oldgeezer Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 A four turn grinner is used for tying 2 lines of different sizes together. The proper knot for your application is the 5 turn grinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud1 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I find the palomar knot best for braid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny999 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm using the FG knot An FG knot please enlighten us...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexDJ Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 here are 2 videos on how to tie the FG knot. One's by hand and the other with the assistance of a knotter aka FG Knotter. The FG knot is one of the strongest and smoothest knot (when moving through the guides during casting). Personally, I have been using the FG knot for the longest time and it works for me but I'm not implying in anyway that it is the best. Whatever knot one chooses, as long as it lands that huge bugger (and it doesn't slip and/or snap)..... stick with it! (Oops, it should read EZ instead of EX..)
