Totally agree 100%! I've never tried the Fg but seems now I'm gonna have to.

This is completely unconventional and also a touch tricky to tie...but proven (in my uses fishing), to be stronger than a few knots stated that I've used already & have failed me. Only because these knots failed me I tried, so I tied a double clinch knot to another double clinch knot. Like I said, very tricky to tie, but get it lubed & tight and it's very strong. very strong.
