Double Uni Knot
The Double Uni Knot is a quick, easy and reliable knot for joining a braided mainline to a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader.
1. Start by laying your lines parallel with each other, with plenty of overlap for completing your knot. Monofilament or fluorocarbon leader material (yellow) and braid (pink).
2. Create a loop in the braided (pink) line, laying it over the leader (yellow) line.
3. Start wrapping the pink line through the loop, ensuring you are also wrapping the yellow line.
4. Create at least 4 wraps, with up to 8 preferred with thin braided lines.
5. Pull the tag end and lightly bed down the braid (pink) line.
6. We now repeat the process for our leader (yellow) line. Create a loop in the yellow line.
7. Start wrapping the yellow tag end through the loop, ensuring you are also wrapping the pink line.
8. Use up to 6 wraps, with fewer wraps in heavier lines and leaders to reduce the bulk of the knot.
9. Pull the yellow tag end and lightly bed down the yellow line.
10. After moistening both lines gently pull on your main line and leader to slide the two knots together and work the knot tight. Trim both tag ends close to the knot.
