New Knots Suck

[duckman1911]

Am I the only one that gets frustrated when trying to learn a new knot? Playing with the FG knot right now. I've got it to a working knot but its just not very pretty. Really pisses me off when you think you finally have it figured out just to realize you don't.
My dreams are being crushed a few feet of string at a time.

yep, you cant do it while fishing, you have to tie about 30-40 knots at home until you get used to it and even then you forget sometimes.

All you need is a loop and a surgeon. They are both simple.

You use a palomar to join two lines?

Of all the people in this forum, I would never have thought that you'd have a hard time tying a knot!

Now that is freaking funny

Wanted the FG knot to join 100+lb mono to 80lb PP. Its a very slimline knot that will pass through the eyes smoothly.
That and I like knots. Never know when ya gona need em

Is this knot better than the Albright knot?

Use a Red Phillips knot to join braid and mono. Surgeons not to make a loop on your main line

Uni to Uni and Palomar are only knots I tie.

Man I really cant say justifiably. Havent been saltwater fishing long and im trying to learn new knots. Tied the FG last night and had my son and my daughtwrs bf test it. 90lb braid FG'd to 50lb mono. They were pulling like hell before the mono gave out. The knot held though. Both lines cut into the wooden dowls they had it wrapped around.
