Yip PR for Jigging, FG for Casting.  Listen to Ben mate as he catches more Kingis than most do a year on Topwater.

Nah not really. Listen to Ben as in the FG knot is the shizzle. The only reason I say PR for jigging is I have more time to tie them and if I get busted off then it's straight to FG anyway(plus I have a bobbin and might as well use it). Have done many tests on the FG and it's solid even after only doing the two locking half hitches it aint going nowhere, and just keeps biting. Any half hitches after that are reassurance I reckon but you have to keep it tight and neat otherwise they(half hitches) will unravel. Have been tying FG's for customers etc for a couple years now and not one issue. The fastest and best casting knot for sure!!

PR knot all the way, runs through the guides pretty well but I run short leaders. I hate tying knots in a hot bite therefore spare reel and 2 spare spools all ready to go!

If using a carpenter lure=uni straight from  leader straight to lure
others= uni to NT size 1 or 2 swivel(or similar/ball bearing) and split ring owner 8/9/10/11(depend on lure size)...split ring to lure.......need split ring pliers.

3-4 turn uni or clinch BUT go through lure twice with leader and make sure leader sits flat before tying uni

Would the ag chain knot be of use for top water? I have trouble tying decent uni/clinch knots in leader weights over 80lb.

Definately not ag chain knot. way to big. use supple leader as it is heaps easier to tie knots in as well.

make sure you test which connection you use from leader to stickbait, different connections change the lures performance dramaticaly practice at the wharf first if you can get carpenter stickbaits they are the bizz go see yeehaa boys got mean selection other good brands too they will tell you how to rig them correctly makes all the difference

FG for soft supple leader = casting
PR for heavy fluorocarbon leader = Jigging

Knots applicable to the line
