2. , Next, using your free hand make 5 turns of the tag end
around the standing line and bring the end back trough the
loop of the overhand knot which still hasnt been tightened.
Be sure to make 5 turns to guarantee the strength of the
knot.
3. After youve taken the tag end back up under the bend
formed in tying the improved clinch (3), pull both the end
and the standing line simultaneously, being careful to
maintain the desired eye loop size. When you fill that the
overhand knot has tightened completely, keep the standing
line taut while you continue to pull on the tag end. Pull
down into a neat barrel, with the coils gathered neatly. Do
not nick the line with your fingernails!
Why knot?
tie them with yours eyes shut. Ill guarantee that you will
bring in bigger fish and tell fewer stories about the ones
that got away.

1. Run the line through the eye for at least 6 inches. Fold it
back to form a double line and make a circle back toward
the hook or lure with the tag end.
2. Make 6 turns with the tag end around the double line and
trough the circle. Holding the double line at the point when
it passes trough the eye, pull the tag end, as indicated by
arrow, until the six turns are snugged into a tight barrel.
3. . Now grasp the standard part of the line and pull (see
arrow) to slide the knot up against the eye.
4. Continue to pull the standing line until knot is tight. You can
trim the tag end finish with the closest coil of the knot,
because the Uni-Knot doesnt allow line slippage. To tie a
small loop into the eye of a lure or fly, giving it free
movement in the water, tie the same knot, up to the point
where the turns are snugged up around the standing line.
5. Next slide the knot toward the eye of the lure by pulling on
the standing line until the size loop desired is reached. Use
tackles box pliers to hold the knot at this point, pulling the
tag end to maximum tightness.
Under normal casting and retrieving the loop will hold.
Once a fish is hooked, the knot will slide tight against the
eye for better security.
BLOOD KNOT
The best knot we know for tying line to line when the diameters of
the two are the same or nearly so. Makes a strong small joint that
slips through most rod guides easily.
