[nwmike]

I've had a numerous people ask me how to tie a double double uni-knot. I found a video on how to do it. The link for the video is at the bottom of this page.

 

Here is the Link and thank you for watching.

Is this the same knot Shaw Grigsby recommends for fluorocarbon?

[nwmike]

yes,im not sure of the actual name of the knot but was always told it was a double double uni knot when joining two lines together

Nice video, I use a tool that does a nail to nail that I have never once had fail. In fact, I tie all of my custom fly leaders this way and have put many 15lb steelhead on them. This tool allows me to make the connection in under a minute.

 

This way you are doing it is great if youre not in a giant hurry!

That's a back to back Uni.  Unless the line diameters are very similar, they have a tendency to fail for me. I use an Alberto knot, or modified Albright for a better mainline to leader connection.

I have had the same experience but the one way to combat it is either use a different knot or use a few more wraps for the smaller diameter line.

 

I have been using the seguar knot when i use leaders here lately with some good success.

You can also double the smaller braided line with a spider hitch knot.  I just find tying one knot easier and quicker than tying two.

Directions:

1. Look up Uni to Uni knot directions

2. Tie knot

3. Test strength

4. Create workarounds for different line types and/or different line diameters

5. Switch to Alberto knot

6. Never look back

thanks for all the info and informing me of the actual name of the knot.it has been reliable I do agree that more wraps with smaller diameter line is better which is something I should have stated in the video.

That's a nice video and a great knot everyone should know how to tie. The idea about the rods would be good because people are always looking for more information on a expensive piece of equipment like that before they buy it.
