FG Knot Help!

I just got done playing and yes when I pulled the braid to tight that's what happen. And for whatever reason it's easier for me to go under the braid then over the top and pull straight.

Yes see what happens! Because braid has no stretch if you have it really tight the wraps will not form correctly. But from my understanding the braid cannot be too loose either. I've been trying to do it with the braid still on the spool not the reel with heavy pressure on the spool so it won't move and tying off the tag end of the braid to my fishing backpack so there's no give. How are you guys getting the right amount of give in the braid? I tried putting the tag end in my mouth but I couldn't get the hang of it.

The thing I can't get over is being able to cast the knot even in a baitcaster without issue. Seems it would catch eventually in microguides, but it doesn't!

Might not be perfect but I pulled on it as hard as I could and it would not break! I put the braid on the rod & reel and held the tag end in my mouth. Even though the rod was held in place the braid had proper give because of the flex in the tip of the rod.

Good stuff, and I leaned a new knot! I don't know if I will ever use it but hey knowing is half the battle.

Good deal flybuster! It really is the best knot for tying on a leader it won't ever come undone if done correctly.
