Sturdy, helpful, compact, easy to learn and must have!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2023

Like a lot of others in here, I thought the price was a little steep, but after receiving it and working with it, it really does help a ton with tying an FG Knot!!

One thing to remember when purchasing this, it’s an “Assist” tool, not an FG Knot tying tool.

Use this tool to assist in tying a knot that basically needs 3 hands to tie, it does help a lot and on the 4th attempt I was finally getting used to the tool and realized just how much faster I am tying an FG knot, which is important when out fishing!!

Spend less time tying knots and more time fishing!!

Awesome tool to simplify FG knot

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

Awesome tool but horrible directions. Instructions are actually in Japanese and absolutely zero help. Had to search through YouTube videos to finally find someone that can speak English and walk me through how to tie this knot. After a couple of tries it is my new favorite fishing knot.

Helps with the knot but at a cost.

I probably paid way too much for this but basically it does what I wanted it to do so can't complain. Have to use it a few times because there is still a process too make everything come out perfectly but overall a great little gadget. Remember though, they don't do it for you.

NO English use instructions, all in Asian languages. Found YouTube videos on how to use. Well made, durable works as advertised saves alot of time and fumbling around trying to keep the lines tight. can do an FG knot in a minute or less.

So worth it!!!

I thought ~$40 for a knot tying helper was pretty steep. And, don't get me wrong, $40 for a tool like this is significant, but holy cow has it been worth it to me! This tool is so incredibly helpful for tying consistent and strong FG knots, and is quite nearly a necessity when tying FGs on light/slick lines - not to mention the fact that it saves your fingers from the stress of manually tensioning your lines. While I admit that this tool doesn't help me tie FGs any quicker than before, the knots I can tie with the tool are far more superior in strength, size, and uniformity than without the tool. A worthwhile investment, I believe. I permanent addition to my tackle.

works great, specially makes it easier on lighter/finer braids

Makes tying fg knots easier, after the third time I used it I became more efficient with the tool. Really helps with finer braids like 20# ETC.

The best tool for the best braid to fluoro knot

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2016

Color: carbon blackVerified Purchase

I've found nothing as good as the FG knot for braid to fluoro connections, and nothing that comes close to the Daiichi Seiko tool for tying it. I tie FG knots much quicker and more reliably with this tool, using 30 to 40 pound braid and 12 - 20 pound fluorocarbon leaders.

FYI: I needed to first understand the FG knot, and after that how to use the tool to tie the knot. I climbed my learning curve by watching you tube videos. Once I understood both the knot and the tool, it took me a two or three practice tries before I could use the tool to reliably tie strong FG knots. (I tested the knots at home with weights.)

Finally, I don't like the high price or long shipping times, and I would buy a cheaper, more readily available alternative if I could find one. But I haven't found one yet, so for now it's the Daiichi Seiko tool for me.

Nice tool but......

Interesting tool but wish the instructions were in English instead of Japanese. There are good pictures but would like to read along with the pics. Takes a few tries to get the hang of it.

Learning curve to using this. YouTube is your friend here.

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020

There are videos on Youtube that will help you learn how to use this. Instructions included are in Japanese only, so of no use unless you happen to read Japanese. I, myself, do not. The videos are also in Japanese, but visual learning is universal, so they are still helpful.
There is a learning curve with this. I suggest grabbing some line and watching the videos while you practice tying an FG knot with the device. It gets easier, the more you do it. You might want to write up an index card with instructions in your own words and slip it in your tacklebox, just in case.

Makes Tying a FG knot a breeze

For a beginner this was a game changer. Ensures that all areas of the FG knot are tight.

If you are having issues learning this knot with light line, try this tool and you'll have your knot tied in 5mins or less.
