Hold the returning loop with something. Then pull the end of thread to tighten the nail knot

After trimming. Very neat, no excess braid. But unfortunately slips after many casts

David, this is what I did for the FG but in a different way, without the tube, can be seen on the first 2 pictures and the last picture is the knot at the end   after tightening.
In my case  ;) I find that this finish of the knot  is not strong in time, it becomes soft, some fishermen put a little glue to avoid this, I do not like at all, but of course everyone is doing well as he wishes   :)

I have perhaps made progress in English but it is more tiring than fishing a GT of 50k with a  popper Ah! Ah!

David, from your photo it looks like the FG knot wraps are not tightened?

Hi, Mark,

Yes it is not tightened for the purpose of taking photos :)
In real, I tightened every 3 wraps, better when the leader is a bit deformed by the braid, ensuring the wraps won't slip

I will be in Bali 16-21 next week, any seat available (sharing cost) to Abah?
