1) 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.
2) Use
5 turns if your line is under 37kg (80lb). 3
- 4 turns would be sufficient when using heavier line.
3) 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.
