Are you asking or did you have a knot to present? the title of the post made it look as if you had a knot to show us.

I think the reference is to the Seaguar Knot. It was mentioned on one of the TV shows this week. Easy to tie but I have never tried it. Google Seaguar Knot and you will find a how to. I have always used the Uni-Uni for this. Tom

Sorry the ? wasn't clear/ I needed to know how to tie the knot. Googling "cigar knot" was a waste of time unless you wanted to know all about cigar stuff. The fishing knots sites didnt have this one. I have one lead to follow, thanks.

Tom you are right on!! I found it on the Seaguar site along with some other knots. I will try the Uni also and see what works the best. I fish super clear water most of the time and want to use the long floro leaders to connect lures. I use mono and braid for my main lines. Thanks a lot for your answer. Good fishing and keep your drag tight.

Bob:
The only downside I see to the Seaguar Knot is the fact that you have to pass the entire length of the leader through the knot. With a long leader (when trolling I frequently use leaders of 50 or more feet) this can be a problem. The Uni-Uni and the variations of the Albright don't have this drawback. I use the Uni because I find it easier to tie
consistently
well especially in less than ideal conditions. Tom
