Here’s a great saying from John Collins, who invented the RP knot (he’s too modest to claim it under his own name) - “if you can’t tie a knot, tie it a lot”. Practice, practice, practice. And he’s talking about giant tuna, not little bass.

If you can’t tie a knot under Fishing conditions the knot is worthless. Fishing conditions include wind, cold, rain, poor light, boat motion etc.
FC is a good knot but everyone suggesting to burn the tag ends has never tried that under Fishing conditions were burning the main line or leader is catastrophic.

:D agreed! Fishing conditions is different than in your garage. I had several knots down until... I was out in the HEAVY winds and was too difficult with light leader/flouro.
