The Uni Knot, originally known as the Duncan Knot after its inventor Norman Duncan, was later popularized as the Uni Knot by outdoor writer Vic Dunaway due to its versatility in various applications. It is also referred to as the Grinner Knot. When used to connect two lines, it is called a Double Grinner or a Double Uni Knot.
The Uni Knot experiences a transformation as it is tightened, where the outer wraps shift internally and vice versa. The Uni Knot initially creates an adjustable loop, which solidifies and adjusts in size upon tightening. In scenarios like joining two lines within the Uni Knot system, each knot is looped around the other’s standing end.
The Uni Knot serves as the key element in the Uni Knot System, providing all necessary applications for fishing with a single knot. To link two lines, a Uni-knot is wrapped around the other line, while for Snelling, the knot is secured around the hook’s shank.
The Uni Knot is compatible with both braided and monofilament fishing lines and, with practice, can be tied relatively easily even in low-light conditions. Recent testing conducted by Mack Martin confirmed claims that it preserves around 82% of line strength. When encircling a large eye, it maintains strength well, but when used to connect two lines, similar to other knots involving a line passing around itself, a breaking strain of approximately 75% is more probable.
Through testing the Uni Knot has proven to be among the most reliable knots while using braid. Arguably the strongest knot to secure swivels or direct to hook or lures.
