Step 7 - Spin the bobbin around your lines in tight coils
Step 8 - Unwrap your hand from the leader
Step 9 - Pinch the overlap point
Step 10 - Loosen the bobbin drag
Step 11 - Make a half hitch
Step 12 - Make another half hitch
Step 13 - Make a Uni Loop
Step 14 - Unwrap the Uni coils
Step 15 - Pull the braid ends tight
Step 16 - Cut and burn the tag ends

I does this knot on a fishing trip once, when i finished it, it's time to go home.
If u got a snag you'll be more piss than loosing big fish.
😅😅😅😅
I does this knot and it only takes 5 minutes if you are good at it bud
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.
I love this knot, and personally begin tying mine at the start of an outgoing tide, so that it will be ready to fish by the time the tide starts coming in...
This is the best knot for bluegill fishing by far.
Best comment
Try shiner, they're tough
You can then use the $75 shimano bobbin as a reel for bluegills.
Lol😂😂😂
One of the best tutorials I have seen about PR knot. Very clear steps with the right tips to go.
Thanks a lot for posting this video.
Person doing the knot should do the talking period. Too much this and that. FG is fine thank you.
FYI I learned the FG knot from Salt Strong and I don’t know how I could ever repay for this knotledge. It’s SICK! It’s changed my game completely!
Thanks y’all at Salt Strong
Glad to see that you are enjoying the FG knot as much as we do. Fish On!
I've been an FG guy for 3 years now, but watching this particular video has me convinced. I'm gonna pick up a bobbin tomorrow! Best knot video ever.
I do the PR when preparing all the rods and reels for a trip... but when I have to tie over at the beach or on the boat... I do the FG for time sake...
But that PR is definitely the gem 💎 of all knots..
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Best video out there. Thank you for sharing. I owned a bobbin for two years and finally I was able to tie the knot almost perfectly following your steps.
Glad it helped!
I'm a KISS guy. This knot is waaaaayyyy too involved. Double-uni's and Albrights have served me well.
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
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.
the knot and bobbin process looks exactly like how we create bowstring! for those who have made bowstrings before should find this really easy to master
That is EXACTLY what I was about to say.
Best explanation over all other clips, thanks
best ever presentation i lreally like saltstrong tutorials they nice , clear and perfectly filmed to observe and practice. !
Killer knot 👍, always used the FG myself. Maybe time to upgrade. Tested a 20lb power pro to 30lb leader FG knot. In my garage hung an oak kitchen chair 2’ off the ground, had to force the chair to the floor before the mono broke but the FG held
Great feedback thanks for the comment!
Too much work I’ll stick with the FG knot hasn’t failed me yet
Jinx!
Yeah, this PR knot is definitely the strongest but we can't see ourselves ever trying to it it out on the boat, kayak, or SUP. Besides, I'm trying to conserve all hair on my chest and don't need a lighter burning my man hairs... haha
It isn't stronger than the FG. It's the same. FG is easier to tie.
Agreed 100000000%
FG knot has never failed me. The leader would break instead of the knot!
Could you imagine doing all this every time you had to re-rig? lol You would spend your entire day tying knots while your buddy is catching fish.
You replace your leader everytime you change a bait? This is a leader knot not a terminal knot.
@@fishnewhere387 regardless the point is that kiss rule its always proven on the field best.!
@@fishingbear69 maybe when your catching little bass and freshwater species which barely pull 10lb of drag. PR knot isnt for small fish it is for large saltwater pelagics etc
This is what happens when trigonometry meets fishing😂😂😂 i vote fg
When gearheads take over the sport and don't ever fish you end up with $300-500 inshore reels and rods. And $50 leader to line connections.
Looks an awful lot like a Bimini Twist (another 100% knot) tied onto a single line rather than a loop. Very cool video - thanks!
easier to weave myself a new sweater then tying this knot..
Nicely done and instructed
Good info thanks
I always use fg with the same finish (risotto) as in the video and works a treat 👌
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...:)
My bobbin never leaves the house. I've never had the need to retie or change my top shot either. I don't get snags in 100 plus feet deep and use drop rigs.. chicken rigs and bank sinkers. Only time I break a line is when I get sharked
While Blackfishing yesterday I lost 4 rigs in the rocks. I couldn't image tying this in the wind, rain, and cold. I'll stick with the improved Alberto Knot or the Double Uni Knot
The finish after the 2 half hitches looks like the Rizutto knot. I use it in my lace of the half hitches for my FG knot and it has never let me down
I finish my FGs the same way so it's the same knot really
Dont knock this knot. If you have time to set up your rods before you go out its worth the effort. If you are out fishing an fg knot is fine.
Thank you for sharing
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.
congratulations on the excellent knot also you have a video for knot to solid ring (for spinning tuna)
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.
Correct quite a few smartypants people on here that have never caught a 70lb kingfish on a stickbait
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 tested this knot with zero failure before I used it to land 57 BF cows last year. I only use this for 100#+ line.
I thought you had to pull the lines tight after the first half hitch to cinch down the wraps.. even see the braid change colour. Before doing the finishing. And most wrap some hitches over the brsid alone to finish
Thanks for the comment!
Ill definitely keep this in mind next time im with the boys catching megalodons and giant squid.
Awesome! Love the tutorials ya'll!
Holy mother of all line to leader knots! You know it's a tough knot when you have to use a lighter to tie it...
Try wetting the base of the mono tag end when burning it so there very little chance to melt ur braid when same for the braid tag end
it's not meant to be used on boat - surely thats the situation in favor of FG, but when you preparing for fishing trip - I'll choose PR for sure!
shout out to my local tackle store dogfish tackle been going there since it was on redington beach!
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
Can anyone please explain what the difference is in the quality of the knot between FG and PR ? Thanks in advance to the assistants
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.
@@Saltstrong THANK YOU !!!
A Rizuto finish. The bobbin is a cool idea.
Thanks for watching!
The dude's face when you said 100% knot strength
AKA...the most complicated and time consuming way to tie the FG knot. It's basically the same knot.
@David Hendry Plus all the wastage left on the bobbin, plus the extra cost of said bobbin, plus the fact that all the waste line cost money. So all in all to use this knot it's going cost you more in time and money.
I’m a shark fisherman and I use double uni to tie my leaders and they work fine
Alot of these fancy knots are more for off shore fishing,the Reverse Albright is fine for inshore fishing.Or just use a spro #10 swivel
nice knot, i'm also doing it. but with this action at 12:00 aren't you compromise the strength of the main line?
Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community

