What's the triangle method? I just keep the braid taught and wrap the mono over then under the braid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluntly speaking that sounds like a faff. My method is that you take the braid in your teeth, pull taut and simply wrap the mono under and over the braid. Honestly, watch this and you'll see what I mean. jonnyswamp and GPSguru 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use this method ............ probably because I was first taught to tie the FG in Oz (2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the best knot I should have mentioned the knot pullers as these really tighten everything down nice an neat. I've just reduced the Jigabite ones to £8.99/10.99(each) for the 2 sizes. Prices wont be updated until next week but message me if you are interested? https://jigabite.co.uk/productspds.aspx?sectionID=324&mv=11&sn=10 GPSguru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
