Uni Knot

The Uni Knot is good and dependable. It’s a good viable option to tie Monofiliment fishing line to leaders or hooks. I personally find it easier to tie than the Improved Clinch Knot and it’s got the same reliability.

Before tying your fishing knot you take these steps to increase strength:

Get the Uni knot wet with water or spit before fully tightening.
Get the Uni knot as tight as possible.
Trim the excess end off the fishing line.

Palomar Knot

The Palomar Knot is as close to it gets to 100% strength when it’s tied correctly. It’s also the absolute best solution for tying braided fishing line. When tying this knot you must make sure that the hook is passed up and through the loop. This is the way to get everything to cinch up tightly together. It can be a very weak knot when tied incorrectly.

Improved Clinch Knot

The Improved Clinch knot has been around for a very, very long time. It’s one of the most common knots to use on monofilament fishing line. Very quick and fairly easy to remember. Mono line is not recommended on braided fishing line or anything greater than 25 lbs test.
