Iv been tying this knot using a bimmany twist fornthe double for about 25 years. Never once did i think about tying it this way. You have just saved me from ever having tie a bimmany twist again. This is a bloody great strong knot. Iv never had it break on me.
Thanks a lot buddy
What name of this knot?

FINALLY…….someone giving a tutorial without talking about it for 20 minutes!
Thanks
EXACTLY I'm so sick n tired of hearing about the history of knots before the knot tying starts. Just show it so I can move-on.😆
Nothing like getting pissed off while listening to smooth jazz…
Was tying this with the wind blowing hard as hell the stupid jazz song was getting me pissed off hahaha but the knot is perfect !
I have jazz enough as it is 🤣
😂😂😂😂

Every year when bass season comes up I have to come back this video lmao, but to this day it drives me insane that you didn’t slobber that bad boy up
Hi mate its always better to wet the lines, but in some instances you can do the same.
Slobber me up
can you recommend a video on steps before tying the leader? I'm a beginner and not sure where to start
Excellent strong and neat knot, plus no nonesense tuition. This is a game changer for us oldies just getting into LRF fishing using fine braids and light Flourocarbon line. Many thanks.
I completely agree 👍
A million thanks ☺️
Same here, 100% agree👍
Holy crap this is way easier to manage than the other blood knots I’ve seen! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot God bless
I have never tied a more simple and gorgeous knot. I was so excited that it came out perfectly the first time I tied because of your instructions.
It shoots right through the guides so smoothly as well. Thank you!
Thanks buddy
i still don't understand why we need to go from braid to carbon
I agree gonna try this immediately as it just looks very tight/smooth & strong .
@@oilrigfishing you can't have braid right up to the hook as it's too visible in the water.
@@zacjohnson8404i do agree with that, but with Alabama rigs being an umbrella of metal wire makes me wonder if line visibility matters as much as i once thought🤔
Truly amazing and simple. Been looking for a such a simple braid to line knot for a long time. Watched the video twice, then did a trial run....perfect. Thanks so much.
Thanks a lot too.
100% my new favourite braid to mono knot ever! Using that next time I go!
thanks a lot buddy
Excellent video! That's how I tie line to my leader and your video should make it easier for others to do so as well.
Cool, thanks!
So simple and nice knot… thanks for the tutorial
Just starting into the fly rod thing - this is a life saver! Lot of tying knots in that fly gig.
I'm impressed. Also the video quality and pace of the tutorial was excellent.
thanks a lot

Thanks
Great video. I was looking for a better way to join braid to fluorocarbon for salmon and steelhead fishing and this works great.
Awesome knot… I have watched your video again and again until I felt comfortable that I understood the steps required. I’ve watched several videos using the same concept involved here, it’s very similar to the “Surgeon’s Knot” and others…where the idea is to distribute the stress on the line to the wraps and away from the hook eyelet, allowing the line that is wrapped to stretch before putting stress on the line at the eyelet, a very cool idea that works. Thanks for a nicely done video.
.
A million thanks 😊
This is awesome. I can’t imagine why anyone would connect braid to mono any other way. Thanks for sharing this knot with us.
You are so welcome!
Finally. All of my other knots have been bulky and difficult to tie in a timely manner. And a lot of times I accidentally do them wrong and when I pull them apart they slip out! This is my new knot thank you very much
A million thanks bud
This is my knot. I like finesse fishing. This knot is tiny.
I just used your video to tie my 10lb fluorocarbon to my 20lb braid and it seems like it’ll work great!
Great to hear!
I’ve been using a hard-to-tie-for me, crazy Alberto knot. Can’t wait to tie this!!! Thanks
Wonderful!
