I ordered this to net the algae in a large pond in our backyard. kzfaq.infoUgkxphFK7ETiDP5G4IGsNcg7vbASDp_YfDpI The net is very sturdy and easy to maneuver in the water. The angled edges make it easier to get into the smaller spaces among the rocks. I didn't realize that the front of the net doesn't actually have a frame to it, just the sides do, but it seems to work just fine. The handle extends to various sizes, which is a great feature when I'm in areas that are tight with shrubs at the edges of the pond. I can collapse the handle so it doesn't get stuck in the bushes.

After learning this knot from Brent a few years back, I will not see myself going back to the palomar knot ever again. Palomar knot caused me too many heart aches. Seriously, I have not tied one single palomar knot ever since I learned this knot a few years ago. Wish I would of learned this knot sooner earlier in my fishing career. Would have saved me a ton of money and landing more fish. Great tutorial Brent, you the man!

I tested this knot against the Double Pitzen knot. Three times with mono and three times with Fluro. The Double Line Uni Knot won in all Mono tests and twice in Fluro tests. This is favorite knot now.
@1Mannco Жыл бұрын
Similar to the Double Pitzen with doubling the line thru the eye and wrapping 3 times, pulling tight and ending up with 3 tag ends. I went from the Palomar with flour to the Double Pitzen. I'll go ahead and try this version.

its also worth mentioning to check that the double line gong through the eye of the lure or swivel is not crossed over each other, the two lines going through the eye should be parallel, otherwise you are back to the same problem you had with the palomar. the crossed lines will cinch down on each other and break off

This works amazing for dropshots too, just cut the loop tag and leave the single tag for running through the hook. The extra knot size helps the weight hold your dropshot hook horizontally.

I’ve been using this knot since early winter and my break offs are very rare. I use 15# fluorocarbon and break offs as you said are from nicks or frayed from stumps or rocks. One thing I check frequently is the knot tension if it starts feeling loose on the hook I retie. Also I use five to seven wraps depending on line size.

Thanks for the video! Camera angles allowed for easy visual while you talked through it Question for you: how often do you replace your line. When you do, do you just cut off a few feet at the bottom or do you empty the spool and start clean? Feel like I've had the line snap too many times due to damaged line. But unsure the appropriate frewequency

Everybody and his brothers sisters brother has a "best knot" video or story. I use four knots that can be used going after any fish on the north American continent. They can be used with fluro, mono, braid, whatever. Only one time in almost fifty years of "bass fishin'" along with other fish, only once have I pulled a knot through. It was on 17lb mono. A bass hit literally at the tip of a 6ft heavy action rod. Bent rod double under boat, broke rod in half, pulled uni knot through. The bass, a huge one, got into cypress tree roots and tore topwater crazy shad loose. I paddled over and got it. Still have it, and haven't fished with it even once since that morning. A good knot is a good knot. Except a clinch. Worthless.

Seriously. I set my hook gently, just like I do when fly fishing, unless I am fishing pike. Pike have more bony structure and teeth in their mouths, but bass have pretty soft mouths and if you have sharp hooks, you don't need to be ripping their faces off.

@@S2pidMedia yeah thats why i am wondering why all these people say they break off with the hook set. Also i have watched some videos of americans bass fishing and they set the hook so hard it is not normal when it is a little fish it just goes flying... and then reel as fast as possible to minimalize any sort of fight and then boat flip the fish.. That is so pathetic to me
@S2pidMedia3 жыл бұрын
@@Joost721 I reel my fish in really fast, too. In the summer, the water gets really warm, and sometimes they die from being fought too long. So I pull them in fast, and release them as quickly as possible to minimize the chances of a dead fish. Also, warmer water has less oxygen in it. But if the water is cold, I let them fight because they're not likely to overheat and die.

@frigginthor25803 жыл бұрын
Ok so I have tested the uni and double uni. I've tested the clinch and double clinch. And so far none of them broke above the knot. The uni breaks at the top of the knot the double uni breaks at the first pass through the eye of the hook. And same results with the clinch and double clinch. All were tested with 10lb mono and floro. All had the same results. In the end I have yet to find a knot stronger than the line. And heavy hook sets with floro are just break offs as it's stretch is minimal. Prove me wrong and I will post the results.

So test after test mono 10 and floro 10 I broke off at the eye of the hook. So I tried something fold your line over go through the eye of the hook and tie a 3 twist clinch knot. Once lightly snugged down pull the loop at the bottom first then snug both tag and main then separately first main then tag. Cut off the loop at the bottom and tag from the top. In testing this with 2' of fresh line 3 for 3 broke above the knot under stretch test for both mono and floro 10
