the Uni Knot is possibly the easiest knot to
tie, in fact so easy you don't have to look
at it to tie which is great if you've
forgotten your glasses. It has never failed
me personally in over 20 years of use. If it
has a downfall it is that it is too easy to
learn and therefore quite hard to master.
1 - Place the tag (loose end) through the
eye of the snap, or hook and form a loop as
shown. give yourself plenty of line to tie
the knot say 18".
2 - Simply pass the tag around the two
lines inside the loop as shown. For lines
up to 130lb pass it through 6 times, for
heavier lines 4 and even 3 times is enough.
The passes should run up the lines as shown.
3 - Moisten the ends and snug the knot by
pulling the tag end and the two ends at the
snap swivel end away from each other.
4 - Slide the knot down to snap swivel and
tighten by pulling on the main line. Finally
tighten by pulling on the tag end. You can
trim the tag end off as close to the knot as
you wish.
