This video will teach you how to tie one of the easiest knots to tie two lines together, the Double Uni Knot! This knot can be used any time you need to connect two pieces of line together (such as a leader to the main line), and this video will show you the tricks to tie it quickly and effectively! We will also go over one situation when you should not use this knot, so make sure you're not making that common mistake! 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 uni knot, 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!

Good knot good video. I was about to throw all my equipment in the lake and go golfing, which i also suck at.

Yours is the first explanation that mentions making a 6 with the line. That greatly simplifies remembering how to tie the uni. Thanks!

[earlharvey]

Very clear and easy to follow; I've been using this knot for quite a while after watching this video; kudos to your presentation, the closeup camera work, and your verbal explanation!

[timmoore]

Thanks for the clear explanation. These knots are so small that they go through the guides with no problem at all.

[imadumas]

man you gotta "Hawk Tuah" that knot!

The 6 is the visual I needed to get this knot done, thanks

I take an 8" or so line and do half of this to make a bobber stop! This is awesome and helpful, thank you

[tankers]

I am missing my left thumb do to a forklift accident 25 years ago and I've never been able to tie this knot until following your video. Thank you so much

[christiemick]

Thank you for this easy to understand video!

This has become my go to and basically only knot for braid to fluoro, also for hooks or swivels with a single uni. Other knots I used were popping repeatedly under hard strikes or long runs with bull redfish. I'd retrieve a curly end at the swivel or hook where the knot had failed. I've never had this knot fail, the line breaks first. Plus, with little practice you can tie this quickly even in rough water.
I wet the knot and clinch down the ends hard. When done right the tag can be clipped off nearly flush at that point as it won't slip.

This was helpful. im going to California in two days and locked for a tie line to line. Thank you!
