Mar 23, 2022 · A few things about this knot. This is not a true GT knot, it is a simplified version of the GT. The true GT is a fairly complex knot used in the salt. It is my understanding that the knot tested was the true GT, not this one.

Jun 19, 2020 · As a point of information the knot diagram shown in Sacto John's post 3 posts above "how to tie" pictures is almost identical to the Bob Sands Knot except that the BS knot uses a single line instead of the double line by a Bimini Twist and it uses a uni knot instead of the figure 8 knot for the stop knot. Testing has shown the GT Knot , as ...

Jun 27, 2020 · After seeing guys on here talking about the GT knot I decided to give it a shot. I never had any problems with the FG, but the GT is significantly faster/easier to tie and tested out stronger. 15lb Suffix 832 to 14lb Sunline Sniper FC using a weightless Stick-O T-rigged on a 4/0 Owner EWG hook. Landed 10 fish with a 3 and 4.1 being the biggest.

Apr 27, 2021 · The GT Knot? I f you want to bypass the preliminaries go to time frame 2:25. Many anglers have trust in their memorized knots. Most like me use the FG. If you take the time to read how the knots were tested you might want to try this knot. All us anglers desire a knot that doesn't snap at the knot and is easy to tie. This may be the knot for you.

Jun 19, 2020 · Hey guys, I found this online.. Has anyone used this yet ? It is super easy to tie, needs no special tools and can be easily tied on deck.. Looking for feedback, Jeff

Feb 23, 2020 · FG really isn't that hard to learn if you're motivated. I use it for nearly everything. The only exception is when fishing light. 0.4PE braid to a 3 or 4lb leader gets a GT knot (the figure eight leader with a uni knot version) as the light leader tag end at 90 degrees to the knot doesn't have much effect going through the guides.

May 19, 2023 · Dear forum members, I have heard recommendation to use Surgeon knot for monofilament top shot to fluorocarbon leader connection. Steve Carson of Penn reel recommends 5-turn surgeon knot for lines less than 20 lbs and 4-turn for lines greater than...

Mar 31, 2022 · Be sure on any knot you use to set the knot very tightly , VERY tightly, while it's wet. The Lefty Kreh knot is easy to tie, especially with shorter leaders (the whole leader has to pass through the loop formed by the finger, and that can be a bit tedious for leaders like the 20 footer mentioned above. ) It's also called by some the Seguar knot.

May 27, 2022 · I'm looking for a new knot because I have been hooking really large tarpon lately and my uni to unis are not holding. I have a Penn squall 400 low profile with 30lb braid. I have been looking at a new knot called "GT knot". Will it work for 30lb braid to 50lb mono? Also, will I have to tie the bimini to GT or just braid to mono GT. Thank you so ...

Jul 6, 2021 · I've never seen these knots tested against each other, but I seriously doubt the GT Knot is all that much stronger than a Uni Knot. I've straightened jig hooks with the Uni Knot. I've tried the Alberto a couple times and the FG Knot once. None broke. The last time I connected backing to main line I use a 5-wrap Blood Knot.