When you’re almost 80, like me with bad eyesight, you’ll Really appreciate this knot!!! 👍👍

Great Demonstration! Im always looking to get better at tieing and fishing in general. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful thanks a lot
I just recently started trying to use light braid on my spinning reels and havent had any thing good to say about other knots ive used to tie to my leader flourocarbon line. Most dodnt go through eyes of rod for crap and was hard to tie. Ive found myself not using my spinning reels much at all because of this and it being summertime in Alabama ive not been catching as many fish because im not finesse fishing any. Thank you so much for making this tutorial video. You have just changed my mind about braid to fluorocarbon.
your are most welcome Michael
Been doing this for a long time. Hook will break off before that knot ever does. Great knot.
Hands down the simplest and strongest knot we have seen so far. Only knot we use since we saw your video. Thank you 🙏
thanks a lot buddy 😊
The fg knot is far stronger
Thank you for this. When Im out on a moving river and need to retie a leader this is so easy to tie!. You are the man...man!
Glad to help thanks
This was the easiest and best example ever, thank you so much I've been struggling to follow along with other videos and yours was by far the best.
Great to hear Rico thanks a lot
Finally! Something simple for a beginner to do yet a strong kind of knot. I lost almost 4 meters of line just doing the FG knot and I'm glad I came a cross your video. You're a lifesaver. I'm your new subscriber from now on. Highly recommended for beginners. God bless you! ❤
This seems simple enough for me to tie it. It seems like an Albright knot but with a different way to connect the line. I can't wait to test it. It seems strong enough with me pulling it on. Thanks for this great Video.
Wonderful! thanks
This looks so clean and easy...been tying a 9 loop blood knot for years, it works great and it's easy but it's kind of bulky. I have got to try this next time I get out
yes please thanks buddy
Ive used the Double Grinner Knot for my Feederfishing for many years before coming across this one now. I need to admit quite honestly I never heard about the FG Knot before coming now across this video . And I need to say it works like a dream. I'm connecting ususally a 0.10 Feederbraid Line with a 0.33 Shockleader. And it really works alot faster and easier on the Bank when setting or resetting a Rod up than the Knots I used before. Also the Knot goes smoothly through the Guides of the Feedertips and is very strong and safe even when casting heavy Feeders out at long Distances. Thanks for sharing this mighty awesome Knot with us.
Thanks for sharing your experience I appreciate it a lot
This isn't the FG knot
I keep some cheap mono on my desk for practicing new knots. I tried this knot with it thinking "this will NEVER work mono to mono"... I was WRONG! It didn't slip even a micrometer! If it won't slip mono-to-mono, I won't slip with *anything* ! Thank you for sharing this, it'll save me mountains of time!
Thanks for sharing!
Brilliant! That’s a great and simple knot. Now to go use it.
thanks a lot
@@GeneFishingTV this is the alberto knot except you wrapped the looped end around instead
It only took me five try’s to figure it out but it’s my go to from now on with braid to fluorocarbon, thank you!
Thank you brother😊💖👍
I started using this knot in the spring and it works well for my braid to fluorocarbon leader connection.
However I fold the fluorocarbon and wrap the braid around (opposite of video) and it works much better since the floro likes to slip out the other way around.
Works great going through the guides
I’ve watched so many videos on how to tie my leader on an this one makes it so easy, thank you
You just saved me so much time trying to connect mono to braid. I used to tie a double uni. This is my new go to. Thank you so much!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Toney
Hey man just wanted to say a big thank you this is an amazing knot, I’m new to fishing and always hate all these confusing knots that I can’t get right, this knot is easy and quick it’s the only mono to braid Knott I use and has never failed me, thank you 👍
Thanks a lot buddy🥰

Thank you my friend
been using this knot for years for ice fishing, by far the best knot you will ever use
Thanks Steve
Thanks for the video!! I tried this knot for the first time yesterday while bass fishing tying 20lb braid to 15lb mono, not only is it easy to tie but it also goes through the rod eyes smoothly and held up all day with over a dozen fish caught 👍🏻👍🏻🎣
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with the knot Matty 👍👍👍
Good to know! I've been tying uni to uni. Looks great when people demo tying knots with paracord or 300 lb floro. Whole different story with 10lb braid and 6lb floro!!!! The uni/uni works great, but just about need a jewelers loop to see it! And tying it at the dinner table is hard enough. On a kayak in a slight breeze makes you want to drown yourself!
