Randy you are a gem of a man and remind me of my dear departed Dad. God love you. It’s a Double Pitzen knot, and I respect that you continue to call it what the guy that showed it to you called it. Well done sir. Personally I prefer the Trilene knot for a number of reasons. A large percentage of fishing is confidence, so every angler should find the knot(s) that they have confidence in. Live your best life my friends!
Single uni has never failed me and I can tie it in a few seconds...💯
I agree
Hi Randy, that’s one the best demos I’ve seen for that knot ! Who cares what it’s called. If that’s what Aaron and you call it, so be it ! Thanks Randy !
I do.
I started using this knot 3-4 years ago from watching Deny Brauer tie it...this knot is amazingly strong & easy to tie! I have a hard hookset and kept breaking my palomar knot, so this saved me alot of headaches! Thanks!
I've been using the single Uni-knot since the early 80's. It's been my go-to knot for everything. Seen this knot before, but haven't tried it. Thanks for sharing.
I've been using this knot for a while now, and it is the best knot ever. I learned how to tie it from a video you aired a while back. I simply call it the A-Mart knot, and it's absolutely the best knot out there for fluorocarbon line.
I started doing that knot after seeing your vid about a year ago. You are a 100 percent on this. Even I learned it quick. Thanks
It’s double Pitzen knot. Absolutely love it. Never failed for years for me
Double Uni knot is similar to this and is an improvement of this , because it doesn’t require the hook to be weighted to tie it.
What the fuck is a pitzen?
No it's not it's a single sandy knot
Yes, that is a very good knot for Florocarbon since it doesn't cut into itself. I tie a similar knot, the San Diego Jam, which is a modified Uniknot... use a Palomar knot for everything else.
Thanks for sharing
Randy is the bass Pro shop casting world champ !
I'm am changing my knot immediately :)...thank U Randy!
Thanks for sharing. I have been using the Palomar knot for many years and I don’t think it has failed me yet. I’ll have to try this one… it’s nice not to have to pull the lure through the loop, which can sometimes be tricky depending on the lure.
Why try anything when you original knot has never failed. Does waste lots of tag end but many do.
Hey Randy, I totally agree with you. I’ve been using your knot for about two years now and it is without a doubt the strongest knot in BassFishin and Roland Martin agrees with you. I have seen him tie it too! So I’m officially calling this knot THE BLAUKAT KNOT sounds good doesn’t it thanks Randy love your videos!
Same knot I've been using. Yes, I do call it the double pitzen, it actually makes breaking snags off incredibly difficult.
The double pitzen is actually like a doubled San Diego jam. This one doesn't go through the bottom eye of the line, but yeah, same idea.
Thank you for this video. I will give this knot a try.
Every knot tied right will work. I've done testing in a lab with tensile and friction testing. The palomar is as strong as any out there. It's all about how you tie it and if the loops lay flat along the main line and the eye. If it's tied correctly....it will not fail any more than any other knot.
Thanks fot the great video! I've been using braid only for years and the palamore has been my goto knot. This year I decided to try using floro on a one of my rods as well as using it as a leader line. I had watched several videos on how to tie florocarbon and your video made it easy for me to understand and successfully tie the knot. One reel spooled up with the FC as well as making a couple of quick change lures/hooks, on premade leaders. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Randy. Made it easy to follow.
I kept breaking off on hooksets with a Carolina rig and Texas rigs using improved clinch knots and I came across this Double Pitzen on another fishing channel. Haven’t broken off since switching to it. It truly is the real deal. Amazing knot strength.
Randy thank you for the video! I've been fishing fluorocarbon regularly now for the past year and having issues with my knots failing! I definitely will be using this knot going forward and it looks like an easy knot to tie!
Jimmy Houston showed my how to tie this knot over 20 years ago. Been using it every since!
This right here is the difference between teaching something, and putting on a clinic of your abilities (which is an all-out, f@#king epidemic on TH-cam). How many cameras you have, and their angle is pointless if the person doesn't know how to relay information. Some of these guys are genuine guys who just don't have a clue as to how their video is coming across, because they have an over-head camera setup. And, that's all you need to call yourself a "teacher" by today's standards. Randy did this so well, I didn't even need the sound on my PC. Thanks for sharing this Randy!
Thanks for sharing, def seems strong due to all the layers of line!
Awesome! I just learned! I've Been tying like half a jam knot for years...Until now! Great vid 👌 👍
Once Again Randy, thanks....
I use this knot all the time. Very strong and durable. I call it a triple tag knot but I have also heard Aaron say it years ago it is a double uni. Actually I'm pretty sure Aaron had a video on this particular knot somewhere. That is how I learned to tie it.
Thats the only knot I ever use and it has never failed ever, I really like it.
