Adam F Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Woops! Just read all the posts and have overstepped myself!, sorry! Didnt know that was a grinner though...I have ALWAYS been taught that the 'Uni-knot' is how you tie them, and that a Uni and a Grinner are one and the same. Where is the source for the knots bob?

duncan Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I too struggle to understnad how the knots differ when finished as the initial twists surely pull out? however I do find that these twists help the knot pull up better. For connecting braid I tie it (1) with a round turn and (2) using a doubled over line - ie. in a loop on the end of the line. I got a lot of failures at swivels before this addition.

Bob F Posted November 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Adam, The Grinner and Uni are two different knots if you look closely. But to confuse things, there is also a knot called the Uni-Grinner. I get the knots from various places on the web, but this site has most. http://www.marinews.com/fishing/fk_main.htm BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
