Uses: The Uni Knot is a versatile knot which can be adapted to many
purposes including snelling; connecting hooks, swivels and lures with a
loop; and joining two lines.
Tying it: The version shown here is tied to an eye. When joining two lines, each knot is made round the other standing end. Advantages: It is fairly easy to tie in the dark with practice. Claims that it retains a high proportion of line strength have been disputed. When tied round a large diameter eye, it may retain strength well, but if used to join two lines, like other knots where a line passes round itself, a breaking strain of 50% of ideal performance is more likely. |

Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.
