Simply put, the double uni knot is one of the strongest knots ever created for terminal tackle or lures. If it's not important in your situation to have a low knot profile, and you just need a knot that simply WILL NOT BREAK OR SLIP, the double uni knot is an excellent choice. This knot is fantastic for all line types, but is especially effective for braided line of any size. If you're using the knot for heavy monofilament or fluorocarbon, it's important to make sure you thoroughly lubricate the knot prior to cinching, in order to ensure the knot is as tight and strong as possible.

The uni knot is what I use for swivels and hooks; sometimes I like to use the snail knot for my 1/0 circle hook when I’m jigging with a slip bobber; I will definitely use the double uni knot for my swivels from now on. I really like the snail knot also! I usually use 10 wraps on it. It’s not only strong, but it also holds the hook in a good position, especially when using a live night crawler, and I’ve lost less hooks using this as well!

@dtffishingmi 9 месяцев назад

double uni is a great choice for a swivel, especially for a braid to swivel connection. I'm a huge fan of the snell as well - I always use the snell for octopus hooks 👍

@richardgutierrez4621 9 месяцев назад

I have tied the Uni Knot for over 40 years saw someone test this knot on another channel with 65 lb. Mono he had heavy leather gloves couldn’t break it almost cut thru his gloves.I have been using it since for anything over 8 lb test. The Double Pitzen knot is equally as strong.

@calebhintz4096 2 месяца назад

Both great knots but there's a channel that tests line breaks with a pull meter and both the uni and double pitzen were just average. For braid the fish'n'fool knot was over 100% knot strength and for flouro and mono the double san diego jam won out, just interesting I suppose

@MegaMetalGirl1 Год назад

This is a great knot. Difficult to tie with light lines (at least for me it is). I tie the knot that Shaw Grigsby uses which is very similar with 3 tag ends. 6

@dtffishingmi Год назад

If you become familiar with the standard uni knot, it becomes a lot easier to perform this one in my experience. The steps are identical with the exception of doubling the line at the start. Early on, I found this knot to be most difficult with rigid heavy leader lines. If you adjust the number of wraps you make to compensate for the thickness and flexibility of the lines, it helps a ton! Thanks for watching 🙂

@kennethjackson7574 Год назад

Once upon a time I had a spool of 30 denier silk (1 mile weighed less than a nickel). I was wondering if it might be suitable for ultralight fishing line. Well, I found it to be unbreakable. Sort of. It was so slippery I couldn’t tie any sort of knot in it that wouldn’t just slide apart under tension! So much for that experiment.

@dtffishingmi Год назад

Interesting! Can’t say I’ve ever tried fine silk as fishing line. Have you tried a simple Palomar knot? If you’re tying directly to a hook, the snell might work as well, if you make enough wraps

@kennethjackson7574 Год назад

@@dtffishingmi No commonly used fishing knot, regardless of number of turns, held. I retired from the Coast Guard after thirty years, so I tried the doubled bowline, doubled and tripled figure eight, and waxing with beeswax in the hopes to making it “stickier.” All failed. Oh well.

@jamescraig8601 Год назад

I agree son. Big river cats are caught on strong knots. Tie one on either end of a 3ft. Piece. Stretch it till it breaks. The double uni with all the 50lb. Leader materials I had. The only knots knots that held consistently were the double uni. Tie some knots and break line or knot for us. Thank you for the great watch.

@deniseandmarkfirestine7443 8 месяцев назад

Great knot but I will use the palomar as it is a lot easier to use and I’ve never lost a fish with it..

@dtffishingmi 8 месяцев назад

Palomar is a fantastic knot. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 💪🏻

@evodiozepeda7002 Год назад

I just subbed. Would you say this knot works great with 50lb braid or should I just use standard uni knot for 50lb braid?

@dtffishingmi Год назад

Thanks for the sub! I would say it depends on the purpose. If you’re top water froggin’ for bass, this knot might be overkill, and a simple palomar would suffice for 50lb braid. If you’re throwing topwater spooks for big saltwater game fish, this knot might be the better choice. I use this particular knot anytime I tie directly to a topwater lure with lighter braid in the 20lb range and it’s worked great for me in those scenarios (basically any topwater lure with treble hooks). The only time I use 50lb in freshwater is for topwater frog lures that require a little more power on the hook set. Hope this helps!

@AnExperimentedTerror 9 месяцев назад

Should I be able to pull the knot up and down the line once tightened? I’ve followed this method shown, but on tightening down I’m able to slide the knot up and down my mainline? Is this ok? Or does it make the knot weaker? Thanks for your time.

@dtffishingmi 9 месяцев назад

The knot technically will always have the ability to slide back up the mainline, but it shouldn’t happen easily. You may need to tighten up your first cinch. This knot functions similar to a noose, such that it tightens the more you pull on it.

