Double Uni Knot
How to Tie Braid to Mono
hello everybody this is FishThatWontQuit.
today I want to show you how to tie a monofilament to braid directly without having
to use a swivel basically, what you are going to use is a
uni knot, and it is actually a really easy knot, once you get the hang of it.
and lets get started basically, you have your monofilament on the
bottom here, and the braid on the top, this is actual a 15-pound mono, and a 50lb
braid. just to give you a spec on what I am working with here
so basically, you line them up just the way you see here, and you get to choose what
line you would like to start with first.
I start with braid first, so.
keep this mono straight on the bottom there, and then grab your braid.
and what you want to do is basically loop it under and line it up just like this.
so basically, you made this loop here and this passes right over both lines
and what you will essentially do is take this tag end and wrap it behind both the
monofilament and the braid, through this loop and around and around and around.
There is no set amount of times you have to do it,
so I am going to do 5 wraps for this demonstration.
I am going to grab this and grab all this
stuff just to get it in my hands.
and then theres that loop still
and I will go with 1, right between there as you see,
2,3,4 and 5
alright so now what you have is tag end wrapped around both line through that loop you
created with the little tag end on the end here
and what you want to do is typically moisten up the loops you made so it cinches nice
and easily.
Grab that tag end, pull it all together, until it gets a snug knot on that braid.
Now that you have that, you still have your mono on the other side here, and you will
do the same exact thing on this side.
so, make that loop, got my loop and tag end,
going to wrap it around both that braid and mono through the loop.
we will do 5 times on this side so, 1,2, 3
4, lets go with 4. And now, same exact thing.
you will pull that tag end, have the mono do its loops on this side.
and dont forget to moisten up to make this slide better.
alright, sorry its hard to see, but that mono right there is bunched up like the braid
on the other side.
now you will want to take your braid, the main part, and your mono side, the main part.
and pull them together.
both those knots you created are going to go towards each other and they will block
each other.
now you have tag ends to cut off.
