If anyone knows this knot it would help me and the op. Thanks GT knot is what you're referring to. Super easy and quick to tie but doesn't score well on knot strength tests. I use the FG knot. There are easier ways to tie it than most of the videos on YouTube. Takes me about 3 or 4 minutes and it never has failed. I tie on a good 10 foot leader and it lasts for a week or two. The knot can also be shortened up if you do like 5 wraps and then cinch it down, and repeat. It gets long because people do like 20 wraps and all of them don't cinch down when you tighten.

I use the uni to uni and as with any knot practice will net you faster and better knots. Catch and release. The dream - to catch one of every species of Freshwater fish in our great state!
