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! Subscribe for more knots and tips, and thanks for watching!
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!

Now that you know how to tie this knot, you already know one of the best ways to connect two lines together (e.g. your leader to your main line)! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/Ch94pF0BHtc/видео.html
Good to know🎉
Awesome !! Ty
What is a good knot to tie some (fitness type grips with a loop) to a 1 meter long climbing rope that is about 2/3 cm thick.
So one grip is is attached on each end of the rope so i can use it like a make shift face pull attachement/row grip attachement.
All help is appreciated 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Why do you want to do less wraps with stronger line?
awesome man thank you so much I'm trying to become more into fishing, this will help a lot!!!
My dad bless his heart passed away , but as a kid going fishing he showed me how to tie the knots. And he showed me how to tie the boat up using all kind of knots. I miss him.
I’m really sorry to hear about your loss… some of the most cherished times in my life are the moments I get to spend fishing with my dad, so I understand how important that is. ❤️
I miss my dad after 21 years and we weren’t particularly close. Never fully goes away and that’s okay.
awesome he taught you that. good memories. Memories is all we have at the end of the day :D
Thanks! That knot was amazing and I already got 3 pikes and the knot seems to be really strong. My dad has always done my knots but now at the age of 20 it was time to learn to do these by myself, so thanks a lot!
I learned this knot almost 50 years ago, and it's the only one I have used since. This knot will hold so well, you can trim the tag end right up against the knot, and it won't unravel.
That’s awesome! It is for sure a great knot. Thanks for the comment!
it's only knot i've used in over a decade since i learned it
+10 for the knot tutorial, -9 for the music, +10 for not showing your mouth. Here's your thumbs up lol
I got tired of loosing expensive lures and big fish using the Palomar so I started using the uni. Best knot ever! I haven't broke off once since. Plus I can tie it in the dark/blind.
I really like it as well! But I enjoy the Palomar too-I use them both!
Really? I've always used the Palomar. This one seems you have to stretch the line more to get the knot to fully seat. Figured it'd be bad on the line, and it only has one loop onto the lure. Hmm.. I may try it. It def looks faster
Not sure why that would be. A correctly tied Palomar knot will exceed the breaking strength of the line your using.
I use this knot for most connections. Vic Dunaways book taught me many ways to employ it, and along with about 2 others, I have never found a situation that wasn't able to be resolved. Thank you Mr.Dunaway
When I was kid I learned that knot from a fishing book.
The only knot I ever used.
That’s awesome! If you have to use only one knot, it’s a good one! 🤙 thanks for watching!
I used to use the palomar knot exclusively. Several years ago i was on a charter fishing trip and i asked the captain what his favorite knot was. He said the uni. I learned it and havent used any other since.
Thank You. My father taught me fishing knots at a young age and I am just getting back into the fishing scene. This is one knot he never taught me and I cant wait to give it a try.
That's awesome, I'm so glad to hear it. My dad got me into fishing when I was little too, and I learned so much from him. Hopefully this knot helps you out, and thank you for the comment, I really appreciate it!
Thanks man, I am closer to becoming the fisherman I'd like to be!
This video just upped my fishing game!!! WOW. Thank you so much! I really look forward to going out on the water again with my son and teaching him this ❤️
Awesome!! I’m so glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
My dad passed away on March 11th 2024 after a sudden cardiac arrest. I'm his only daughter and just turned 19, we used to go fishing every year on my birthday and I really miss it. There are a lot of skills of his that I didn't get to learn, tying a fishing hook is one of them.
Thank you for this video, now I'll be able to keep me and my dad's fishing tradition alive hopefully 😊🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss, and thank you so much for sharing this. My most treasured times and memories are those I have spent with my dad. I’m so glad this video was able to help in some way. 🙏❤️
Best knot instructional video bar none. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching!! I’m glad it could be helpful!
Ich verstehe kein englisch. Aber das Video erklärt alles super gut, auch ohne Worte ist es gut. Danke fürs Zeigen👍
Super, vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen! 😅
I learned knots in Ranger School in 88, and I still use several of them. We "dress down" the knot to tighten it, by pulling each part out a little, alternating as you hold the knot. I think you could have less risk of straining your line or your tendons if you used your fingers to slide the wraps into place instead of pure tension. I like your knot, and the wetting is a new trick to me, so thank you.
Thank you for the tip, I may try that! Thanks for watching!
I learned loop pull and swoop to tie my running shoes in boot camp
I use it all the time. Never fails. Thanks for the demonstration.
Absolutely, you gotta love this one. Thank you for watching!
I've been using this knot for 50 years. It's fantastic. I don't hold it the same way he shows, but I can tie it in less than 30 seconds.
And he is right, it is great for tying 2 lines together.
Works like a charm my grandfather showed me this as a kid and works
Glad to hear it! And thanks for watching!
This is the best video of this knot I have come across, and trust me...I need it bad!
Brilliant step by step tutorial with clear verbal and visual instructions on how to tie the Uni Knot. Have just tried it out and it was perfect first go.
Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful, thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Your videos are awesome, brother. Thank you.
Thanks bro! So glad you find them useful! 🤙🙏
Thank you..!
You’re welcome! 🤙
I must admit, I have viewed several versions on how to tie this knot. However this is the most straightforward and well explained video I have viewed.
Thank you for sharing this.. 👍
As a beginner I thank you
Thanks for an excellent demonstration
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Great one
Thank you! So much easier than the other way!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting (again 😉😁)!
Cool, thank you!
Ty for the tip😊
This is the video that finally helped me tie a Uni knot!!! Tyvm lol!
Awesome! So glad it was useful, thank you for watching!
I have used the san deigo jam knot and landed yellowfin tuna over 200lbs pounds. Best knot learned.
That’s awesome! I intend to make a video on that knot soon as well, I’m glad to hear it has worked so well for you!
Thank you for your knowledge and knot tips 🤙🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼
👊 absolutely, thank you for watching!
I love this knot and you lexplain it so easy to understand. Thank you.
Outstanding
Thank you this will be better than my granny knot 😂.
Haha you're welcome, glad it was helpful!!
Thanks! Gonna go fishing for the first time in like 30 years and this is really helpful.
Glad it was helpful! I really hope your fishing trip goes well!!
Always pass braid twice through the eye for piece of mind. The uni to uni knot is amazing to use for tying leaders.
I agree, I made a video on that as well! Check it out: ruclips.net/video/Ch94pF0BHtc/видео.html
Thank you for watching!
Do not do that as it can cause friction and break your line. It is still a single line so going twice does not increase strength or create redundancy.
Additionally, when you cinch it down, do not go all the way to the eye, stop about a 1/4" from the eye, hook the hook around something stationary, grab the tag end with your fishing pliers and chinch that tight. Now you have a solid knot with some play between the eye and the line, a good technique for fishing with live bait, gives it a little more flexibility and action. When you have a fish on, it will tighten the uni-knot to the eye tight at that point.
The two most important fishing knots all angles need to be able to do in their sleep, the uni-knot and the Bimini twist.
Tight lines always! Capt. K
Good advice! I haven’t done exactly that, but it makes sense to me! Thank you for sharing your expertise, I’ll give it a shot! 🙏
No skill involved fishing with live bait.. That's entrapment 😆
Arguably the only knot you need to know. Uni to the spool. Double uni to the leader. Uni to the hook. Tight lines
Agree completely! Even uni as a bobber stop! 😂💯 thanks for watching!
Excellent! Thanks!
Wow. Just tried this out today, I'll never go back to the clinch. This was SO much easier and feels far more reliable. Clinch always comes undone for me on my test pulls, maddening. Thank you for the knowledge!
Absolutely! So glad you found this helpful! The cinch is a good knot in its own right, but you may find this is a little stronger/more reliable! Let me know what you think after some use!
The day I lost a bass of a lifetime was the last time I ever used a cinch knot and the day I learned the uni.
I get pissed off just thinking about a freaking cinch knot!
Great Video...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JustTheLip u welcome keep up the good work…
I used the old reliable fisherman's knot for the first 30 yrs of my life but when I discovered the uni-knot I immediately switched. It's easier and quicker and by all accounts stronger.
Although the fisherman’s knot is still a good one and I use it on occasion as well, I agree on all counts! This is a very strong and fast knot! 🤙 thanks for the comment and for watching!
thank you. I just know this is called uni knot. It is so convenient especially if you do not have a carabiner. I use this knot a lot of times and I kind of discovered or re-invent it coming from fisherman’s knot. Now I know it is called uni knot. I use this knot to pull my buoy, hold my spear gun and its shaft
Thanks for teachin me how to do the uni knot
Happy to help! Tight lines! 🤙🤙
In the UK this is called the grinner knot. It preserves line strength better than just about any other knot.
Thanks a bunch for the video
I can’t believe this you have responded to every comment so as a South Dakotan angler you get my sub
Heck yeah man! 🤙 Thanks for the sub! I’m actually in the upper-Midwest right now, doing some fishing in Minnesota. Hope to have a video on that out soon! Thanks for the sub!
Helpful
🙏🤙
I know i am late to this video, but before i saw this video i was using a way weaker knot, so when i used heavier baits, occasionally they would fly off because of the weak knot i've tied (syk, i did do the wetting thing).
Thank you so much! I really want to try this one out and catch some pike before the mating season starts!🙏
I have been using this knot since 1992 for slip bobber stops. I have never used it for terminal tackle knots. Thank you!
I also use it for that purpose, I forgot to mention it in the video! Thank you for commenting and for watching!
Thanks! I have pretty bad Dyslexia and this worked well for me!🙃
I’m really glad to hear it worked! Thanks a lot for watching!
Thnks you
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
Been using the uni-knot for over 30yrs on all line types.
🤙🤙
Hello, the Fishing Fool knot, aka Modified Uni knot, has been found to be 28% stronger than the Uni knot, and only requires passing the tag end through the lure/ hook eye etc. one extra time at the beginning. Which gives you two points of contact. It's a great knot and I mean you no disrespect Sir... Just trying to help... Tight Lines!!
