FG knot failure??
Just got of a 16 day trip in which I had three failures on my fg knots. Line pulled out of connection after moderate pull once and 24# drag twice on 100# fluoro tied to 100 lb spectra. Have tide that knot several dozens time in garage and never...

Was looking for issues with this knot and found this. Seems the failure happens on the very first wrap. If that first wrap does not dig in and hold it will transfer to loosen the other wraps. Super important to get a color change at that one point during cinching.
In this link are some good videos and one has how that first wrap is important, especially when casting through guides. See the video FG knot flaws...
