Knots and rigs
Uni knot for tying on hooks
Uni knots are useful for tying small hooks, rings or swivels on to light lines, a frequent requirement
in freshwater fishing, because the knot may be formed some distance from the hook and slid into
place when formed.

1. Thread the line through the eye of the hook, ring or swivel, and encircle the main line with the
tag to form the configuration shown. 2. Wrap the tag around both the returning tag and main line,
but inside the encircling loop made by the tag. 3. Make four to six wraps in this manner. 4. Moisten
and tighten the knot using gentle pressure on the tag. 5. Slide the knot gently down on to the eye
of the hook, ring or swivel.
Uni knot for tying line on to your reel
First wrap the line around the spool
of your reel, at least once, then tie a
standard uni knot with four wraps. Then
slide the knot down on to the spool of
your reel.