That solved a major headache of mine.
Thanks for the great video mate.👍🏻
Thanks a lot my friend😍
Great knot never fails
Solid video will have to try this out instead of an fg knot as would be a bank saver when in windy conditions thankyou
The technique is so smooth and well executed. Well done sir. Thanks for showing!
Thank you kindly!
This knot was created by Alberto Knie. It's called the Alberto knot.
@@werenotfriends6243
I appreciate the info. 👍😁
This is exactly the Braid to Leader knot I’ve been looking for. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
My days of tying a double uni knot are over.
@@ambulancemonkee
That is what I use. It is extremely easy to tie and goes through rod guides fairly smoothly. This knot looks great also but may be a bit wider than the uni because of the doubling of the line. I have only broke off, at the the double uni knot, a couple of times in my 45 years of fishing.
@@whoimia5208 how long should the leader be. Should it be where the knot almost reaches the spool or the rod tip?
Finally was able to tie this knot first try😅. I was trying to use this knot to tie 2-4lbs leader to 10lbs braid for trout fishing. Seemed impossible but with me switching to saltwater fishing for spring summer. I was able to tie this knot with 50lbs braid(main line) to a 25lbs mono leader! Feels strong and I hope it holds up this season!
Thank u for this straight forward, high quality video where we can actually see every little detail of both lines up close. I've seen so many videos of people talking, explaining from a distance and cannot see the lines clearly. Super frustrating 😂.
Tight lines y'all!
Thanks a lot buds😊
@@GeneFishingTV question, is this knot do able with light line?
Dude, I am practicing right now with 10 lb. brain and 8 lb. fluorocarbon. Doesn't seem to want to grab.
Are my lines too small?
Holy moly thank you for this video I thought I'd never be able to do it! Got it done first try. You are the man!
Thanks buddy😊
I've been fishing for 60 years. I use 4 knots: Mono, Palomar, Uni, and the Armando. This is even simpler than the Armando! I like simple and effective! Thanks!
"Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler." ~A. Einstein
Thanks Ross
I’ve been fishing for 60+ years myself and I love this knot, but, I’m surprised you’re not tying the improved clinch to your hooks🤷🏻♂️ it has never failed me.😊
Thanks for the no-nonsense instructions.
Oh wow. This seems faster than any other braid to leader knot I’ve used. Going to go try this now. Thank you!
Thanks Lance
Stunning! Thank you for sharing.
I gotta say tho. This knot looks legit. Been Tying fg and uni to uni for awhile now and this might be next
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.
Happy to hear that, innovations have a big room for improvement please share once you get the missing link and I'm happy to make a video of it. 😊
Already exists; UV bonding agent.
Not everything needs to be made easier. It's the reason kids these days don't know how to do anything
I believe the word you are looking for is, “glue”
Not sure a bonding agent will have a large enough surface area.
Nicely done, I now use this for all my inshore, lighter fluoro/braid connections. Thank you!
Thanks Reel
Agree, good for lighter inshore mono-braid. I’ll stick to FG for the offshore heavier stuff
Great nott thank you very much there's a lot of knots out there that take a long time to join two lines together and that's the last thing you want when a boat is rocking around. When all you want to do is fish thanks for that quick demonstration which will save me a lot of time.
You're very welcome James 😊
Thank you so much. Tying line to line has been so difficult. This made it a lot easier.
Thanks Yogi 👍😊
Update: Now that I know how to correctly pull the fluorocarbon through the created loop, I've been catching fish with no problem. Thanks for the time saving knot!
First Snook I hooked pulled this knot apart at the connection point. Back to the double Uni Knot for me.
please try my other video it will show more clearly what to pull when tightening the lines czcams.com/video/3A8ML50qt2M/video.html
@@GeneFishingTV I can see where I made my mistake in the close up. I will test out the knot strength this weekend! Thanks!!
