Uni knot

I was always told, and have personally experienced that the line will break before the Uniknot fails. I use it a lot too, mostly for when I'm tossing rubbers.

I think this might be able to help that breaking problem haha!
I can fix that too. For losing those old rubbers we don't like letting go of won't happen any more!

thanks for info everyone. I have used the uni to uni in the past but have moved away from it. Just changing my knot at the hook after losing a YT this year on a bad knot.

Here is a little something extra for the uni knot that I found:

Another very strong uni-knot fan here (double meaning intended.) The "secret" to good uni-knots in mono or fluoro is to lubricate and pull up slowly using both the standing and tag ends. There's even a variation of the uni that produces a non-slipping loop, whic is great for lures that need a lot of freedom to produce the correct action. It's cleverly called the non-slip mono knot. See it and many more really good knots here http://www.animatedknots.com/indexfi...matedknots.com

For tying a hook to mono it's ok, but the SD knot is better.

I only use the uni to uni for 1 application. Solid spectra to solid spectra.
8 turns on each side will hold securely.
----------------
I know a lot of you like and use this knot for mono to spectra connections, but I've done some testing with this combination and have found if you don't perfectly shape and (short wet-draw) the knot it will burn the mono and the line will fail.
It takes too much attention to detail, and line handling to produce a good uni to uni with mono to spectra.
-The same doesn't apply when tying spectra to spectra connections with this knot.

------------------------------
The Tony Pena Knot.

A 12 wrap up, and 12 wrap down Tony Pena - with a double overhand knot holds better with less knot handling, faster tying time, and is more easily identified as drawing and cinching correctly.

Tie both of them and test them for yourself.

The double SD knot is even better. Its the one i always use.
