Much better than Berkley Braid if you fish with braid or mono. Since I fish with mono, it's a good thing there's a stronger knot than Berkley Braid that isn't a pain in the ass to tie. Pretty sure I won't lose lures anymore. Thank you very much for this video.

@dtffishingmi День назад

Berkley braid knot is super strong but I’ll agree it’s a pain the ass with mono. This knot here is also a pain with mono sometimes, especially as the line gets stronger/stiffer

This knot is known as the Double Grinner ( a Grinner knot is a Uni knot) in the UK, where every fresh water fisherman knows it. It's a standard knot. It's been the goto knot for terminals for prolly a 100 years. Watch any of Matthew Collins' or the other Carp fishermen's Hair rig videos and you'll see them tie the Grinner Knot (Uni Knot) and Double Grinner for braid(braid has a tendency to slip and undo the standard Blood Knot) And since Carp fishing is a sport in the rest of the world, this knot is trusted.

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

It always seems there are several names for any given knot - I come across them often. This particular name came from the man who was credited as the inventor after he submitted it in the “Knot Wars” competition about 14 years ago. In reality, this knot and all other knots could date back to ancient Sumeria for all we know 🤷🏻‍♂️

@michaelbeckman1794 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the great video. I've been using the palamore knot for many years but will try this knot this season. My most common breakoff reason is from a northern cutting my braid.

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

That’s the worst. I fish topwater for pike and around pike often, and I’ll typically tie on a 6 inch 30 lb fluoro or mono leader. It can affect the actions of smaller lures, but with bigger whopper ploppers (110+) and frogs, works out fine and won’t break off on the first pike. Pain in the ass to change out the leader but better than getting robbed by those toothy SOB’s

@michaelbeckman1794 2 месяца назад

@dtffishingmi so your saying That the florocarbon has better abrasion resistance than braid?

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

@@michaelbeckman1794 yes fluoro has the higher abrasion resistance, but it also sinks whereas braided line floats. That’s why I typically only use a 6 inch fluoro leader - any more than that would affect the action of the lure or make it sink

@michaelbeckman1794 2 месяца назад

OK so what's the best knot for braid to floro leader? How does the nail knot, floro to braid work as far as strength? I usually use it when I add new line to the spool about 50- 75' from the beginning of the spool. Never really gets a load on the knot that far down.

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

@@michaelbeckman1794 strongest would be the FG knot, but if it’s way down in the spool and won’t see the light of day, the uni to uni knot is a good easy option

@vernervanschalkwyk2280 20 дней назад

I fish 90% of the time with straight braid here in South Africa. I used the palomer knot until last weekend. Csn't to try this knot this coming weekend.

@dtffishingmi 20 дней назад

This knot and the Double Uni Knot are both incredibly strong knots, both stronger than the Palomar :) - What species do you typically fish for there in South Africa?

@1Mannco 18 дней назад

Always use a double Palomar with braid..but this knot shown here is a very good knot too.

@pancakeface5717 2 месяца назад

I have a heck of a time tying this knot in mono/flouro because of the memory in the line and the dexterity required. Would you show how you manage it?

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

It’s not just you - it’s tougher with mono/fluoro - though I wouldn’t recommend it for fluorocarbon as it did not test as well in strength against other (easier to tie) knots in that line category. With lighter mono, try applying pressure from below against the lines going through the eye with your index finger and thumb on your non dominant hand as you perform the wraps and cinch. This will help to keep those lines through the eye in the vertical position. If you’re using heavier monofilament (>12lb) - the knot becomes less practical. In those cases I typically will use the double San Diego Jam, or for super heavy mono - the standard San Diego Jam 👍

@Natural-Causes 2 месяца назад

It’s similar to the trilene knot which I use most

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

The Trilene knot is excellent for monofilament line for how simple it is to tie - I need to do a tutorial for that one!

