Cheers for the input.

When you describe double threading is that in ref to the finish of the knot?

For me, I refer to double threading as the start of the knot. Before tying the uni, run the leader through the swivel then loop it around and through the swivel again. Then start tying the uni.

Lucas Nixon:
Hey Mark.

Cheers will give it a crack.

Mark Richie:
It doesn't feel right to start with as the mono tries to flex itself straight and ends up all over the swivel but once you've done the twist/loops etc and start to tighten the knot up, it doesn't take much to get the 2 loops sitting perfectly side by side.

Jussi Saarinen:
Tested a whole bunch of knots when I was bored during a vacation a while back using the same line and hooks. Pulled the knots against eachother at least two times. The winner in that test was a double through the eye four turn uni. Later, I have found that different knots suits different lines better but my go to/default knot is still a double through the eye four turn uni knot...

A few years back there was a Youtube clip with the AG chain knot being tested against several other knots. The "problem" was that the AG chain knot was tied on a thicker wire that the other knots which of course is a huge benefit.

Lucas Nixon:
Hi Jussi,

The Four turn uni proves itself again.

Thanks mate.

Lucas.