AWESOME! thank you!!!
Very good tutorial guys
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Stupid easy, thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Great job on the video, my friend! I really enjoy surf fishing in the southern region of Australia and I focus on catching Mulloway and sharks. When it comes to my swivels, I prefer using the uni knot to tie them onto my 80lb fluorocarbon line. However, I learned a valuable lesson after losing a big fish due to my 4-wrap uni knot giving way. Wrapping 80lb fluorocarbon line over 5 turns can be a bit challenging, especially when coupled with a tendency towards laziness. As a recommendation, I would strongly suggest doing 5 wraps when tying a uni knot with line over 60lb.
Thanks for the tip! That’s crazy! Are you sure you lost it because it was only 4 turns?
Never seen that knot, nice.
Absolutely! Hope it’s helpful!
Thank you so much👍👍
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
Badass knot, never fails 💪
Gotta love it. Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
Very quick and easy indeed
Thanks for watching!
Thank you👍👌
Absolutely 🤙🤙 thanks for watching!
Palomar is very good too but I'm going to try this one .
No argument here, I really like the palomar knot as well!
@@JustTheLipYep I tied the Uni cinch recently & so far so good holding strong & very easy to tie like the Palomar.
Awesome man! Glad it’s working for you!
Wow - that easy and thanks for the video
Great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great thank you .
You are welcome!
Thank you so much
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
You’re welcome! 🤙
Just wanted to learn to tie a good fishing knot.......this became therapy, mate! haha! So relaxing!
Haha thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🤙
Used it for 40yrs only knot you need to know you can tie anything that has an eye also you can join any 2 lines together withe ease using The back to back uni knot It's awesome
I agree! Great knot, thank you for watching and commenting!
Never rig fishing lines where the lines “hook” and pull over each other. FRICTION
A great knot. I've never had one fail yet.
I agree completely!
NICELY DONE MY FRIEND 🙂👍
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!
Thank you so much sir. I feel like a boy scout now lol
Will be looking on ur channel for other useful tips!
Awesome!! You are welcome! 🙏 thank you for the comment!
Nice knot!
Thank you! Cheers! 🤙
Knots are amazing.
Agreed! 🤙
Some videos make this same thing look so complicated. This simplified the uni knot! Thanks!
Best video of the Uniknot I’ve seen so far! The other videos don’t show pinching the bottom Thanks!!
Awesome!! Glad you liked it, thank you for watching!! 🙏🤙
very good knot
Thanks! I have a hard time tying fishing line now because my close vision is getting bad. I have to wear reading glasses and still have a hard time. I'm not giving up! I will keep trying and preparing my rods before every fishing trip. 🎣
You can do it! My dad has the same issue but with some patience, he can tie pretty much everything I can and to the same strength as well. I hope the video helped, and thanks for commenting!
With some practice you can do it without looking. Just keep practicing and you will get it! 😊
For an even stronger Uni knot, pass the line through the eyes of the hook or swivel then (before forming the loop!) wrap the tag end around the running line 5-6 times. Next form the loop and wrap the tag end again 5-6 times through the loop and over the previous winding. Moisten and snug down as usual. This variatiopn is particularly useful for braids and lighter lines. It is also preferred when attaching mono end-on to braid to for a mono tip for lures!
This is interesting... I have not heard of this variation, but I will give it a try!
This knot a the palomer are the only fishing knots you need.
They are great knots and will cover you in most instances for sure!!
i will defently try this the next time i go fishing.....thx
Awesome! Have fun and good luck!
Been using that knot for salmon fishing and more since 1987.
Heck yeah man, that’s awesome!! Thanks for watching and for commenting, I’m glad it has worked so well for you for so long 🤙 tight lines!
THanks!
🤙 you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Instead of pulling the main line to seat the barrel of the knot, grasp the barrel between your fingertips and slide it home under gentle pressure on the main line. This reduces damage to the line as it makes the turn through the eye of the hook.
Thank you for the tip!
Good Many thanks
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
👍😉 Super strong and easy
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Great knot for plugs Don't cinch it down lure swims great,joining lines great,for a hook I'll stick with the palomar never ever failed in many years for me,nice job here thanks
I also use the palomar as well, both great knots! Thanks for watching!
the best
If you don’t know how to tie a knot, tie a lot! Lol great tutorial
Great advice! 🤙 haha thanks for watching!
Got it. Thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
A bit difficult to explain without a visual, however, I invert the loop so the tag end goes inside both main strands and touches hook eye before wrapping. This reduces the angle the string takes as it leaves the hook eye when tightened. This takes a great knot to another level...
👍👍👍thank you ,,my friend
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
damn im new to fishing and i just bought a new rod and line, other videos were so confusing and im going fishing day after and I accidentally pulled my knot and it broke... turns out i didnt tie it well your video explained it so well thank you so much....
Yes sir this helped me
Awesome! I'm glad, thank you for commenting!
I use this one and trilene knot exclusively