@jamesstringer4211 3 месяца назад

What about Spiderwire/Dyneema? I've used this line for years and breaks occasionally with the Trilene and Palomar Knot. I usually Catfish on bottom. I'll try this knot and see how things go for me. Thank you.

@dtffishingmi День назад

For catfishing, I don't think Spiderwire is too bad a choice. It's cheap, strong, and abrasion resistant. If you were going to be casting lures tho, I'd never use it. It's stiff and coarse, and doesn't cast well. Without exaggeration, my casting distance went up about 40 percent when I switched to Daiwa J-Braid x8 from a brand similar in composition to Spidewire. To get the best of both words - casting distance/abrasion resistance - very tough to beat Daiwa J-Braid Grand. In my opinion, best braid on the market.

@KevinDeguara 2 месяца назад

So can you tell which is the best knot for fluorocarbon in your opinion..thanks

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

For tying directly to the lure: Double San Diego Jam Knot. I have a tutorial for that one as well 🤘

@anthonyarkadia9760 2 месяца назад

Double Uni I have tested , and everytime it is the only 100% knot out there! If your testing 30lb braid that line won't snap until about 36lbs of force.. 20lb braid, it snapped at 28lbs of force. 60lb braid is where it blew my away, it didn't break until it had 77lbs of force.. Those numbers are averages on 5 pulls each, per knot.

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

Makes me feel even more confident about it!

@Ardeact 28 дней назад

Double uni is just way too bulky to go through baitcaster guides.

@dtffishingmi 28 дней назад

@@Ardeact there are two knots commonly referred to as the double uni- you’re thinking of the line to leader knot, but the one he’s referring to here is the line to lure knot. It’s a uni knot tied with the line doubled through the eye

@Ardeact 27 дней назад

@@dtffishingmi Regardless of knot strength, you need to keep in mind where the tag is pointing. Knots with tags pointing back at main line tend to hangup more often than towards the lure. That's why I use improved clinch

@dtffishingmi 27 дней назад

@@Ardeact You're right, but I only use this knot and the double uni knot with braided line - the tag ends getting hung up isn't really an issue with braid

@HaveFaithInGod 2 месяца назад

So what is better for flurocarbon as you say this is not the best for that?

@dtffishingmi 2 месяца назад

Double San Diego Jam knot - I have a tutorial for that one as well 🤘

@michaelbeckman1794 Месяц назад

Would the knot be any stronger if you made three turns vs two turns around the eye?

@dtffishingmi Месяц назад

After the second wrap, you start to exceed the width of the uni knot with any additional wraps, and the wraps fall to the side, since they are not tucked underneath the knot. If the extra wrap IS under the uni knot, then it’s likely crossed over another wrap.

@michaelbeckman1794 Месяц назад

Thanks. I retired it and you are right. Now looking at the best way to connect the floro leader, 20#, to the 30# braid mainline. Will the double uni be a good easy and fast knot strong option?

@dtffishingmi Месяц назад

@@michaelbeckman1794 I would strongly reccomend the Alberto knot over the uni-to-uni knot. It's fairly simple and I have a tutorial for that one as well 👍

@1Mannco 18 дней назад

@@michaelbeckman1794 I'm now fishing for Striped Bass and I use 30lb braid mainline tied to a 20 inch leader of 20lb flouro. I use an "Improved Alberto Knot" with 8 wraps up and back and at the end where 'you start it', I'll finish the cinch with 4-5 wraps at the end. Imo it's almost a strong as a FG knot but easier to tie and faster, takes me 1 minute. I've never had any problems with it...watch YT videos of this peticular knot.

@anthonyarkadia9760 3 месяца назад

The double uni with 3 tag ends is even stronger...!

This knot is hard with mono line.

@dtffishingmi Месяц назад

It can be difficult, you really have to pinch those wraps in place throughout the process- they really want to move. I find it helps to heat up the line with the fingers to make it more supple before you tie
