I ordered this to net the algae in a large pond in our backyard. kzitem.infoUgkxphFK7ETiDP5G4IGsNcg7vbASDp_YfDpI The net is very sturdy and easy to maneuver in the water. The angled edges make it easier to get into the smaller spaces among the rocks. I didn't realize that the front of the net doesn't actually have a frame to it, just the sides do, but it seems to work just fine. The handle extends to various sizes, which is a great feature when I'm in areas that are tight with shrubs at the edges of the pond. I can collapse the handle so it doesn't get stuck in the bushes.

I have solely used the FG knot now for about 5 years & swear by it! If I ever get a break it is the braid failing before knot so you know the knot is 100% the best thing ever. I use a Daiichi 2.0 knot assist for tying mine which for me is way better that any manual method I had used previously. It is said by a few that the PR is a stronger knot, maybe Paul @ifishtv needs to try that one next?? But still Im not changing, if the knot is stronger than the line in a FG then no need to try anything else imo 😉

The other thing to consider is how knots survive after 100 casts. The fg has excellent survivability if finished properly. I quite often have mine lasting 2 or 3 sessions before the leader is too short from swapping lures all the time. Another thing is it doesn’t get caught up on runners and casts smoothly.

A great test and lots of fun! I did a load of knot tests for Sea Angler magazine using a Berkley line tester, this was some years ago and to my knowledge the FG had not been invented at that time. I tied 5 versions of each knot and averaged the breaking strain, the back to back uni was not that great but could be improved by 50 % using a Bimini to form a double in the braid to attach to the mono. I still use this today fishing out of Mooloolaba and can't remember having it fail. One observation from the tests was as soon as any movement could be detected in the knot it would fail almost immediately, so by wetting and snugging knots up really well they will out perform loose knots.

Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line kzitem.infoUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.

The fg knot isn't too bad, it's about the practice. Two main points to help anyone out there, is make sure that once your wraps are done I put in 1 half hitch to secure the wraps then pull on both ends to get the knot to bite into the mono, that's very important. The second most important is finishing the knot well with a rizuto finish. I find half hitches work well, but the rizuto finish is superior.

@@Spyros_Mazarakis I see some people like to burn the end of the leader, or mushrooming it, but I find it completely pointless. If you bed the knot down like I described in my first comment then the knot will only lock down harder with force trying to pull it apart. Also, if you finish with a rizuto then there is no feasible way to put down more half hitches, as the tag for the braid is in the middle of the knot and not at the end. With the length of the leader tag, some have suggested cutting right up at the knot. I don't do this, instead I leave about 1mm of leader tag to give the knot a margin of error if it should stretch under load. The strength of the knot is in the first 8 or so wraps, the finishing technique (half hitches or rizuto) are only to stop the wraps coming undone. If you finishing technique fails, then no amount of mushrooming the leader tag will help you.

@@turbostyler I always melt the leader end in my FGs if I have time, not because it really makes it stronger, but because the sharp edges of a cut tag end can both nick the braid mainline over time AND catch on your guides going back in the rod for another cast or drop. Both these things can weaken your connection in different ways. Rounding the end of the leader prevents both of those from happening and makes it much less likely to fail over time.

As far as I'm aware when fishing line says 45ib that means 45lb of tugging or pulling force not weight, like kinetic energy, a big fish jerking and shaking its head around is what breaks the line not the weight of the fish itself, whenever you have to bust off a snag it always breaks at a knot ( the weakest point in the rig ) , having the braid wrapped around around that hook is a poor control method I think because it's being stressed a tearing on itself if that makes sense Have a look at a rigging booklet and it shows how different rigging methods for cranes effect how much the sling can safely hold, I'd say the same goes for fishing line, Me and my mate have hook unstoppable fish on 20lb line in 20 metres of water it only broke when the fish reefed us or had a poorly tied knot

Thanks for the vid. Can you let us know what braid you used? Ive never seen braid break so far under its rated strength before.

The braid didn't snap, the knot did. Knots have a lower breaking point that the line itself

Craid D. The braid still broke and where it broke wasnt my point. Its common knowledge that the knot is the weakest point of an undamaged line. The point is that I haven't seen braid break consistently at 50% its rated strength before. Most of the braids I've tested fail (yes at the knot) under load thats right on or higher than the rated strength stated on the packet. To get more to the point, the reason why I asked what braid it was is so that i know what to steer clear of the next time i'm looking to try another braid. I'd be a bit disappointed spooling up 45lb braid only to find i couldn't stress it past 22lb to 32lbs of pressure.

The triple surgeon and uni to uni are probably the easiest to learn. But as u see in the video, the uni to uni is easy to fail, and the surgeon doesn't enter the rod guides smoothly. The FG know between the once shown here will beat the rest by a lot. But I still have a suggestion. The SC knot: For me the braid breaks before the knot every time, easier to tie than FG, and doesn't look like a monster either.

Doing that test again, on several lines would be great but, grab your sleeper attach the scales at one of the sleeper and a boat winch at the other. Tie the line between them and you can leave that setup for further tests.

Agreed although I don’t fish braid and tie a modified Albright special. These new age fancy knots are a waste of time and all the records have been caught on traditional knots.

@@philippiansfourfour1081 Not a waste at all if you use braid to leader and want a slim, strong knot that runs nicely thru guides. Funny how you dismiss something you haven't even tried... or did try and did'nt get it right?

@@andersriksson100 *waste. No need to be triggered. I don’t use braid, the type of fishing I do braid would be a detriment. Let’s see you ‘get it right’ trying to tie your pretentious, unnecessary knot in pitch darkness with no goofy headlamp, with sweaty hands, mosquitoes eating you alive. No need for me to try something I’ve fished for over 30 years and done more than fine without. What are you catching bud?

If I'm doing an fg im usually doing it at home for a particularly long leader. I've actually had an fg knot slip while fighting a bog fish, then catch its self.
