Run the
line through the hook eye, allowing 6 or 8 inches(15-20 centimetres)
of line to form the knot. Form a loop with the tag line end
as shown right.
Use
5 turns if your line is under 37kg (80lb). 3 - 4 turns would be sufficient when using
heavier line.
Lubricate
with saliva and pull tight.
This is
a very versatile knot. A small loop can be left when fishing with
a swimming plug to allow the lure greater action, two Uni knots
can be used to join line, or the Uni knot can be formed around
the hook shank to quickly snell a hook. If you don't have time to learn any other
knot, learn this one.
Always
remember to test all knots before fishing
