Scott Maybury:
Wow, even I will be able to tie the Sebile knot, and I am a complete knot tying muppet

Has anyone used it in heavy applications like GT fishing or jigging? no problems?

Wouldn't call it a hybrid Sebile/FG knot Greg....if you are simply doing the method to form the wraps as per the video then finishing with half hiches as per FG - many Japanese form their wraps as per the video, which I have also found works a lot better for me than the hand twisting method.

It was again shown to me by several anglers in Japan.

The only thing different to the FG knot is the overhand knots they are forming...

Interesting video - thanks for sharing! Not sure about 100% knot strength  :P

David Noble:
Ditto what Luke said, it's an FG knot tied without the consistent pressure that the hand twisting method applies. Also isn't a multi turn overhand knot the same as a rizutto finish once it's finished?
Good vid, simplifies it well. I've tied a few FG's offshore on the kayak, prefer uni to uni now if I have to re rig.

Cheers

Henry Sung:
Great posting.

It's simple and you can tie it real quick.

Thank you for sharing.

Greg Burt:
No breakages here Scott, I have done some test runs with short 100lb leader and 80lb Braid over the scales to 20kg with no hassles.
The line in one hand plus off the Rod tip seems to give enough pressure, more than off my fingers alone anyway, and once it is tightened up (before the hitches) it bites in no worries  ;D.
Bit suss on the 100% claim too Luke  :-\.