I've been doing this knot for a year now, and have never had it fail - not even on gags and reds and big strong snappers.
Amazingly simple to tie and I'm curious as to knot strength? The only issue I have with this is if you plan on running it through your guides, it absolutely is "knot" a replacement for the FG. I tend to run long leaders to have the luxury of cutting back long before I have to retie but if the strength of this knot is fine and you don't have to worry about bringing it through your guides, there's virtually no reason "knot" to use this. Thank you!!!!
This is a slightly crude-er version of a knot called the SC knot. A true SC knot is a bit smoother with the braid making the coils on the outside of the knot. I have used both the SC and FG, and I do the same as you with long leaders so you can cut them back as you change baits. A proper SC is just as strong as the FG, but it is a pinch chunkier, so it will go through the guides better than say a uni-knot, but not as smooth as the FG. Trade off is its easier and faster to tie than the FG.
I do a version of that SC knot. Very strong. Especially good with light test line
@@claytonkr05 I do understand what you're saying but my next question, that nobody has answered, what is the knot strength? If it's not close than the fg than it's not even relevant. Full disclosure, doing my own tests it's 30 % less than the fg which is absolutely not acceptable. I also have not done this test with minimum variables so I could be completely off but I would love to confident in the SC like am I am with the FC. Regardless the true SC knot is here to stay and rightfully so.

@@billsikes4007 a true SC is supposed to be just as strong as the FG, but the knot shown here is not a true SC, this is a modified version of it.
@@claytonkr05 Same statement applies, the sc is noticeably thicker than the fg and is not a long line replacement.
Best knot I’ve tried. Simple and it works great
Great to hear! Thanks
Easiest and best knot that I found especially during colder weather for braid to mono.
Thanks a lot
That's the Yucatan knot. That's my favorite over, the FG for line the line connection.
Thank you so much I've been using the double uni but this knot saves so much time and is easy to remember
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this, I just tried it. Well my first try was a fail. I have osteoarthritis and issues with handling small stuff but this works great for me. No more swivels to connect lines
Doe that come with no feeling in finger tips? My hands continually go numb and I have very faint feeling in the tips of my fingers and they always seem to lock up and crack. It's pretty annoying when trying to tie knots I'm only 32 years old and all my friends laugh at how long it takes me to tie but they don't understand. I boxed for years and did mma and all kinds of other strenuous work on my hands so that might be why but yeah any way it sucks
@@ML-ks2lj now and then I get numbness, fingers lock in closed fist. Simple things like opening up a zip lock bag hurt or I just can't do it

I've been using the crazy Alberto knot but I'm switching to this one now! Thanks!
Happy to help!
New to fishing, caught my first pike today of 12 lbs, all I had was my mainline tied with a uni knot onto a spinner, I had no problem what so all. Caught plenty of perch and even had a bigger pike try take a perch I had caught as I was reeling to in , it still held up till the pike spat it
That's awesome buddy thanks for sharing and welcome to the fishermans world.
wow.. looks amazingly smooth that can run through the guides perfectly..
what is more amazingly that this can be done in a couple of minutes.. thanks for sharing..🙏🏽
Glad you like it! thanks master
Very easy knot and surprisingly super strong. I got tangled once and seemed like the knot is stronger than my metal lure hook. Line didn't snap but the hook did. Thanks for the video.
thanks buddy
Looks very smooth and much easier. I will definitly try it. Thanks
Thanks 😊
I think its definitely more beneficial to have the braid wrap around the mono or fluoro leader so that the braid can dig into the leader line - all of the knots that do that are super strong for that reason
Thanks for your input brother
that's what he was doing, right?
No, look at the end of the video. Alberto knot for the win. FG knot for the patient.
Yep I agree makes a lot of sense !
this weakens your leader line
Just figured out what I was doing wrong. As you complete the final step, pulling the mono tag end through the loop and tightening the knot, you have to make sure the braid loop doesn’t flip over the twists, to the braid end of the knot. As I found out after several attempts, that will result in instant failure.
