How to tie an FG knot

The thinnest, strongest leader knot ever tested — passes through rod micro-guides with zero friction.

Step 1 of 4
  1. Keep tension on your braided mainline and hold the fluorocarbon leader perpendicular.
  2. Weave the braid back and forth across the leader 18 to 22 times, creating alternating cross wraps.
  3. Lock the wraps in place with a half hitch around both lines, pulling hard until the braid darkens and bites into the fluoro.
  4. Finish with 4 alternating half hitches over the braid mainline and trim both tags flush.
