a little trouble keeping clear which way I was coming with the tag after I

did the first overhand; I had to make sure I was wrapping around the right
part of the line. When I was up in Canada (Atlantic salmon fishing) and
Sam Dempster (a guide on the Hawke River in Canada) showed me the
knot, he said so many people are tying it because it’s easier than the
Clinch Knot. I can’t claim any originality on this, I can only say that it
works. Supposedly, it’s stronger than a clinch, too. Between this, a
Perfection Loop, and a Uni-Knot, and I don’t have to clutter up my mind

with anything else—you can tie just about anything.”
Corbin says he uses the Uni-Knot to join lines of different diameters—a
leader butt to a leader midsection, for example—and he’s had the lighter
line break, possibly from the friction created when tightening the knot.
Corbin shares a tip: joining mono to braided backing (or mono to a

section of braided line), he uses six turns around the braid to complete
the Uni-Knot.
