This video will teach you how to tie maybe the strongest fishing knot, the Uni Knot! This knot can be used any time you need a fast and strong knot, and this video will show you the tricks to tie it quickly and effectively. We will also go over one of the coolest aspects of this knot, which is once you learn it you’re already halfway to knowing how to tie your leader line onto your main line (or any other two pieces of line together)! This is one of the most widely used fishing knots which is easy/fast to tie and can be used to catch anything from trout, perch, bass, pike, salmon, red snapper, tuna, trigger fish, mackerel… basically anything you catch with a hook can be caught using this knot! This knot is similar in strength and simplicity to the palomar knot, trilene knot, improved clinch knot, loop knot, albright knot, fg knot, and others!

Quick disclaimer: This is but one of many methods to successfully tie this knot, and it happens to be the best one I have found! I hope it works equally well for you, but if it doesn’t, or if you have found something else that works better, I encourage you to stick to what works for you! I would always recommend practicing the knots and testing their strength yourself to ensure you are comfortable with how they work, and to avoid flinging lures into the ocean on a failed knot (ask me how I know!). Knots take practice, so make sure you’re comfortable with whatever you’re tying prior to trusting it with your gear! If you have any questions about the knot, please post them below and I will do my best to answer them. I hope this is helpful, and tight lines!
