▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT TOIT FISHING ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Fishing has been an integral part of my life since the age of six. From the early days of riding my BMX bike with all my kit down to our local fishing spot, to nowadays where I find myself daydreaming far too much about the next fishing trip with friends. I want to pass on to any child, teenager, or adult something that I have designed, learned, improved on or seen someone else do. This is the side I love about fishing – the learning, questioning the boundaries, maybe improving then teaching or passing on. At my core I am a fisherman, love the bite especially when it’s on, but right next to that is this desire to meet, talk and see what other fisherman are doing that is different to what I know.

These are, by far, the best knot strength videos on YouTube. Thank you!

Interesting results on fluoro, the knot seems to do very well on the thicker lines, similar to mono.

Some excellent content here. Have used the uni knot for 30 years as a charter fishing skipper. We double the main line before tying the uni knot, and have never broken a knot. Would love to see the test for that variation. We do similar with braid, direct to a swivel or snap swivel, but we double it twice, four strands, then tie a uni. Again, have never broken at the knot

Just comparing the results now to the Trilene, its so interesting that the one is better for lighter monofilanent and one is better on thicker lines.

Since you also test Improved Clinch knot you need to test Modified Uni knot as well. Cause when tied Uni knot with braid line people need modified version to avoid being slip. Finally i'am sory for my english .

Need a much better more detailed video on tying the knot with each type of line. I use this knot and love it but found out the hard way that the way you wrap the tag end after creating the loop through the hook/lure eye matters. You have to go in the correct direction from the start or the know isn’t good at all. Please make a more detailed video and explain which direction everything goes. Thanks.

You need to go thru the hook eye twice it will improve to beat all knots
