hi guys Matt Collins here from
Beausoleil what I'd like to show you how
to do today is how to tie the five turn
double grenier the five turn gorilla is
a very important not in carp fishing and
it was originally developed by Richard
Walker I use it for connecting braid to
swivels Brighton link loops etc and it's
also very good for coated materials as
well I used to use it as the main not
for connecting mainline to swivels
but I subsequently found out that the
Palomar knot is a better and more
reliable way to make this connection
I'll be covering this in another video
the five turn gorilla is a very strong
knot and it's relatively easy to tie it
certainly won't slip and it's never let
me down so let's have a look at how to
tie that now so to start take the braid
pass it through the swivel
and then come back around pass it
through the swivel the same direction so
we've gone through the through the eye
of the swivel twice pull some material
off come back towards the swivel hold
the three strands there and then wrap
one two three four five times gently
tease the knockdown until that point
there and then very gently pull slide
the knot down towards the swivel stop
there pull again on the tag end and at
this point we need to wet it
once we've worked the knot gently pull
it down like that
then it's time to tighten it take a hog
puller hook this world onto the hook
puller just get a little a little bit of
a tweak up like that then we need to
tighten that properly so to tighten the
knot fully take something like a file
handle and wrap one two three times
around the file handle and on the puller
holding the braid against the fire and
hand file handle tighten that wrap down
and really give it a very good pull
indeed you want to take all the slip out
of that knot that's great now we have to
do is cut the tag end and don't cut this
too short leave it about ten mil long
now what we need to do is protect the
end of the braid from fraying by
blobbing it with a lighter using the
rest of your fingers protect the
hooklink from accidentally getting
cinched and somewhere out the wind spark
up the lighter and just blob it like
that that's fine you're left with about
three four mil short there and that's
that's perfect so there we go that's
what the five turn greenish should look
like when we're finished
very neat fully tightened and won't go
anywhere so there we go
that's how to tie the five turn Grinner
I hope that makes sense all the best
with the efficient Cheers
