Uni Knot vs Palomar Knot: Which One Do You Trust a Big Fish To?

The Palomar is a fantastic knot — but it’s got a couple of real drawbacks, especially when you’re tying on a big crankbait, glidebait, or ChatterBait. The Uni Knot fixes them, and it holds 90–95% of your line’s strength. In this video I break it down step by step — through the eye, the six wraps, wetting it, and tightening it — plus the Double Uni for connecting braid to fluorocarbon or mono.
