FG knot needs a lot more wraps for smaller diamenter lines. For attaching 80-lb. braid to 100-lb. leader, you can get away with 20 wraps. For smaller diameter lines, you need a minimum of 30. For attaching the 30-lb. braid to 20-lb. mono I use almost 40 wraps and never an issue. It's very tough to beat the slim profile of this knot. It takes a little practice, but worth it. Look for the YouTube video that demonstrates holding the mainline in your teeth. Much much easier.
