This is a very versatile knot. A small loop can be left when fishing with a swimming plug to allow the lure greater action, two Uni knots can be used to join line, or the Uni knot can be formed around the hook shank to quickly snell a hook. If you don't have time to learn any other knot, learn this one.

Step 1 Run the line through the hook eye, allowing 6 or 8 inches of line to form the knot. Form a loop with the tag line end as shown Figure 1.

Step 2 Make 5 or 6 turns with the tag end as shown in Figure 2.  3 - 4 turns would be sufficient when using heavier line.

Step 3 Wet the loose knot and pull the tag end while holding the standing line to tighten the knot as shown in Figure 3.

Step 4 Trim the tag end and the knot will be compact and effective.
