Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
AG chain knot.
Courtland Babcock:
I am a fanatic about testing stuff. I tried the knot maybe 5 years ago when I first saw it. It was fairly strong comparatively but what I didn't like was after a full load cycle the knot would bend and stay bent. Sort of goofy.
As stated by others, there are just as good or better choices out there.

No Lucas, no weren't missing the next best thing......
A while ago...all the hype was that the Jigging Master AG Taiwan team.....was doing all there jigging promo's in NZ...and all round.....and that's the knot that was encouraged to jig with, and so on. I think some of the top water Japanese hopped on....and started tying this knot to there rigs......no advantage...maybe the knot has a small like a " spring in it, like a bunge cord... ???.
Uni...Improved Cinch.....is great :).
Regards
Leo
Alex Gomez:

It was here in NZ that I first saw the knot after Pony and the JM team passed through and I think a lot of us still use the AG chain knot for jigging , top water- I don't think the knots ever been popular over here . To me for jigging kingfish its still the knot for flurocarbon . That small bungy/spring effect helps for sure .
Brian Maccarone:
So the knot has "spring in it" even at the end of say two to three metres shock leader? ??? Anymore spring/stretch is going to effect hook set.
