I really liked the oversized yellow line on the black backdrop. Much easier to see what’s happening. Very well filmed!

Sweet! Thank you for that feedback!!

What type of line is the yellow line used in your videos? Trying to teach Boy Scouts some of these required knots for the fishing merit badge and this demo line seems easy to manipulate for beginners. Thanks in advance.

Even though my dad served in the Korean War, he was taught a bunch of knots despite being a fighter plane mechanic. I've still got his seaman's book, and should go learn all those knots. He could still do semaphore (flags) signage well into his 80's.

[@jackmaher4466]

Thank you. I needed a knot for a different application and this worked just fine.

[@jeremycampo7433]

A good,very clear tutorial i will using this knot more often now

[@HimalayanFishing]

Pro Tip: Keeping too small of tag end when you trim the knot can be risky as it can cause to lose a big fish as fish can easily pull the line and free herself. Keeping some tag end of the line allows the knot to clinch down a little more if you hook a big fish that pulls hard. The beauty of this knot is that its getting more tighter when pulled.

[@guyparker4221]

More tighter? kinda like a more better knot

[@bElLtOn14]

[@SomeGuy-vo7we]

5 wraps are plenty for monofilament line but you want seven or eight for braided line because braided line is much more slick. I would also recommend leaving a little bit of tag when you trim the knot to allow the knot to cinch down a little more if you hook a big fish that pulls hard.

[@TVNando]

Uni-knot is my #1 choice for strength, if targetting big fish. To be honest if I am fishing small to medium, mediocre fighting fish I often use the old fisherman's/clinch knot. Its simple and worked my whole life. I used that knot solely for my first 20 years being a fisherman it's hard to stop myself before trying and switch over to uni especially when I need something tied ASAP and fish are biting. Instinct and muscle memory. All my premeditated ties are uni-knot.

Lubricant (I.e. spit) is absolutely necessary for mono, because it stretches. It’s a good idea for braid, but there is some evidence it actually hurts the performance of knots tied in fluoro.
