i tie it like in the vid below. just need some tension on the leader (sit on the spool). can tie it almost by feel atm. the half hitches take me longer than the actual friction knot so...

...i'm trying a rizzuto finish atm like in the vid below. faster to tie, but the transition from leader tag to braid is a bit rough when retrieving through small guides

Re: fg knot tool
Same way as ducky... although I'm gonna learn to tie with the hands. Seems quicker and More manageable from a yak
