Uni to
Uni Knot
This particular knot is used for tying two pieces
of line together or tying a monofilament leader to the new
braided lines. When working with soft monofilament, braided
lines tend to cut into the mono-line. This can be overcome or
slowed down by using a loop for your free end on the braided
line and then tying the same knot as shown below.
The single Uni-Knot is the basis for an entire
knot tying system. Once the basic knot is learned, it can be
used for everything from tying hooks to light line, to joining
lines that vary by 10 times in test strength. It also provides
100 % knot strength in most of it's applications.
