Guest Guest123456789 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Hi Raiders, I saw this knot on ifish and I'm thinking of using it. Currently I use the FG knot or Uni to uni for light braid. The FG's are great but do take me a good 5 minutes to tie properly. What do people think of this knot? Is it strong enough? Can I use it when spinning? Will it run through the bail arm? Should I double the braid? I was just going to use the method shown on net knots. Thanks for your help.

bluefin Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It's not very SLIM stay with the FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks bluefin will do. Would have to have a big, lumpy spot on my line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zod Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I use the slim beauty knot on most of my lines, 50lb fluorocarbon has trouble going through the bail guide but anything under is fine with mine, it has never failed me. Converted a couple of friends as well. I do a lot of spinning and never had trouble with it going through the guides with the lighter lines 40lb under. Mine are very slim and beautiful.

tyrone07 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Never had a problem with the uni to uni knot as long as you do enough turns on the braided side it's fairly solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The FG has been tested and shown to be the thinnest and strongest braid to nylon knot. Just practice a bit more and you'll be able to tie it in less than 5 mins. Good luck, whatever you decide. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I agree about the FG knot, slimmest and strongest knot around. Sort of knot although technically easy to tie can be a pain when on the water, just got to practice and find the best method of tying it.

Scienceman Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 When I need a quick, slim knot with reasonable braid to fluoro strengh I use a 5 turn surgeon knot. Knot as good as the FG but quicker to tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 anyone use a nail knot? The reason I ask is that I found my knot tying tool, and that is what it does best. Seems to be pretty easy too. I haven't had a go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudly Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Agree with the Bobbin knot tool, but they are KNOT cheap... The shout one is around $300. im KNOT sure if there are any cheaper ones around? EDIT; just googled it, there are some much cheaper ones now! Anyone advise on the quality of these or do any site sponsors sell them? Edited December 4, 2015 by Spudly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