I have used this knot since the last video you made on it and it has performed flawlessly never break a knot like I used to with the polomar
I've had great success with 8 pound flouro, 12lb, 20lb but in the past week I've had my 10lb seaguar blue label leader break at the hookset 3 times. Until this recent run it had literally never happened to me. It's tied to 10lb braid with a 7 ft medium moderate. So I've some to the conclusion it has to be the knot. Perfect timing Randy I'm gonna give this thing a try.
I started tying this knot with all of my flouro last year after breaking off numerous times on hook sets as well...haven't broke on a hook set since. Great knot, and easy. It does use a bit more line with the three tag ends which makes me go through more leader though but I guess that's the price to pay for landing more fish.
Great video Randy, I love the art of knots in general! Shaw Grigsby calls it a double pitzen and the G man (your fav😂) calls it the double shindo, I call it a damn good knot! I’ve started using the San Diego jam knot which is the same but 1 more step and it’s knot (😉) let me down yet 🎣
Been tying the same knot for over a decade now(don’t know the real name). Just saw a really detailed video a guy did comparing it to others, very well done and confirmed my feelings. Best of all it’s super easy, I believe it’s the same knot you showed. My point being that anything over 3 wraps doesn’t help, and actually makes it’s too big. I also pull on both sides of the tag end and re-pull on the main line and tag before I cut. Works great on co poly, but not for braid.
Double pitzen
Looks strong, just never had a issue with Palomar and don’t see a reason to change. But again looks extremely solid
This is also a good knot. Appreciate the video.
Thanks Randy world Champ Hero !
The same knot I use! Facts!!!
It's called the Double Shindo, or the Jimmy Houston knot. Absolutely love this knot for fluro
I use to use the Palomar exclusively until I was introduced to the Pitzin knot. Thanks for sharing Randy.
Good knot!! Started using it about 5 years ago
I don't like the three tags pointing back at me for bottom or grass fishing. Seems like I'm constantly picking gunk from it. Any suggestions>?
Miller Knot.
Agree, the Miller knot is great and I use on all line types. One tag that you can tuck back thru the eye.
That is the exact same knot I tie on my lures. Strong is an understatement. I was fishing from the bank and got my Chatterbait hung up. I had 15lb fluorocarbon spooled on my reel. I couldn’t get my Chatterbait free so I decided to tighten the drag and start walking backwards. Finally, “something” came loose and it wasn’t my Chatterbait and the line didn’t break either. It was the wire clip that I tied this knot to. It got bent straight and the knot held fast!! I’m loving this knot. Gotta order another Chatterbait to replace my lost one though. 😁
I’ve been tying the improved clinch knot since daddy taught me 45 years ago. Never had a problem. I even use it on braid for frog fishing. Never lost a frog.
Yup, improved modified clinch knot and I’ve yet to lose a lure or fish. Although I’m on an area where there’s no 10# so there’s that
Same here. 30 years. In fact I’ll bet 95% of all Bass fishermen tie the ICK. The only ones who don’t are the weekend warriors with the $600 setups because it’s not “sophisticated” enough for them. 😂
@@trapin68 my fishing partner is 74, been fishing since he was a kid, but he doesn’t use the clinch. Not sure what it is, but somebody else showed it to him a few years ago. Lot more complicated than a clinch. I’ll never change. Why start a new knot that’s no better, and requires cutting off a foot of tag?
@@vstorm1279 well, I’ve caught lots of 5-6’s out of grass, wood, and never lost one, unless he throws the hook. All these different knots are a waste of time. Plus, these guys are having to cut off a foot of tag end. I don’t have a tag end to cut with the clinch.
Great video. Going to give it a try for sure. What I would like to see is an in-depth video of the FG knot. I lose sleep trying to tie it.,
I saw you show this knot a long time ago, year n half or so maybe longer? I've used nothing but this on all my floro sense & it's worked great. I've had no need to learn any other knots for floro because it works so well. Use it on everything from my big swimbaits to finness & light line. I can tie it without
looking in a few seconds. Quick & super strong. If Aaron Martens called it a double unit then that's more than good enough for me!
Weed Collector Knot. I don’t tie this knot as the orientation of each of the 3 tag ends causes these tags to collect weeds during the lure retrieve. Knot strength doesn’t matter if there are no fish biting a lure covered in weeds. I do prefer a knot where the line is doubled through the hook eye but which has a single tag pointing away from the rod tip and toward the lure. Matt Stefan describes this preferred knot in one of his videos. Thanks, Randy.
I lost my pb or at least had to be very close to my pb because of knot failure with fluorocarbon at the time I was using the Paloma knot. Since then I have been using the knot you just taught in this video. And I’ve knot ever had an issue with it. And he is absolutely right it gets easier and easier every year. The heaviest line I use is 17 flouro and I have yet to have a knot fail with this knot.
