yellow door 1 1,786 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yeah there are very few circumstances where I would tie such a knot. Its a bit bulky for my liking But when I used to chase trout in the early evening - tying leader knots, that took a long time, was dangerous because of the mozzies - those little bastards always know when you have both hands full and cant swat them away I used to set my self a 5 bights, then pack up rule - but tying an fg would have meant I couldnt defend myself - quick knots like 3 turn surgeons and double uni's were the go under those circumstances. (But they were also the reason my leader knots would break) Since discovering the fg - my leader knots break so rarely I dont even consider that they will - but if one did, in a mozzie infested area - having a quick leader knot like this would have come in handy Kelvin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackmac 307 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 It used to be called a surgeon knot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
