How To Tie A Knot With Fishing Line

This knot is called the Uni-Knot, it is a basic fishing knot which can be varied to meet virtually every knot tying need in either freshwater or saltwater fishing.



1. Run the line through the eye of hook, swivel or lure at least 6" and fold to make 2 parallel lines. Bring the end of line back in a circle toward the hook or lure.

2. Make 6 turns with tag end around the double line.

Pass tag end through the circle.

Hold the double line at a point where it passes through the eye and pull the tag end to snug up the turns.


3. Now pull the standing line to slide the knot up against the eye.



4. Continue pulling until the knot is tight. Trim tag end flush with closest coil of knot. The uni-knot will not slip.
5. Go catch some fish
