Wow, all these negative no-hows ! This is an excellent knot that just takes a little time to master. It is the smoothest there is for casting, much smaller than the double uni, GT or cats paw and more secure than the FG. You cannot tie it faster without a bobbin as some dropkick commented. Amazing how people are quick to condemn something they have never tried (or not able to master). For those of us that use this knot and can tie it quickly, I guess we'll continue to enjoy the benefits of the PR and the rest won't !
You're 100% correct. These comments are silly about how a uni to uni is somehow the ultimate line to line connection. It's fine for some applications but it's useless for others. Nobody is tying this knot faster or even close to as well without the bobbin. There are less expensive bobbins than this one but it's necessary. I use it to end splices with hollow core and it's incredible. Basically just tying this knot over the splice to ensure the line doesn't ride up but it's so thin even serving can't do it better.
That was a good informative video on using the bobbin mate. Amazed at all the negative comments though... if it's too expensive to buy Shimano then look on ebay/Amazon. Dozens of off brands for less. If you can tie an FG knot faster than this video then why the f#$k are you trolling youtube for easier methods? And this isn't the FG knot btw.
This is a very fine tool, I enjoy very much the excellent knot, thin and strong, it's not for free but definitely worth the money. Thanks for the video
I always use PR knot for my braided / fluorocarbon line combination and the best way to do this is using a bobbin. It will be cumbersome at first but you will get used to it. Very thin, streamlined, and strong knot.
When you've lost half a dozen bluefin tuna because any and all knots you tie just ends up slipping, then you start looking for real strong knots. You don't need this if you are going to platter fish...
The PR knot gets close to 100% line strength. A uni to uni join loses about 50% of the lines strength. There is no comparision. A uni to uni is a reliable connection, but not the best for strength or for casting profile. A well tied PR knot should be tied the night before. Uni to uni or 4 turn surgeons good for when the fish are biting.
I'm not going to dislike this vid because I think it was well put together . But there are easier faster knots that woks just as well and I just cant see the use for a bobbin winder, unless you are retired and got nothing better to do with your time than to take 10 minutes to tie a knot
I'm a woman, I can tie the uni splice in a minute or less. Tie it, Lick the line, easy lubricant, pull, you are done. I could of bring in a 30lbs yellow tail by the time he's done with the video.
These guys are jigging with long leaders and the connection is going through the guides endlessly. A uni to uni is not the correct knot for this application, it's too bulky and will weaken throughout the fight. They use $50+ jigs so it's not just losing a fish to the knot. Either an FG, a PR, or many now use hollow core to eliminate the knot entirely. The uni to uni is a fine knot for some applications but this definitely isn't one of them.
Uni slip knot to tie leader to hook/swivel/lure/jig, double uni to tie leader to braid. Alberto knot to tie thick leader to thin braid. There, that's what will do the job for most fishermen. Unless if you catching pei tuna Marlin ofc
Agreed. The lighter is very cool. The tool is to its just a waste of time and money. I can tie an FG which is the strongest slimmest knot there is in a minute
This is for people who have more money than senses. Too ridiculously long for tying a knot. I'm sure one of these days there will be a creation of a fishing robot to stand beside you and tie all your knots and even set the hook for you-LOL!!!
11minute video, 11 uni knots tied with my fingers on a rocking boat and a couple of 4lb channel whiting caught...for bait. That thing is a complete waste of time!!

Perfect solution to a problem nobody will ever have! Thats twelve minutes I will never get back.

very detailed explanation, thank you. Finaly the first video I was able to follow easly. Unfortunatly not availible in Cambodua.
i love shimano products but hands down i can tie this same knot twice as fast by hand
Looking forward to trying this knot. Thank You for sharing this information!
there's nothing wrong with this video, when I first started fishing, it took me 30min to an hour to tie a knot. it's good for a beginner.
Now lets see you do this on a rocking boat. I could have finished an uni knot by the time you finished introducing the equipments you'll be using.
The PR knot gets close to 100% line strength. A uni to uni join loses about 50% of the lines strength. There is no comparision. A uni to uni is a reliable connection, but not the best for strength or for casting profile.

i get really jealous of idiots like you who spend their lives in blissful ignorance
Jim Zaharias the fg knot is the best and when you know how to do it , it’s fast and the best
Stupid ideas from Shimano .. tie yr ball ..
Where can I get that Shimano rod holder?
Here is a link for the lighter/cutter it's called a Bouz line cutter ll

I was thinking I can tie a FG knot before he loads up his bobbin with line lol

+Soraya Nakamura why does being a woman make a difference?
+Seb Chada because they have to watch their manicure when they tie fishing knots
Lucky line
Very nice knot and a way to tie it BUT the price is too steep for an occasional fisherman like me :(
Angel sanget mas,kulo ngangge iketan sangkeng brekly simpel sanget mas
Is this different than an FG knot? Looks overly complicated to me.
Great video!
Thank you
very expensive and most of the work is by hands !!
omg!!!! i can tie Fg knot, loop knot hook, cast a net hook bait and catch fish in less time
exelent knot thenkiu shimano fishing
Don't use abbreviations! You might know what they mean but I don't (and many others)
LOL...Just use a UNI knot or UNI to UNI knot.
Make sure you wrap the tag end about 14 times.

exelent knot thenkiu shinano fishing
I can tie a fg Knott before you can load your bobbin but ok to each his own I don't need it
Only $89.99 with an 80 page book of instructions
Why isn't any of this in the USA?
Cuz the USA wants to sell cheaper stuff at the same costs. We are used to that with most of our goods.
shimano rm200/pc at Lazada😨. Waste money, U can get cap ayam one at rm50/pc
if you have to use something like this to tie a knot, you shouldn't be fishing
Uni slip knot to tie leader to hook/swivel/lure/jig, double uni to tie leader to braid. Alberto knot to tie thick leader to thin braid. There, that's what will do the job for most fishermen. Unless if you catching pei tuna Marlin ofc
Wrong....
You should be able to fish even without a reel....

What is that lighter called? And where can I get one?
Agreed. The lighter is very cool. The tool is to its just a waste of time and money. I can tie an FG which is the strongest slimmest knot there is in a minute
+yeldarbrellef a minute? I can tie fishing knots faster than that in windy snowy conditions with gloves on
Fuck it. I rather tie it using a finger. This looks completed.
A cheaper way to do this is use a fly tying bobbin
Wait til you see the price..
2018 they now have a DC version with electronic brakes so you can’t over spool. What a joke!
nail knot
This is for people who have more money than senses. Too ridiculously long for tying a knot. I'm sure one of these days there will be a creation of a fishing robot to stand beside you and tie all your knots and even set the hook for you-LOL!!!
Set the hook for you? Electric fishing reels already exist
you r right,