That looks like a tough knot!! Looks awesome as well. Maybe a bit much to do on a boat but something I'd consider doing at home. $50 for the tool though.
You can get a fly tying bobbin for $10...it works just fine as long as it is tensionable
After watching this my girl said she was knot bobbin. Ha!
Liked the part when you put the braid thru the mono after using the lighter, I would say using a torch lighter to control where exactly you are burning even when the wind is blowing and avoid going under your shirt and burning your chest hahaha
Hahahaha ..imagine in a heat of a passionate fishing moment ,, wen every one is catching plenty of fish all around you,,you wouldn't even dare to take out that bobbin at all..😂
I remember when running clear mono Ande line tied with a standard 7 wrap "fisherman's knott" was ALL YOU EVER NEEDED to catch a fish from 6lbs to 600lbs. When did fishing get so damn complicated? Imagine trying to tie this on during a wide open BFT bite on a boat with swells and adrenaline? Braid ruined everything.

Will this knot work with light line?
I'll stick with an Aussie Braid for offshore and Double Uni for inshore/freshwater. Thanks.
the knot at the end is called a rizutto finish
👍
I like how the big dude translates from english to english
So complicated! I'll stick with my Yucatan any day.
We are sorry you didn't care for this video. Our goal is to reach anglers of all skill levels. We hope you enjoy the next one!
Why do all this when FG is thinner, the same strength and way easier?
I your description below your article about different knots said that NO knot is a hundred % and if some one tries to tell you otherwise that they haven't tested their knots properly
How does this work on 4 lb test mono?
One day they will do a movie of this video and Eric Bana will play you. Lol
U saw it
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.
Guy1: Says something to explain the process
Guy2: So you're -- ___________________________
I'll stick with the FG knot. This o e looks really strong though. Looks hard to tie quickly to get your line back in the water.
Good luck, God bless and holler at me if you are ever 1 man short!
Ill stick to the fg knot with a rizzuto finish. 20 wraps with fg, lock it off with the rizzuto an done strong as never failed and goes through the guides smooth as. Takes less than 5 mins to tie
How does this knot fare being reeled onto a baitcaster or spinning reel? Also, can this knot be tied with flouro and braid of much less strength, like #10 braid to #8 flouro? Thanks.

