My knots work fine and take less than 7 minutes to tie.

I use this knot for just about every "line to line" connection I make. I have never had it fail, although a knot with a slimmer profile for going thru the guides may interest me.jsuber wrote:I use a modified version of this. But instead of a loop, I have my flouro and braid together and tie it just like this and clip off the excess. Its quick.
Mine looks more like this.

I tried the sebile knot last time out and am very impressed with how well it passes through the guides. Too bad I haven't tested it against an actual worthy fish yet. It is definitely worth learning, and several variations can be found on youtube or google.FHC wrote:i use a sebile knot there is no knot in the flurocarbon it is real smooth

A new way to join mono and braid.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF1u8bnwB4Y
What I found very useful is the dowels used to tighten the knots. I made a pair out of 3/4" hardwood dowel and I used a knife to make the groove. I placed the dowel on a board and rolled it with the knife edge while pressing down firmly. This can also be done with a pipe cutter.
Be careful. Test the knot tightening 2 or three times before using it on your fishing rig. It is very easy to over tighten your knots!!!!!!!
This really saves your hands. A simple and effective way to tighten fishing knots.

I like the physics of it though, like a finger trap.
Check out this one, the Double Grinner.
Like the double-uni but different.

This guy does NOT like the double uni. (I think that's what he tied here, somebody correct me.)