@thinking-monkey Год назад

Looks like a harder-to-tie version of the double pitzen. In the end, the knot is vitually identical but this one has more wraps (5-6 vs 3 wraps with double pitzen). I have to admit that after watching your double pitzen tying video and this one, I won't be using this one on the boat all day. Instead of having 6 rods with 6 setups, I usually just use my favorite rod and tie different lures, hooks, etc. on that one multiple times throughout the day. This knot takes quite a bit of separate manipulation steps with your fingers, seems like. (Liked and subscribed to your channel, regardless)

@dtffishingmi Год назад

The Double Pitzen is certainly my preferred on the water, and it's the stronger of the two when using mono/fluoro (in theory - the clinch style of knots are stronger for those line types due to their tactility and ability to bite into the line). However, if I was tying braid directly to a lure (e.g. a topwater frog), I would trust the double uni knot more. Lately, I've been taking around 2-4 setups with me (bank fishing). At any given time, I may have 4-6 different knots on my setups depending on the line types, rod actions, and techniques. I don't subscribe to the idea that there is a perfect knot for all applications; I think learning a variety has been quite helpful for me! P.S. - I'm currently expanding on my fishing adventures and fishing tips playlist, but the next three knots I will be covering are the FG knot, the Alberto Knot, and the loop knot. Thanks for watching!

@thinking-monkey Год назад

@@dtffishingmi I've heard of the loop knot, of course, but never the other two. Sounds interesting! 😃 Update: I just watched your loop knot one and it's not the knot I've always heard people call the "loop knot". Glad I watched it! My fishing buddies are going to wonder how I'm a knot guru all of a sudden lol I'm from the South so I'll probably have to strategically rename the Double Pitzen to "Triple Frog Knot" or something. I already foresee that being "How do you tie that Dual Piston again?" 😜

@robertyacoub9705 Год назад

Is this knot also for mono and flouro or just braid.

@dtffishingmi Год назад

It works for any line, but for mono and fluoro, I would only use for lighter line. It could be really tough to cinch it down with thick stiff line. If you use 20lb test or higher for those, I’d suggest a standard uni knot. This one does great with any braid though because it’s flexible

@aryanabhelakh1612 Год назад

What is the best knot for 20 lb mono?

@dtffishingmi 8 дней назад

The strongest knot for mono is the Fish-N-Fool knot, but it's very difficult to tie properly with stiffer mono (anything over 12 lb test). My go-to knot for mono > 12lb test is the San Diego Jam Knot. The Double San Diego Jam would be stronger, but still a little tougher to tie with stiff mono. With 20 lb. test, I would go with the standard SDJ knot with 6 - 7 wraps. 118% breaking strength and easy to tie. 👍

Nice but i did note you should have pulled the tag end on the loop and then the main line, then cut the tag end off.

@richardjones2811 10 месяцев назад

To be honest any knot is really strong if you pass through the eye twice first.

@dtffishingmi 10 месяцев назад

They're all strong, but they can have significant differences in breaking strength based on line type. For example, both the Palomar knot and Berkley Braid knot tested at 124% strength with braided line, but with fluoro, the Palomar tested at 101%, while the Berkley braid knot tested at 131%

@richardjones2811 10 месяцев назад

@@dtffishingmi Mate anything above 100 is golden, you can't ask for more than that. Tying braid leader is always risky compared to a fluoro/mono leader anyway as the abrasion resistance of braid is as much as wet toilet paper.

@dtffishingmi 10 месяцев назад

@@richardjones2811 yea tying braid directly to a lure only comes into play for me with topwater frogs and a couple other top waters, never as a leader. I understand your point as well, but in the example I gave, there was a 30% difference in strength, it’s pretty significant

@nephewbob7264 11 месяцев назад

Tying a uni knot on a bight does not make it any stronger than a uni knot tied on a single strand. The weak point is still where the wraps clench the standing end of the line, which is still just a single strand. It also makes the knot harder to dress fair, which can weaken the knot. Keep it simple, keep it single.

@dtffishingmi 11 месяцев назад

Did you test them with a pull force gauge?

@nephewbob7264 11 месяцев назад

@@dtffishingmi No Sir, I did not. But, as a level 3 rope access technician, I have a very good understanding of the physics involved in lines and methods of connection.

@nephewbob7264 11 месяцев назад

@@dtffishingmi I would also point out that what you are tying is not a double uni knot. A double uni knot is used to connect 2 lines, by creating a uni knot with the working end of one line around the standing end of the other, and then repeating with the other line.

You need a lot more leader material also to tie this knot, so you would go through a lot more mono or fluoro tying this knot
