After trying to tie my braid to leader and failing because I could get line tight enough, i came across this way of tying FG knot. I found it super easy to tie and good demonstration. Similar to the guy tying it to the handle above that corokid mentioned.

I found this method to be real easy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4GCH6i5L2I The only thing is to keep the tension the braid has to be tight round your little finger and it rubs on your first finger too. It's OK as long as you don't want to tie lots of them at a time. I did three for practice and I wouldn't want to do many more, I suppose you could wear gloves if you wanted to tie them all day long.

Wink

Both the FG & PR knots are pricks to tie when in the heat of the battle. Invented a simple one a few weeks ago, seems really good (nicely put to the test on it's second outing yesterday). Will let you guys in on it after a bit more testing.]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:26:24 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87844&PID=1257435&title=attaching-a-leader#1257435 <![CDATA[Attaching a leader : Tipper wrote: corokid wrote:Then...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87844&PID=1256217&title=attaching-a-leader#1256217 Author: corokid

Classic... Blame it on the MRS mate, dont say you were struggling to tie a KNOT. haha. Seen some good faces in my time of people trying to do the PR knot. Tongues half out and one eye closed as if they are they looking down a site aimed at the next prey.

Hell you do it that much i sometimes even PR Knot my Inchiku / Softbait knot. Casts so well. But then when i cant be arsed the old Yaktan comes in handy]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:14:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87844&PID=1256189&title=attaching-a-leader#1256189 <![CDATA[Attaching a leader : =Tipper This one Dave??

Oh dear that sound track is too much, and his FG is far too long, reacon he's done that so you have to listen to it for longer
