SC Knot

Had never heard of it before last night, but when watching Youtube came across MooMoo's SC knot video:



It sure seems worth trying!  Found some other videos on it, with some slight variation on the tying as well.  Haven't seen it posted, so thought I would drop a link and see if anyone else is using it over the FG/Alberto/UNI-UNI favorites.

I'm going to give it a try. I use Alberto, but don't like how large it is. FG is not reliable for me. Maybe SC knot will be my Goldilocks knot.

Me too, I favor Alberto when off the water and use uni-uni when otw.  This looks like it wouldn't be hard, going to try it out tonight as well.

I tried this only once after seeing it and couldnt make it stick, so I just need more practice on it, looks really neat tho.

Seems that there are some variations on the ways to do it when looking at other videos.  I wanted to give a shout to Moo, but check out some other videos too. 

I think most of the San Diego BFT boats run Alberto. That’s what I was taught and if it’s good enough for those fish, it’s good enough for me. Thanks for the video though ABD the discussion. Kind of a knot geek!

Big Alberto fan, so i'm with ya.  But also with ya on being a knot geek.  Knots are tools and are fun to learn to me as well    Some are way too hard or just don't jive with me.  The SC looks promising, but will see if I actually put it to use during the great season i'm having 

I learned the FG and the SD jam knot on a tuna boat and love them now lol, but the Uni is just so easy and hasnt failed me so on the water if I lose my leader, its just a double uni for me now, maybe a rizuto finish on the ends to help it through the guides.

Recently I was camping and a buddy was having trouble tying up his hammock, he was like "If only I was a knot guy". Me ears perked up and I proudly proclaimed that I was a knot guy LOL. It was my time to shine!

I totally agree!  I cannot tie the Alberto easily on the water, so my otw go to is the uni-uni. But at home sitting with good lighting and wearing my glasses, I prefer the Alberto most of the time.

I tried a few times, but still having trouble tying this knot.  It looks simple enough, but when I try to do the first cinch it never comes out like the video tutorials.  Will keep trying, but basically I still love the Alberto knot for it's ease of tying.

Get a PR bobbin tool. Everything else is a mute point.

Been using the SC knot for a year now with no issue at all. Thanks Moo!

I was able to finally tie it correctly last night (I think..) and I couldn't break it with my usual strength pull test.  Still not a lot of confidence in it, but it sure looks like it will cast well!  Not giving up!  I guess since I never learned the FG knot that it was a little harder for me to learn.  But thanks MooMoo as well for inspiring me to try it!

From my experience with knots, it takes some practice to dial it down. I go back and forth with the SC knot and FG knot. I think it has a lot to do with personal preference and confidence. When I first tried this knot, it felt like the learning curve was easier than the FG knot and I liked the smaller diameter than alberto, albright and uni-uni that I’ve used before.
