Silly string leader knot?

I generally always use an fg knot, when tying it make sure to keep the wraps close as you can to each other as possible. When finishing it off I do a rizzuto finish, trick is with using super light line such as 4lb you don't want to put much pressure on when you sinch the knot. Only a quick pull with enough strength to sinch them together is sufficient. If you have any other questions just chuck me a pm I am more than happy to help out!

Thanks for the sinching tip  @JamoDamo. I was definitely going way too hard. Guess I just need some good old fashioned practice to nail it. If I can’t, I’ll hit you up for some more advice 🙏

All good mate! When I tie the fg I usually sit down place the rod in my lap and prop it up. Put the line through the first runner and bring it back to my teeth with a bit of tension, wrap the leader around my fingers a couple times and make sure not to pull hard as 4lb leader will shred if u put too much friction on it. Watch Briggsy's FG knot video thats how I learnt how to do the FG, once you do it a lot its very easy to tie just remember to not put much pressure on the leader.

I have used the FG on everything for years .