Good knot and I will be using this moving forward. Thanks for sharing
that's great to hear Brian its a bit tricky only when tightening the knot only practice makes it perfect 😊
This was so much easier to understand and follow along with than BCFs video. Very precise, easy to see and no waffling on
Thanks Daniel

@@CauseImFlawless I third that request!
Cant believe people promote that garbage troublesome fg knot over this
@@mixedmartialnutrition1746FG isnt hard when u been doing it for awhile and is the strongest knot. Not sure how well this knot stacks up a comparison test would be nice
If you are going to double the mono, try the RP knot. smaller, faster to tie and 100% strong
why same as fg knot its a waste of time this 1 or surgeon is fastest
by far the easiest knot ive found for this. thanks. The others work fine too but this is just so easy.
Thanks Collin ☺️
This is lovely. One more improvement. I'm re-tying an outfit right now.
Yucatan knot...for small fish it ok but weak to hold big fight againts big fish and predator fish that make a surprise shocking whrn it take a lure or bait.
Fg knot is more strong for big fish and fishing situation.
Exactly.... Wouldn't recommend this knot for BIG GAME fish!
good info
That is an extremely beautiful knot my good sir. Can it be done the opposite way around? Since braids diameter is thinner than the mono. Just curious my friend. Either way it is an extremely thin and slick knot.
Yes you can tie it opposite way buddy
I ran the video at 0.5 speed 5 times before I had it. I’m just all thumbs tying knots especially stream or ocean side with wind and low light. Thanks for this as I’m able to use this.
Your welcome Kevn
Like a lot of folks I was FG on nothing at all. Now I'm dying to try this knot as summer months here get hot and it's florocarbon season starting pretty much this month. I dread this time of year actually coz normally I do use leaders at all untill this time of year as bass get more sluggish picky and they downwrite become pricks unless the presentation is absolutely perfect thus the need for the florocarbon leader. So you just got subscribed my friend and this video is in my save collection
the Yucatan knot, very easy to tie outdoors when fishing, my choice is to finish both sides with a couple of half hitches (maybe makes the knot a little bit more chunky but i'd like to think adds extra safety.
Great tip!
@Greg Kyle If you can't tie knots, tie lots!
@Greg Kyle it's a joke, a saying. Nothing to go for or against this knot. It's a lighthearted saying to joke with buddies in the ice house. Also, opposite of "fair weather" I'll fish in -40° and I've fished from a kayak on lake superior.
@Greg Kyle dang. It's a joke. Not a Weiner. Don't take it so hard
@Greg Kyle you sound fun to fish with
does it slide through the rod eyes without getting snagged? thanks for the video!
Yes it does slide but you can feel a little bumpy when you use heavy lures of jigs
you're a life saver dude me and my brother just started fishing and we really need this tutorial thank you
Thanks buddy 😊
Thank you for the simplicity , and the easy, perfect way to the attachments.
Best regards.
Thanks buddy
Dumb question, how come my leader keeps sliding free of the knot when I pull the main line? I am not sure what I am doing wrong
Make sure you insert the leader through the loop you created with the braid before making your wraps.
Appears rather simpler TO GET RIGHT than the FG knot. Today my FG's don't fail, BUT until i set up a non-portable apparatus that insures very even tensioning throughout the 'Chinese finger trap' portion, my FG'S were great - right to second they weren't great, typically after many trip's worth of repatedly passing through the guides. What i was sometimes happening was, if the ENTIRE braid wasn't utterly seated with a complete 'color change' taking place, eventually any 'slack' at the front end was becoming redistributed, lessening is holding power. i have tied FG's in the field, that have held up even, but i have trust issues after tossing no few sinking crankbaits for a country mile (unrecoverable).
i don't foresee those things ever happening with this easier-to-consistently construct alternative junction.
What the hell was that gobbelty gook?
What the hell did you say?
