This video will teach you one method on how to tie maybe the best (and certainly one of the strongest) line-to-leader fishing knots, the FG Knot! This knot can be used any time you need a surefire way to connect two lines together, and this video is packed with step-by-step instructions complete with details and tips. Once you learn the steps in this video, you should be able to tie this knot in less than one minute with just a little practice! This is one of the most widely used fishing knots which is easy/fast to tie and can be used to catch anything from trout, perch, largemouth or smallmouth bass, pike, muskie, salmon, red snapper, tuna, trigger fish, grouper, mackerel... basically anything you catch with a hook can be caught using this knot!

Quick disclaimer: This is but one of many methods to successfully tie this knot, and it happens to be the best one I have found! I hope it works equally well for you, but if it doesn't, or if you have found something else that works better, I encourage you to stick to what works for you! I would always recommend practicing the knots and testing their strength yourself to ensure you are comfortable with how they work, and to avoid flinging lures into the ocean on a failed knot (ask me how I know!). Knots take practice, so make sure you're comfortable with whatever you're tying prior to trusting it with your gear! If you have any questions about the knot, please post them below and I will do my best to answer them. I hope this is helpful, and tight lines!
