Highly recommended is the FG knot. Never had one fail on me.


My preferred method as per the vid.

@FishStyx, very cool method that! Way easier than wrapping the braid! going to give that method a bash!

@Garrick, I would normally join a leader at home using a PR knot and if I do happen to loose the leader while out fishing, would tie an FG knot as it is quicker and easier to do while out there!

FG is stronger and my preferred method, but when you are in a hurry with a bit of viskoors, the Bob Sands is very useful and very strong.

Learn both.
