Uni Knot
intermediate
Joining two lines together, or attaching line to a reel spool
Steps
- 1.Overlap the two line ends by about 6in.
- 2.Form a loop with one end and wrap the tag around both lines 5-6 times through the loop.
- 3.Pull that loop snug into a compact coil, this is one half of the knot.
- 4.Repeat with the other line's tag end, then pull both standing lines to slide the two coils together and cinch tight.
Useful for building a wind-on leader or joining your main line to a heavier shock leader for surf casting.
