re: Knot for braid to mono

Before I head out all my poles are rigged FG knot for braid to mono. After a few lost lures or bad tangles I just run double uni super fast and I can tie it blind folded in the rain with cold hands lol by the end of the day all my poles will be double uni ????

I predominantly fish with 10 lb braid tied to 20 lb mono with an albright because I haven't had much luck with an fg on anything less than 30 lb leader

I tend to run 10lb braid to 15lb floro topshot or 15lb braid to 15 or 20lb floro topshot.
If the fish get a bit toothy I am able to still get 30lb floro successfully on the 10-20lb braid np with the FG knot but still old habits I go back to double uni if it needs to be done on the water

Saltstrong has a good video for tying the FG using the "finger method". Pretty easy but you will need a rod holder.

Double uni for tuna,wahoo, mahi fluoro(live bait/chunking) on all my 50s with 80 Braid to 80 mono top shot. Never had a failure.
