DON'T Go FISHING until You know THESE 5 KNOTS (Complete Knot Tutorial)

I’ve used the improved/advanced clinch knot only in fresh and saltwater for over 40 years and it has never failed me…🎣

Great video. Keep them coming.

I literally use a Palomar for everything. Works just fine.

I see so many people call that double pitzen a double uni, I assume because it's doubled over and kind of tied line a UNI.... but the double uni I know is literally two uni's to join a line to leader using two actual uni's on either end.

.

Cool knot the cross hatch whatever Alberto knot, not sure what I'll use it for being a return fisher men (about 10 years since I have been fishing, so whatever that's called that's what it is, learning some complex knots may come in handy at some point), going through about 5-10 videos every 24 hour period, figuring out what is worth keeping, subscribing to, grabbing a few playlists etc. it is a lengthy process of learning!

If you do not enjoy learning? This process is not for you lmao!

I’d rather lose a big fish than to tie that FG knot. Lol

Will definitely give it a try
Will do my own break test VS a Trilene knot
All I have used in the last 40+ years of fishing has been either the Trilene or Palomer knot
Trilene for all larger baits and Palomer for smaller baits hooks and all braided lines.

Might want to cinch that FG knot before you finish it. There’s an easier way to tie tie it for sure and it’s super clean

This video needs timestamps PLEASE!

I believe you need a major university Phd degree in Materials Engineering to tie that FG knot.

Alberto knot? That's an Albright knot.

Awesome video learned tons your experience is vast. You can see your passion in the videos. Keep up the good work until the the next one thanks.

I’m fairly new to fishing and not super consistent with tying a proper knot.
I was out for 4+ hours today and caught ONE baby bass, only for my knot to fail before I could land it!
Sooooo here I am, trying to commit these to memory so when I catch a big one it won’t get away.

I've been trying to tie the Palomar for years and it's the only knot I have consistent issues with. Seems like no matter what I try, no matter how wet (literally under water) or slow I go, it always fully tightens before the loop pulls down, leaving me a tight knot, with a big loop hanging out of it. I can tie more complicated knots all day long, but the easiest knot out there? Nope. It doesn't work for me.

One of the best knots video I ever seen! ❤

A year later and this video is still helping people . We need more collaboration videos between people in the fishing community.

@Flukemaster showed an easy way to tie the FG using the rod/reel to create the tension. I can't find his video but basically you put a loop in the braid and put the loop on the reel handle creating a bow in the rod and thus the tension. Simple and easy even on the water.

Never will I need or use the FG knot. I'm just a polamar knot user. If I lose one it was meant to be.

I'm going to show you how to tie this knot without using your mouth at all... (proceeds to use his mouth)

I've been tying the "improved clinch" for the past 27 or so years. I've not had any issues however most people I speak with try to show me other knots they claim to be "better" I understand the snell has a certain place but what is the drawback of this knot that everyone seems to speak of when they talk to me about it.

I'm really surprised you didn't mention the uni knot.

I appreciate your videos. They are helping me become a better angler. Thank you

I like a uni knot for most situations. And a double uni for braid to leader look it up its super easy and holds good. I did try that Pitsen you showed that's a good one.

Could not see FG knot….>

I can simplify it even further. Single uni for 75% of lures. Double line uni for hard hook sets or guys who can’t sleep at night, FG for braid to fluoro leader using Ott Defoe’s technique. I don’t even bother with the Palomar anymore.

That FG knot is amazing to use! I had issues with using the Double Uni with 25lb braid to 12lb Leader getting caught in the guides causing back lashing losing baits...
I recommend the FG Knot hands down!

Slim beauty fluro to fluro 🔥🔥 or braid to fluro works with both .. surgeons knot easy and near 100 percent

is this knot aka the double shindo?

Thank you, good tips.👍👍👍

Alberto for the win. The FG is nice but look how long and bulky it is. And what a pain to tie correctly. The crazy Alberto improved Alberto which is the same just add 3 extra loops at the very end is super strong I flip with it which means I’m using it for every technique except frogs

Awesome video! Somehow I missed it when you published it

Awesome info!

FG knot not the thinnest after you overhand the fluorocarbon then it’s all cap it’s literally supposed to be 1 fluorocarbon thick as opposed to Alberto or whatbe any of your other grandpas knots

If you have rods with micro guides the fg knot is the way to go if you're going to use a leader. I wouldn't really finish it with all those over hand knots though, you can see how the way he finishes his fg it gets so bulky. He doesn't even cinch down his fg knot, he just ends it with 10 over hand knots. The technique to tie the fg is good but don't finish it like that

FG knot is like tie 37 overhand knots lol

The uni knot has caught me every species without a problem

I've been using the FG.. interesting to learn but strong strong

@Mikeybalzz! That dude cracks me up.. Great vid brah

I LOVE the Palomar knot. Fast and easy.

Kudos to the first guy to figure out the FG knot!!!

Dude, I’ve got a much easier fg knot you can actually tie while fishing

Hey There...I've got a question about your double pitzen knot. Do you ever vary the number of wraps based on line test? SoP seems to use more wraps for lighter lines. Thoughts?

i usually use braid or mono because i always hear stories about flouro braking easily , i recently bought a spool of 15 lb seagar 100 % flourocarbon it worked ok on one of my spincast setups didn't break but didn't catch any real big fish either so on my spinning setup is a lews mh fast with a diawa revros 4000 and i use 30 lb braid on most all my setups so anyway i use a swivel about 18 inches above my hook and fluke so i tied the leader from swivel to fluke n hook with fifteen lb flouro good seagar brand and the first fish i set the hook on it broke clean off the swivel i tied the flouro with uni knots and wet them good before i sinched them down so i just put my braid back in place and went back fishing i do not like flouro even more after this , it is stiff and twist really bad , change my mind please because i want to use flouro but i don't trust it , maybe a different knot will help me out

Great video. Just started using the Double Piston knot recently. Shaw Grigsby showed it to our club a few months ago, works great .

What knot for tying to magdraft?
