The FG knot or Fine Grip knot<\/em> is one of the most used knots for large predator fishing, whether at sea in exo or in fresh water for catfish or pike. Although complex to achieve, let's see why the FG knot has become one of the best connection knots for connecting the braid to a fluorocarbon leader.<\/em> or nylon.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t

    Advantages of the FG knot <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    According to us, the FG knot has two big advantages: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    - It's tough as nails thanks to the mechanical strength of the braid and fluorocarbon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    - It is very smooth and therefore offers less loss of strength than a conventional knot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a result, the FG knot is now considered the most effective knot for exotic fishing. It has gradually spread to our territory for lure fishing for catfish or pike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Its strength and ability to pass through the rod guides with little friction mean it can tackle all types of predatory fish, while allowing the use of long fluorocarbon or nylon leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Disadvantages of the FG knot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Although strong and smooth, the FG knot is both long and complex to knot. We therefore advise you to tie this knot at home before any fishing session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the most important aspects of the FG knot is to maintain the tension of the braid and fluorocarbon or nylon during the various stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
