This is an extraordinarily good demonstration of a highly useful knot, which I just used to attach 30-lb. main-line braid to 30-lb. braid backing. The video portion was very clear and easy to follow, thanks in large part to your using oversized line for the initial part of the demonstration. In addition, your verbal description was simple and delivered at just the right, relatively slow pace-just what I needed.THANK YOU, Chris (Maine, USA)
I've watched tons of 'how to tie knot' videos and this was the first one that I actually got the knot after the first try. Thank you for saving me a maddening headache and a few cuss's :)
I’ve really enjoyed your channel. I’ve never been able to find a braid to braid knot that worked. Either it came untied, was a big clump, or took forever to tie. (I’m cheap and like to add 100 yards of new braid to the existing braid on my baitcasters. But from time to time Tarpon fishing you can have more than 100 yards off the reel) Thanks again! Very helpful and this is easy after seeing you do it.
You are right about thicker line having fewer loops. Yesterday I've managed to tie this knot twice, in two rods. But with many repetitions as the thick braid 40lbs would wrap badly against 23 lbs braid and it would end up with a bad knot. I was doing 10 wraps on both. Thanks you for sharing.
Will it be possible for you to demonstrate a knot that I invented on your channel? It is a braid to braid knot, which doesn't really have any other good uses in my opinion. I like to believe that as a braid to braid knot, it is the best, at least in terms of knot profile and ease of tying. It is a completely new approach to braid to braid tying.
Good question! We haven’t done any surf casting with it. Never failed us when tied correctly. Don’t see why it’s not strong enough. Give it a go and let us know?
Should be good. I need to unspool my reel, tie more backing onto the braid, then respool it because it doesnt fill the reel up. Ive never used braid before and it fits tonnes more onto the reel than expected.
Braid does fill up a lot more. Hence smaller reels getting more popular nowadays. Depending on your fishing and reel size, you may also use mono as the backing. Oftentimes the backing/braid on the inside never sees sunlight if you have 300-400 m/yd of line on there. By using mono that you have lying around, you save some $.
How strong is this knot if you are going to use it against tuna? I have half of my braid cut off while pulling a tuna. Instead of buying a new line and put it, I’m think just getting my old line and put it. But I’m just afraid it will snap again if I going for big fish.
Yes, but we recommend only connecting lines that are new or in good conditions. Used, or worn lines will fail sooner or later. We also use this knot to join our leaders sometimes to lengthen them and it has proven to be strong.
It’s also good practice when trying new knots to test them at home after tying to make sure we’ve tied them correctly. When satisfied, cut and re-tie again a fresh one for use. Good luck!
@@SportFishingAsia thank you so much. Before I used to a single uni knot from a leader to a braid, I lost so many LURES!. So I ended up using swivel. But now, I will try this double uni knot.

It’s so motivating to hear your kind words. I’m happy the video helped you.
Thank you for the knowledge sir. Thought I had enough line on a spool to fill my reel. I thought wrong. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful

Glad you got it sorted. Happy fishing
Good video...and listening to your voice is very relaxing, which is good for me because I get nervous trying new knots. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Very easy to understand. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!
Excellent! Thanks from South Africa.
You’re welcome 👍🏽
Awesome explanation
Thank you

It is a braid to braid knot, which doesn't really have any other good uses in my opinion.

It is a completely new approach to braid to braid tying.
I’m always looking to learn new things. Where can I see that knot? Maybe you can also show how you tie it in your own video?
I will upload a video I made in the past so you can watch it.
Where can I send you a link privately?
(I don't want to publish it on my channel).
I use it all the times best knot ever..great for mono to braid as well.
Thanks! That’s right a good reliable knot.
Thanks, great video
Thank you
Need to know if I can use this knot to attach more braid to a reel that’s not fully spooled
Yes you can. We’ve done that.
@@SportFishingAsia okay thank you 😊
Is this good for 12 Lb braided main line connecting to 30 Lb braided under line? Thy.
Yes it is
Is it double Uni knot ?
Yep
Thank you
You’re welcome. Happy to be sharing tips and adventures.
Is this strong enough for surfcasting?
Good question! We haven’t done any surf casting with it. Never failed us when tied correctly. Don’t see why it’s not strong enough. Give it a go and let us know?
How’s it work I’m going to try it tonight
@@quinney1141 let us know how it goes, and happy fishing!
Sport Fishing Asia got a 43 inch drum on it knot holds good
@@quinney1141 Thanks for sharing, nice one. This is a very strong knot.

Haven’t failed me so far. We fish billfish a lot.

I pulled my line hard and cut my skin
Gotta be careful with braids. They can cut.
Thank you!!
You’re welcome. Cheers.
