How to Tie a Uni Knot: Easy, Strong & Reliable Fishing Knot

Jeff Weakley, editor of Florida Sportsman Magazine, breaks down the easiest way to tie one of the most versatile, strong and reliable fishing knots that every fisherman needs to know, the uni knot. This knot is also called the Duncan loop, named after Norman Duncan who created the knot originally in the early 1960s. The knot was later coined the uni knot and popularized by Florida Sportsman's own Vic Dunaway. Whether you are tying your line to a hook, lure, line to leader, or even line to reel, the uni knot is one of the best fishing knots for beginners and experts alike because of its universal usage in almost any fishing application and environment.
