Fishing Knots

The Uni-Knot System
One basic fishing knot which can be varied to
meet virtually every knot tying need in either fresh or salt water fishing. That was
the objective of Vic Dunaway, author of numerous books on fishing and editor of
"Florida Sportsman" magazine. The Uni-Knot system resulted. Knot
illustrations and directions thanks to Ande Monofilament.

Uni-Knot
--- Joining Shock Leader to Line |
|
|
| 1. When the leader
is 5 times or more the pound/test of the line, double ends of both the leader and line
back about 6". Slip the loop of the line through loop of leader far
enough to permit tying a Uni-Knot around both strands of leader. |
|
 |
| 2. With
doubled line, tie Uni-Knot around the two strands of leader. Use only four turns. |
|
|
| 3. Put finger
through loop of line and grasph both tag end and standing line to pull knot snug around
loop of leader. |
|
|
| 4. With one hand,
pull the standing leader (not both strands). With other hand pull both strands of
line (see arrows). Pull slowly until the knot slides to end of leader loop and all
slippage is gone. |
|
|
Uni-Knot
--- Double Line Shock Leader |
|
1. As a replacement for the
Bimini Twist or Spider Hitch, first clip off an amount of line needed for length of loop
desired.
Tie the two ends together with an Overhand Knot. |
|
 |
2. Double end of the
standing line and overlap 6" with knotted end of loop piece.
Tie Uni-Knot with tied loop around doubled standing line, making 4 turns. |
|
|
| 3. Now tie Uni-Knot with
doubled standing line around loop piece. Again, make 4 turns. |
|
|
| 4. Hold both strands of
doubled line in one hand, both strands of loop in other hand. Pull knots
together until they barely touch. |
|
|
5. Tighten by pulling both
strands of loop piece, but only the main strand of standing line.
Trim off both loop tag ends, which eliminates the Overhand knot. |