I've been using this knot for a couple of years now. Easy to tie, have not had any failures.
I broke off 3 fish the other day on the set. Looks like it's time to try this one! Thanks for sharing!
Great knot!! Whatever name you want to call it!!! Been using it for some time now and love it!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
funny you go four times I started crying at when I was a kid around twice we called it the Crawford figure 8 fishing facts magazine. then g man showed me doubled on his show. either way it's a great knot .
Hey Randy I know you said not to get hung up on the name but I just had to jump in with the person who invented that knot. Jimmy Houston was the inventor of the knot and the name of coarse is the Jimmy Houston Knot. Just thought you might appreciate the origin and the name.
Whatever it is, I call it Aaron’s knot from now on. It’s the only knot I use. Thanks, Randy.
What about the single uni? Used it for years now, and I have literally pulled my bass boat, as in pulled myself over to get a snag off. The single uni seems easier to tie and very very tough.
I've seen Aaron tie this but didn't know what he called it. Then I saw Tyler Berger tie it and he called it the Double Pitzen. All I know is it's one strong knot!!!
You are right, this is not a double uni, double uni is to connect leader to main line. This is a double pitzen knot. I do use this sometimes. However, the Palomar knot is good for fluro if you make sure your line do not cross through the eyelet and the loop that goes over the bait/hook is flipped up. Once you do this, the line will not cut into itself. Great video though.
Greatest flouro knot ever!!! I know it as the Jimmy Houston knot. Been using it for about a year now. It is irreplaceable!!!
UNI and UNI TO UNI for tying two lines together. Only knot I need I can tie it blind at night on the jetty .l have caught many tuna on this knot and it’s easy .
I'll have to try that knot out on my String King mini spinnerbait. I lost a big one this past week on it when i set the hook using a Palomar knot on 6# copolymer line. I moved up to 14# flouro thinking it was the 6# being too light or the copolymer being not as good but it's possible it was the knot all though i think it's possible it was a turtle since the knot was pretty clean and didn't have a curly tail.
I've always thought that a double uni knot is for tying line to line. So I'd call that knot you tied the doubled uni. But like you said, the name doesn't matter.
I only ever bought one spool of fluoro leader line. Hated it. I use mono to make leaders. The Salt Strong guys did a few tests and mono is more abrasion resistant.
That is…. Uni to uni. and a double Uni is a single UNI not with doubled line against the hook eye. The knot he is tying now is the double Pitzen!
I tried Fluorocarbon first time last year had one BIG fish break off at the hook set and one luer break off at the cast using my beloved Polymer within days of each other evidence told me my knot failed both times
Then used a Trilene knot for a while till I discovered the Double Pitzen
Been using that for Fluorocarbon ever since no break offs
I like that knot, as I watch you tie it I think it ends up being an improved clinch knot only with the line doubled. To me that’s easier to tie than a Palomar. Thanks!
Perfect, I use the improved cinch, but I have had it fail with fluoro, never with braid or mono
Then I guarantee you’re not tying it right.
I have tied the Uni knot since I was 10, I am now 70. Have caught up to 40 lb. Tuna on it with out failure. Started tying what I call the double double uni knot after I saw a U Tube video where the guy had on gloves on and couldn’t break 30 lb. test. It’s tied like a single strand Uni. Tyler Berger on his channel 5:32 said he had the same break off problems you had. Showed the same knot as the Double Pitzen.
Hey Randy, can u show us how u fillet a bass? Thanks
I agree. Palomar sucks with fluoro. Burns line badly the way it tightens, making it brittle. I use a single- or double- uni all day.
This knot is called the double Pitzen knot. It’s very strong, but the double San Diego Jam knot (a very similar knot) tests a little stronger. Both are also closely related to the Berkley Braid knot. I have tutorials for all 3 on my channel 🙂
I will have to try this one and if that's what Aaron called it then that works for me!!
Randy what kind of swivel would you recommend
Been using this knot for a few trips now and it’s really better than a Palomar knot for using fluoro line
Randy , you are wrapping toward the bait and Aaron wrapped away from the bait. "See Aaron's double uni video". Whether it makes a difference, I don't know. I believe and call this knot I learned from another of Aaron's videos is the "doubleD" uni knot. the d on the end just got dropped somehow. That s boring and doesn't matter but it's worth your time to learn it. I love the knot and miss Aaron.
What do you use for a drop shot?
Randy - I have seen this knot demonstrated by Shaw Grigsby and others that only show 3 wraps before going up thru the upper loop. Do you think it’s necessary to make 4 or 5 wraps? It makes the knot bigger
Years ago, I learned this on one of Aaron's videos.. rip.. I think he was saying it was also a synch also. I like it for jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, cause the mainline points away from lure. Strong strong, used it forever catching giant smallmouth.
