Guys from what i have read this FG knot seems to be causing a lot of discussion of late. I have attached the gadget, which I use, which makes the FG knot, in my opinion, one of the more easy knots to tie. See the attached picture. Simply string the bow with your braid, not too tight as it will tighten more as you proceed, tie the knot as shown in the many you tube videos around, Krissi's one is very easy to follow. You can hook the hanger around your big toe, fishing bag or any "old bag" you have around. The ends have been drilled and slotted to accommodate the braid and the prestik will hold the line ends in place. Wrap the braid around each end about six times and stick down with the prestik. Proceed as instructed in Krissi's video or any other video. Always pull your leader tag end up or down parallel to the braid when forming the loops around the leader line. Undo the tag end first, tie off the overhand knots and only then remove the mainline. You can wet the braid slightly in the areas that you know will be forming the knot. You should get a perfect, tightly wound, knot after one or two attempts.

Thanks ADMIN for sorting out the problem for me, that post is from 2015, I still today use the same method except I now hold the hook part of the hanger between my knees, makes tying the knot very easy.
