“The most effective knot is the double UNI.
“The most effective knot is the double UNI. It is very reliable and can be easily tied. I like to teach the easy ways to tie this knot. Let me explain the Double UNI.”
What do you recommend for tying on a lure?
“I like to start this knot before putting the lure on. This is the loop knot I use before all my fishing. It is called The Canoeman Loop.”
Step 1
Run the tag end of the line through the eye of the hook. In the standing line make two backward loops as shown in the drawing. The standing line goes behind the tag end line.

Step 2
The second loop goes through the front of the first loop.

Step 3
The tag end then goes through the front of the second loop and bring the tag end of the line down to the side of the lure.

Step 4
While holding the tag end of the leader and the lure stationary pull on the end of the line going to the rod.
