Knot Matrix

Line-to-Leader Knot Tying Matrix

Master high-strength braid-to-fluorocarbon connections that pass through rod guide inserts smoothly.

The FG Knot (high line-strength retention)

The FG Knot is the slimmest connection knot available. It weaves braid directly around fluorocarbon without doubling the leader back, allowing it to pass cleanly through small rod guides. Tied well, it retains most of the line’s rated strength — exact figures vary with line, diameter and tier, so test your own.
