ONE KNOT To Rule Them All! The Only Fishing Knot You Need To Know

[@temerenpfaffenberger3761]

If you don’t fish a lot it will be fine to just use the uni knot. But there are stronger knots. The uni knot gives you about 80 percent of line strength. For 100 percent line strength you need to tie the following. For fluorocarbon tie a double San Diego jam. For braid tie the double uni knot. For braid to leader tie a FG knot. I have not personally tested knots for monofilament so I don’t know what the best know for it is. That is just from my own personal tests. Good video keep up the work.

Thanks so much for tuning in and the comment @temerenpfaffenberger3761. I definitely agree the uni knot is not the strongest knot out there, but I have to be honest, its a really strong knot that won't fail if the drag is set right... You have a pretty solid list there of awesome knots for strength!! That's awesome you run your own tests! I always love hearing other people's perspectives on stuff, ESPECIALLY if they are testing things on there own (I do the same exact thing.... speaking of tests... did you every tie the uni knot like a trilene knot for increased strength. So, I will actually run the line through the hook or lure twice, like a trilene knot, then tie the uni knot like normal... I find this really increases the strength of the uni knot... Just curious if you have ever tested that way of tying the uni... Great comment!! thanks so much for watching and sharing your perspective... I love talking fishing!!! Thanks again.

@@Johnnyfishalot I have played with it a little bit. I am planning on doing some knot tests with monofilament next and I will be sure to try it out more and let you know what I find out is the strongest. Keep up the good work.

So where's your channel showing how to tie knots? Or are you just here to criticize instead of playing video games?

"Knot" bad at all! Someone had to say it 😂 great video. Such a useful knot. I really do need to add some new knots to my repertoire.

hahahahahaha niceeeeeee.... THat is pretty much a dad joke... Love it. THanks again.

[@DavePeterson-l7v]

Perfect. Thanks for sharing .i like easy .

[@Johnnyfishalot]

Thanks so much for the nice comment and for tuning in!! I figure will all the confusion and nonsense out there, its good to just get back to easy and effective!! The Universal Knot is definitely a great fit for most people out there in my opinion! Thanks again for watching!

I pull the spool on my bait casters out the side and pass the line through the winding guide and out the side. Then I tie the line on the spool as you show and re-seat the spool. If the line has a large diameter and the hole for the spool is tight, you may have to wiggle it thru a bit. I find the double-uni tends to catch on microguides. I prefer the blood-knot.

[@Johnnyfishalot]

That is a great shout @nnamrehck, to be honest that is an easier way to tie the spool, but for (maybe just being lazy) I just find it easier to wrap it twice than remove the spool haha, but yeah removing the spool would def work exactly the same as a spinning reel spool ... Yeah the uni is thin in diameter, but will catch on micro guides. I find the thinnest and most strongest knot (especially for micro guides) is the FG knot, but if the blood knot is working for you, I'd stick with that... ;) Thanks so much for tuning in and the awesome thoughtful comment. Really appreciate it! Have a great weekend.

A spool is not a reel, but every reel has a spool!

[@Johnnyfishalot]

haha Thanks Frank... its tough to film, instruct, get knots in frame and not mispronounce things all at the same time. Not sure what part I messed up there, but yes spools are what you buy with the line on them and spools are also on your reels where the line goes. Thanks.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I use the uniknot for tying on hooks for bait. But for jigs or hard plastic lures I use a loop knot. The loop is good for the lure's action. And for tying mono leader to braid I use another knot, modified Albright I believe it's called. That's all the knots I need.

[@Johnnyfishalot]

Hey @comfortablynumb9342, yeah sounds good... sounds like you got your basis covered. I will say, I do not like the non slip loop knot if that is the fishing knot you are tying... I prefer the figure of 8 loop knot for my lures. I'm also not sure if a loop knot offers any more action on a jig head than a correctly tied Palomar knot or even a Palomar knot tied to a fishing clip or fisherman's clip... But, its all a matter of preference in the end. Have you noticed a considerable difference in your lures action or your fish you've caught using a loop knot vs a fishing clip or knot directly to your lure??

[@MarkasTZM]

Palomar is the one that does it all. Grow up. Or, just read.

[@bigrich6750]

How do you tie leader to line with palomar? Palomar is great for terminal tackle but uni to uni is one of the best ways to go flouro to braid. I’m sure someone will say there’s something better but uni to uni is pretty good.

[@Johnnyfishalot]

yeah I'm not sure I understand your comment (or the anger behind you comment)... The Palomar knot does not do all the things I explained in the video. If you watched the video, the Palomar is great for tying straight onto lures or terminal tackle, the universal knot is good at literally all your inshore fishing needs. Thanks for watching....

[@Johnnyfishalot]

yeah couldn't agree more... Palomar is not great for doing everything...

[@bigrich6750]

@@Johnnyfishalot I was speaking to the, Palomar does it all, guy. Anyone who’s fished a while, knows the palomar doesn’t do it all. I wasn’t claiming that you said that. I appreciate your videos. Thanks for making them.
