Knots to ya
#8
The thing I don't like about the FG is that it can be very hard to tie while on the water, but mostly because it depends on the "Chinese handcuff" principle to hold the leader. The leader just sticks through the braid wraps and is held there ONLY by friction. The Alberto, the Albright, and the Red Phillips knots all use positive stops in the leader.

All of these knots can be made almost slip-proof with a drop of superglue.
