Double uni knot
Joining two lines: braid to a fluorocarbon leader, main line to a shock leader, or tippet to a fly leader.
Step by step
- Overlap the two line ends by about 20 cm, pointing in opposite directions.
- With one end, tie a uni knot around the other line: 5–6 wraps for nylon / fluorocarbon, 8–10 for braid.
- Do the same with the other end around the first line.
- Wet both knots and pull each end to tighten them.
- Pull the two main lines apart so the knots slide together, then trim both ends.
Tip: Braid is slippery, so always give the braid side of the knot more wraps.
