While there are many different types of knots, learning how to tie knots like the double uni knot can come in handy when connecting monofilament or fluorocarbon leader line to braided fishing line. Your two lines don’t need to be of equal diameter, but keep in mind that the connection will be strongest when the two lines are not of dramatically different diameter. You can find other fishing knots and rigs that are better when connecting lines of dramatically different diameter.
Double uni knot strength has been tested at less than 100%, but more than 90%. This level of strength makes it a popular knot with saltwater anglers who often pursue hard-running gamefish species.