You just did an FG knot without locking wraps, but twice as long, with a Rizutto finish with burnt ends. There is nothing secret/trick about the finishing of the knot, unless you don't know what a Rizzuto finish is..
After few knots time needed for tying it's the same!
I would use this to tie on a topshot or backing, but not for leader
Will this knot work on light line? Like 6 lb mono to 20. Lb brade?
Can you use this knot for inshore for like 15lb braid to 20 or 25lb leader Fluoro
Hi I’m from South Africa. Thank you for your channel and information. Just like to know can this knot be used from mono to mono as well or can we only use the two figure 8s?
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...
Tie a knot, or load your boat, drive to the dock, launch your boat and fish.
You serve a bow string the same way. One you get the hang of it the process is very easy.
Takes way to long just tie the fg knot. This isn't a knot you can tie at night on the boat! Or if you break off on a school of fish you can just tie quickly. Looks like a strong knot tho
I like to keep it simple too... Uni to uni when I'm in a hurry and FG when there could be a mondo around.
Maybe if u tie this you wont break that fish off. Lol
Just took me 2 minutes 3 at the most to do it. On the boat in the night.
i saw the name and never heard of this knot.
Any archers out there think it looks familiar? haha. this is the main way we put serving on our strings.
Thanks for watching!
what is the thinnest diameter of braid that can be used for this knot?
I will stick with a FG. I have never had one slip
hogbelly fishing FG Risotto finish is the best!!!
Do a double uni, and spend more time fishing! R.
Solving a problem that isnt really a problem.
Do you ever wax this once its done to slide through the guides better or is that unnecessarily? Ive watched a video that tests GT knot making same claim & did a break test. Any input? Very clear instruction.
Yes wax works well or try a thin layer of UV knot sense.
I’ll do the fg k or, save time and take my chances of breaking.
Thanks for sharing!
Can this be used to join braid to braid, for eg 30lb braid to 80lb braid leader
Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community

fg knot same strengths from my experience used pr and fg for years
Now you need a special tool 🙄,,also to make an over half to an over 1inch knot in length, (fg knot with a tool),, , really now,,I believe in KISS its best of all,, keep it simple stupid..,thanks for showing me how valuable ,simple , and effective a well done albright knot is.,again thanks.
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....
Try using line tensioners
Why must all these videos be 3-4x as long as they need...could have been done in 3 minutes..
to me this looks alot easier then the fg the alberto knott is my favorite without bobbin i would like to get a bobbin tho
Thanks for the feedback, let us know how you do!
I might spend more time tying this knot than fishing
This knot is ridiculous... aint nobody got time for that...
They Australians call the last part a russutto finish. Not sure about the spelling. See Briggsy's FG knot.
Soooooo overkill!!!! I´ll continue with the FG
Shoulda tested in the shop on camera 👍
This is that night before when your getting amped up and ready to go, that's this kinda knot.
Not something I wanna be finger fu@$ing with on the boat.... or after like 10 beers.... that my friends is FG time.
That’s almost identical to a offshore hollow core braid splice serve with a half hitch and rizzuto finish.
Royal Polaris knot! Easy and fast. Could have tied 10 RP knots in the time it took to do this sterioded fg knot.
verygood

This is an SC knot with a bobbin. You can do the same thing in 1/10th of the time without hardware.
Thanks for the tip!
Start with an Australian Braid knot to a Double Bimini Twist loop to loop connection backed to a double hard traffic knot now tie that all into the super whipped hollow-core knot. After tying knots from 6am to 12noon you are ready to catch a 20" redfish !!!! 100% who cares there are 3000 99% knots.
Umm... this is a modified FG knot done with and FG tool.
Revolution Road nothing like an fg
