How To Tie A Uni Knot

  

You've been fly fishing for a while now and the time has come to learn a new knot – the uni knot. For many anglers this is an essential knot that should be mastered as it's used in almost every freshwater scenario all over the world. It's particularly helpful if correctly tied correctly for tying together monofilament or braided line leader material to the fly line with a loop-to-loop connection.

This loop is created when you tie in the second line, which allows for quick changes of leaders without having to cut and retie each time you want to change between different types of leader (e.g., tapered, furled or level). It's a bit difficult to describe with words alone so check out these step-by-step photos for a visual of the process.

THE KNOT



1. Directly after tying on your fly, pull about 20cm or 8 inches of line through the first loop and then double it back against itself, leaving a small gap between them as shown.

2. Now, take the doubled line and make 5 or 6 turns around your index finger, making sure that the turns are tight and close together.

3. Pass the tag end of the line (the end opposite the fly) through the small loop you created in step 1, and then hold on to it with your thumb and forefinger.

4. Carefully ease the wraps off your finger, making sure that the turns stay in place, and then give the tag end a sharp tug to tighten the knot. You may also want to clip off any excess line.

And there you have it! Your very own uni knot, which is strong and reliable. You can also attach leader material to the fly line by snipping the tag end of the uni knot and stripping off about 5 inches of mono or braid before tying on your new leader with a blood knot (a super strong double overhand knot).

As mentioned, this is an essential knot that should not be overlooked as a crucial part of a fisherman's kit. If not done properly, the knot will simply not hold so take your time and practice – you'll be tying uni knots like a pro in no time!

Perfect Bait For Kingfish

Hình ảnh
  There are many kinds of fish in the world. However, there are only two kinds who hold their tail upright while swimming through the ocean. They're called "Kingfish" and "Queenfish". Of course, they're not really royalty. Nor do they fight each other with crowns and scepters. The only thing that distinguishes the two are their tails. Kingfish have round tails while Queenfish have flat ones. You'll know this just by looking at them, but there's also an easier way to tell them apart. Look for "the spot". Kingfishes are dark on the bottom, so they have a bright spot on their backs. The Queenfish doesn't. This is where the "perfect bait" comes in. If you use a live fish as bait and let it swim around the ocean, it will naturally move its tail up and down as if swimming. But if it's a Kingfish following your boat, its tail will point up. If it's a Queenfish, it'll point down. This is the one and only way to tell them ...
