Great tutorial, How To Knots. Can't wait to see more content from you. I smashed the thumbs up button on your video. Keep up the fantastic work! The clarity with which you explained the Double Uni Knot is impressive. Have you considered discussing variations of this knot for different fishing conditions or line types?
Thank you, I’m most experienced with smaller line types and haven’t ventured much into ocean or sea fishing, inland lakes mostly. I will definitely consider looking at variations for thicker lines and so on, pending I do my research first haha! Thanks for your comment!!
The very best way is to knot is a double square knot and make it permanent. When you don't need it anymore you hack it off, throw the scrap rope on the ground. If you need it again, you double square knot it again. Works for all knots without fail. In 70 years I have never had a double square knot fail.
In no way does this perform better. The very best way is to knot is a double square knot and make it permanent. When you don't need it anymore you hack it off, throw the scrap rope on the ground.

Am I viewing this incorrectly, or does it appear to be that one ties a clove hitch onto the standing end of the rope after looping it around the anchor point?
@@How2Knots thanks for the quick reply! I was in the boy scouts 20 years ago and decided it was time to try and remember all my knots and then learn some 'real' knots as well. I love quick guides like this.
What you have tied is a crown knot which is made with two anticlockwise half hitches you can also make another overhand knot using two clockwise half hitches which is called a wall knot .Ashley did not fully understand this fact as one can see by looking at his book.
Just a heads up... the knot you tied for #3 wasn't the Clove Hitch.... that was the Constrictor Knot. It holds very tightly and, depending on how much force is applied, usually has to be cut off because it cannot be untied. The Clove Hitch does not go "over the main line and underneath the X". To finish off the Clove Hitch you would just take your working end of the rope back over the pole and underneath the top line of the X (but parallel to the bottom of the X). Both ends (working end and standing end) should come out from the center of the X on opposite sides when complete. The Clove Hitch will hold under tension yet is easy to untie when slack is introduced. Other than that, great job! 👍👍
