You tube fg knot. Salt strong does the best tutorial. It's an awesome knot for tying the two together. And fairly easy to tie
^that
also - pay attention to him pulling HARD prior to trimming. There is sometimes a little slippage - until the braid makes little tiny grooves and really digs into the fluorocarbon's soft surface. Only AFTER the slippage and "chinese finger cuff" effect takes place should you trim the fluorocarbon.
A lot of people skip that step. Only to have the slippage take place when they are fishing. At that point it's too late for the lock to set.... there's no excess fluorocarbon to move into position until the dig takes place - allowing the knot to pop apart.
At this point most fisherman will "never use the
f-ing
great knot ever again cuz it sucks".
Don't be like these fishermen... set your FG knot at home, where it belongs.

p.s. I use fluorocarbon because I love nano... but its abrasion resistance is terrible.
IF I fished only places where walleyes are expected and there's few abrasion risks I would happily tie my jigs/cranks straight to nano using a palomar.

p.p.s.
You can tie 4-5 feet (or 10) of fluorocarbon leader with the FG because it's so small it fits into the tiniest guides.
I like hearing the subtle "tink" sound as it reaches the guide to let me know the fish is nearly nettable. Very good for night fishing.
