Hi Ivo , can you use a uni knot when you are joining fly line to a tapered leader line ?
Thanks Tony
Hi Tony,
The uni knot is a great knot, but I wouldn’t use it to tie fly line to a tapper leader line. Instead, use the “nail knot”.
Here’s an example, http://www.killroys.com/knots/nail.htm which will not only show you the details, but explains the process as well.
Good luck Tony and thanks for writing in!

I have been using the uni knot for about two years now. It sure beats fumbling around tying a blood knot.Your demonstration is the best I’ve seen so far. Keep up the great work, also you TV show is excellent. That’s how I found out about the T Turn swivels.
Thanks
Jay

Hi Bob,

Is this method used only to tie leaders on line or can I use it to add more line to what I already have?
Basically what I’m asking is can I use the uni-knot to add more line to my reel if I run out? I’m using braid.
Hi Alex,
Yes, you can use the uni-knot to add more line to your existing line on your reel. It is very effective and is a good way for you to “top up” your existing spool of line…good for any line, mono, fluorocarbon, and braid.
Thanks for writing in - good luck and good fishing!
