Always use an Alberto knot but have been trying out a GT Knot. Jury still out. Change is hard.

I use the alberto knot.. its really not that hard to tie. I just recently discovered the Berkley X5 braid, what really nice line. I saw Justin Lucas bragging on is and gave a it a try. Highly recommended.

Tie this knot in 20 seconds or less. It has never failed me in many years of use and was recommended by some Tarpon buddies in Florida.

I have been using the Lefty Kreh knot shown in the video for the last 2 years. Easy to tie. Very reliable. No need for super glue.

Thank you for posting that . I have never tried that knot and with my age related vision difficulties it looks really user friendly .

The Lefty Kreh knot is about all I can manage with old fingers, that & a Palomar is all I use.

people always want to argue about the knots to use I have used the FG for a bunch of trips with a 3ft leader so it always gets cast through the guides and never had a single issue has never broken or anthing like that. been using the FG for about 8 years never lost a fish because of a broken knot. 15lb to 10lb or 10lb to 8lb all work well with the FG knot.