@@russellwhite7676 LMFAO.😆😆 Yeah he really complicated that description but what I think he was tryin to say is that this is easier than the FG knot and more reliable because if he would get one loose wrap on the FG then repeated shock through the eyelets would distribute the looseness throughout the FG knot and cause failure. I THINK!
try the pinky tension method for FG
Yucatan knot, the strongest
Great knot ,thanks for sharing
Thanks Wayne😊👍
Okay I got a story for you to help you remember.
The rabbit (the loop) runs around the tree (the single strand) 10 times where the tree falls on the rabbit and skewers him.
that strong and very very simple tie master... nice tutorial for to tie master gene... like that master 🖒👍
thanks a lot master
Or look up the Crazy Alberto knot...this is basically the same thing.
Going to have to try this / switch to this knot. I always tie the uni knot but it's a pain, more complex, and can sometimes not pull tight stright/uniform. Thx for the great tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Смачивать при затягивании нужно ?
what is the name of this node?
yucatan knot
Hello Gene, Love your knot tutorials. Very clear and nice music too! My question is what knot would you recommend for finesse bass fishing; like 6-8lb floro or mono to 10-15lb braid?
thanks
yucatan or the special albright would be plenty strong enough
yes you can use it but be careful when tying just copy what I did and it wont slip
I used to use the blood knot, but last time tying fresh leader onto my three braid rods I used this knot and so far so good.
Ok, after three outings this knot just unravelled on me. Open water, no snags.
Thanks! I have been using FG knot for years but was never quite happy with it. Trying this now instead!
Glad I could help!
Twists are in the mono and not the braid. The braid slides out without some half hitches. It’s quick but double uni or Alberto is still superior
Double uni isn't good for your guides and Alberto isn't a good knot snaps too easy just take the extra time and tie a fg and have no issues
I use this exact knot exclusively on braid to fluro leader, it's never once failed me even on big fatties.
@@zgckdpdydhdb9194 I switched from the double uni to the Albright/Alberto because the uni broke on me multiple times. I have only had the Albright fail on me because I tied it poorly. Other than that when my line breaks, it breaks below the knot. Do some research, the Albright is one of the strongest braid to leader knots out there.
@@jaxbeach09 it's not the Alberto if a 76% breaking strain of the original main line and a fg is 98% so your wrong
@@zgckdpdydhdb9194 It looks like you lack reading comprehension skills. I didn’t say the Albright/Alberto was the strongest. I said the Albright/Alberto is ONE of the strongest. I prefer the Alberto because it’s the strongest between Albright and Alberto. And yes, there’s a difference between the two. The FG is much stronger but is more difficult and time consuming. I can tie an Alberto in a third of the time it takes to tie an FG. I’ve jigged up Cobia off the bottom many times with an Alberto without issue.
I'm still going to use the fg knot. You literally can't get a narrower knot. If you watch the right video on how to tie it , it's a simple knot to tie. It's NEVER failed on me ,even when snagged on something. The knot at the hook or lure will break first . This is a nice looking knot though and a good video.
thanks buddy
I'm sorry to be THAT guy, but I'm done keeping my mouth shut when people claim the FG is the best knot WITHOUT any specifics. Yes, it is a fantastic knot when pairing a braid to a mono or fluorocarbon leader AS LONG AS the leader material is significantly thicker in diameter. If you tie the FG with equal size diameter braid and fluoro it WILL SLIP. A good combo would be 10lb fluoro to 10lb braid since 10lb braid is roughly the same diameter as 4lb fluoro. The knot functions by the braid gripping the leader, just as if you were gripping a rope with ur hand. Think about trying to climb up a gym class rope made out of parachute cord. Not happening, it would slip right through your fingers bc it's too small, not enough surface contact. You need a nice wide rope, about 2" in diameter to create the friction needed to sustain a powerful grip. Obviously that's a bit of exaggeration in terms of size relation, but the logic remains. FG knot is NOT a universal situation knot.
@@Nubenhoofer it's ok to be that uneducated guy , if it works for you, have at it. Those that want to use the BEST knot for braid to fluorocarbon, the fg is it .
Now kindly cry elsewhere, thank'ya 👌
