There are a few things to consider when attempting to tie a double uni, the most significant of which is the diameter differential between braid and leader. We all know how strong and reliable the single uni knot is when used to tie on a hook or connect mainline to a swivel, and this reliability is maintained when there are two uni’s forming a braid to mono connection. It’s a simple process that takes just minutes to learn and master. However, the double uni offers a broad spectrum of applications and is ideal from lines from ultra light up to around 15kg.Īs its name suggests, the double uni consists of two uni knots that are formed and then brought together from opposite directions until they meet and lock. I should point out here that some of the more complex braid to mono knots, such as the FG and Slim Beauty, are undoubtedly better suited to some gamefishing situations and heavy line. There are several knots to choose from and some are definitely better than others, but one stands alone for ease of tying and all round reliability – the back-to-back or double uni knot. Incorporating a length of nylon or fluorocarbon leader into your fishing system will provide several advantages, such as adding a small amount of stretch, improving abrasion resistance at the business end and separating the highly visible braid from lure or hook.
Anyone fishing with braid and not using swivels or other connectors really needs to know at least one reliable joining knot.
We’re regularly asked technical questions by our readers and Facebook friends, and one of the most common queries is how best to join braided line to monofilament leader.
