Uni-Knot

This is the best knots around withstanding sudden jerks better than other knots. Very strong and can be used in a number of applications although it is most commonly used for tying fishing line to terminal tackle.The uni-knot works with both braided lines as well as monofilament fishing lines.

The knot can be tied directly to the hooks eye in the traditional manner or the knot can be tied as a loop. Instead of sliding the knot all the way to the eye simply slide it to the size loop desired. Then, gripping the loop just forward of the hook eye and pull firmly on the tag end when the loop is at the desired size. This locks the uni-knot around the standing line.

Uni-Knot Snell

The uni-knot version that is snelled. This puts the knot below the eye of the hook where it is protected from abrasion. The angle of pull on the hook is also slightly different than a regular non-snelled hook with is slightly better for setting the hook.

Uni-Knot Join Two Lines

Uni-Knot it is a simple matter of adapting it to join two lines together. Now you no longer need to know a seperate knot for this. No need for a fishing knot and another for joining two seperate line.

Clove Hitch

Clove Hitch is a quick and easy way of tying a line temporarily to a piling or post. It will usually not bind and unless the pole can turn will usually not unroll once it has been pulled tight. It can be worked lose by repeatedly working the tag line back and forth varying the angle. You can add one or two half hitches on the standing line for a more secure hitch. With the half hitches this is a excellent way to tie up to a dock without the line binding over time.

Alpine Butterfly

Alpine Butterfly is one way of putting a loop in the middle of your rope. The rope still runs straight. It is also easy to adjust and to untie. And most importantly is easier to untie, after being weighted, than a figure eight. Not to say that it can’t jam though.

Bowline Knot

Bowline Knot, which forms a loop, is one of the most important knots to know especially for boat owners. The bowline knot is the prefered knot whenever a line is expected to be under a load. Give it periodic slack and the bowline knot is not secure enough. This can be remedied by leaving a long tag line and tying a stopper knot.But to reimphasis… the reason this knot is so widely known and used is because it will almost never jam.
