Uni Knot

How to Tie the Uni Knot

1. Pass the line through the hook eye and double back parallel to the standing line.
2. Make a loop by laying the tag end over the doubled line.
3. Wrap the tag end through the loop and around the doubled line 5-6 times.
4. Moisten and pull the tag end to tighten the wraps.
5. Slide the knot down to the hook eye and trim.
