GT KNOT vs. FG KNOT: The TRUTH About The Strongest Fishing Knot

I've never seen another knot with as much hype as the GT knot.

Every other day I'm getting an email telling me that it's the strongest knot out there and I need to try it out.

But is it really the strongest rated knot?

Is it actually stronger than the FG knot for braid to mono or fluorocarbon?

I decided to find out the truth for myself and test these two knots against each other using my knot testing machine.

If you're a fan of the GT knot, the results from this experiment will shock you!

But the most interesting finding is how many different knots are listed as "GT Knot" in youtube so there seems to be a lot of confusion.

The GT knot started getting notoriety after winning an IFGA knot contest. But the GT knot shown in that study is totally different than the more recent "GT Knot" videos.

For example, the following 3 videos below are now the most popular tutorials that come up when searching for the GT Knot:

- TIE THE STRONGEST RATED BRAID TO MONO FISHING KNOT! (It’s not the FG KNOT)
- GT knot | strongest rated BRAID to LEADER line
- GT Knot Strongest Rated for Braid to Mono Non Slip Fishing Knot (Not changeFG Knot)

But none of them show the same knot that's shown in the IFGA knot results... even when some of them reference the very knot contest.

Since we keep getting the new version sent to us, we tested the most popular version of the GT knot which is essentially a uni knot and a figure eight knot and don't distribute the load equally like the FG knot does.

See the final results of this experiment in this video and be sure to share this with people you know who love the GT knot!
