Any tips for tying FG knots? Mine keeps unraveling.
I tried rizzuto finish but it still keeps unraveling and exposing that leader and doesnt go out the guides as smoothly as I want them to. Any tips on closing this knot or any video links you can recommend?

That clinch is nicely done. I would suggest looking at how you finish. The tag end should be fed through the back of the loop and pulled towards the clinch. I put a drop of super glue as a preventative measure

I watched all the tutorials and practiced. That’s it, just more practice. It’s a little tricky to learn, but once you nail it, it’s an easy knot to tie.

The knot looks solid. FG with that light of line is a pain. What are you fishing for that you think legitimately requires an FG knot? I would go uni-to-uni on that pound test all day long. Runs through the guides better, exponentially easier to tie, and plenty strong unless you’re chasing musky or something but you’d need heavier line for that anyways.

You need to leave a little tag end

If you’re half hitching correctly at the end, burn that tag end tip
