Knot to join 2 different lines

[Old_Coot]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850]I agree with AFDan52 and kentofnsl. I too prefer to connect dis-similar lines useing the Double-Uni knot (also known as the Uni-to-Uni or Back-to-Back Uni knot). It gets it reputation from being a great knot for connecting two dis-similar lines ... dis-similar in size or type.

Used to join two lines together, fireline to lead core, braded to florocarbon, super lines to mono.[/#002850][/size][/font]

1. Lay the two lines side by side with twelve inches overlapping. Form a Uni knot type of circle on the first line

2. Wrap the first line around the second seven to ten times, through the loop of course. Wrap around the line less for heavier lines.


3. Pull the tag to engage enough tension to close and hold the wraps in place, not too tight.


4. Create another Uni knot on the second line, just like before.


5. Pull the main lines apart to butt the knots against one another. To tighten harder, pull the tag ends firmly. Clip as you like.
