The Uni-Knot: One Fine Alternative
The uni-knot is a knot system encompassing several variations, all of which secure different portions of your rigging. The basic uni-knot is an excellent option for tethering mono or superline to terminal tackle.

1. Insert the tag end through the eye. Double the line and form a loop with the tag end toward the hook eye.

2. Wrap the tag end around the doubled line through the loop 6 times for light monofilament, 3 to 5 times for heavy mono, and 3 times for superlines.

3a. Grip the tag end, pulling slowly to draw the knot up semi-tight. Moisten the line, pulling gradually on the mainline to snug the knot tight against the eye.

3b. To leave a loop, grip the tag end firmly with pliers, tightening the knot down in place.This option works well with straight-eye circle hooks.