I have been using the palamor for 35 years. It's a great knot but it has one issue. If you get in a hurry and the loop stays on top when you cinch it down it will cut your line. Heavier flouro is prone to causing this. I have never broke off in the knot when tied correctly with any line.
Do you ever use a loop knot. I have success with it when using Ned rigs and top water
I am one of your subscribers and a video editor and was noticing how hard it was to see the line and knot when you wore a yellow t-shirt maybe next time when you show a new knot a black t'-shirt would make it easier to see, thanks for all the tips and information on bass fishing, really appreciate the videos Randy.
Any way to to a similar knot with the tags facing downward? Hate when tag lines grab a bunch of muck on the retrieve.
Love you to death .Mr randy , all you guys trip me out with these titles yaw throw out there, I guess whatever works huh? Lol
San Diego jam knot is the only Fluor and mono knot I use. Similar principle. Keeps the fluor from burning threw itself.
That is the double pitzen knot. And if time is a factor, I'll tie the single pitzen, wrapping it 7 times instead of 4. Both knots are incredible for fluorocarbon. I only use the palomar for braid.
Couldn’t agree more
You are correct Randy! This is not a double uni knot. I tie it a bit differently but know it as a flourocarbon carbon knot. It is the best!
I've been trying this knot for about 8 years. I've never had it fail.
Imma call this the "AMRB Over Dinner knot." I broke off a big one on Havasu, that cost more than a couple of places overall. I've been looking for a better knot than the Palomar for my Floro.
I watch all your stuff Randy. Usually over dinner......
I use the same knot . The only issue I have is my leader knot breaks before my lure and i have to re tie the leader and new lure when i get snagged
I agree it’s what I use. I’ve known it as the double Pitzen.
Double pitzen. Aaron threw me for a loop too with the dbl uni.
Yep that’s what I know it as also
Also Zona’s “shark knot” which is a little more difficult but has the tag ends pointing the opposite direction which is good in grass.
I've not had a problem with the single uni knot since I started putting the line through the eye of the jig twice.
Double Pitzen but like you said, call it what you want. If you feed the line through the loop at the eye, then the loop on top, you have a Double San Diego Jam, a knot that has a very, very strong breaking point.
I used to always tie the Palomar knot until I got in a bad car accident which left me with a paralyzed left arm. With 2 arms I considered the Palomar knot to be stuck an easy and quick knot to tie. Now with one arm I pretty it's so hard for me to tie, especially with fluorocarbon it's next to impossible 😔
? Do I turn the vacuum cleaner on before or after I go through the loop. Lol jus piking
Same knot I use. Never had it break.
I always knew it as the San Diego Jam knot, but it works no matter what it's called
It works great for mono too, I mostly use straight floro or mono. it's the knot I use 99.99% of time, except on drop shots.
Coming from Aaron, it's gotta be LEGIT!!
Wow,I do it on my first try
I don’t get why people are shying away from a Palomar. Just yesterday, I hung a wobble-head on brand new 14 lb Sunline Sniper. I not only couldn’t break it, I DRAGGED my ANCHORED kayak (with a 15 lb homemade heavy current anchor), after having to wrap the line around my paddle four times because I was pulling so hard, it began cutting into my palm!! I was putting an easy 50 lbs of force on that line and knot, if not more. I’m in a Hobie PA 12 kayak too, by the way. I finally had to get over the bait amd drop a plug knocker down. After 40+ years of tying this knot, I have had TWO failures, and I fish 4 days a week, EVERY WEEK. You guys can go for the hype, (from the man who supposedly hates hype most), I’ll keep on with the Polumar for direct lure tying with floro.
This knot is superior to the palomar. It’s not hype.
.. Most Palomer Knots fail when the line is not lubricated when tightening ,, the line "burns" and looses much of it's strength ... and need to be sure doubled line does not cross or lay over the cut on the hook eye .. will break on hookset ...
Tied the Palomar knot for 30 years and MAYBE break off once a year. I'll stick with that.
Same
Palomar isnt ideal for florocarbon
@@evanhandelong7685 30 years of experience says it is.
Your knot is gonna break on the biggest fish on your life when you can just learn how to tie this really easy knot that won't break.
@@elijahreyes4696 Hmmmm....Two 12+ lb fish says otherwise.
I use the Palomar knot most times and, the only time it has broken off is when I get caught on structure and I break the line off. I've never broken off a hook in a fish's mouth and gotten back just the line.
Mr Randy, does it work with mono?
It works with mono. It's the only knot I trust for my high dollar glide baits etc.
@@christopher9076 Awesome thanks for the reply gonna try it out
