New way to tie FG knot (sebile)

Post by onefishtwofish »

For me anyways. I have seen a couple different ways to tie the FG knot. I mostly use the double uni because I tend to fish shorter leaders. But I like the FG knot and tend to tie when on shore, but if I break off or retie on the boat, for speed I usually use the double uni.

This way looks easier to tie in the wind and on the boat (and without my reader glasses!). I think I will practice this method a bit and see how I like it.

Does anyone tie it this way?

For on the water and usually off the water leader to line knot I use the double surgeon knot, very simple and very strong. Only downside is it is a bulky knot and will not usually go through the first eye and can't really be tied if there is something already tied to end of leader.

Maybe, but I thought that was the "old" way

The one tiger posted was the way I learned to tie it. This new one seems like it may be easier.
