@TylerBergerFishing keep trying go for your dream brother in bassmaster classic. Work hard relax and enjoy. Learn as much as you can you will get it. One day your name will be on fishing gear 😊❤
Indeed❤😊
I've used this knot for many years without knowing its exact name. I can absolutely confirm this knot is super strong, I use it specifically for direct braid connections to frogs and jigs. The initial double loop really helps prevent any slippage, especially with slicker braids.
Used this knot for yrs. When I was younger I also ran the line twice through the eye tying the fisherman’s knot or clinch knot. I always liked my lines doubled through the eye.
Glad you like this knot. 👍👍
I absolutely love your channel. You got me to tie and break every knot. Different lines do need different knots. I double the line and tie this knot on my 3 way swivels for 100 lb. Blue cats. With 80 lb. 8 strand braid. I use 50 lb.mono as the leader,with a no knot snell 10 wraps. I use a loop knot on the mono to hook my swivel snap. When I snag ,95 per cent of the time. My no knot snell breaks at the bottom wrap. Ive not broken a fish off since I started using this. Happy tight lines.
Looks good!!! Thanks for the great tip!!! Will give it a try!!! Seems simple to tie!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
I’ve been using this knot with braid for decades! I had no idea it was a thing, or had a name. I’ve had hooks and traces break on me before this knot has. In fact, I can’t remember a single time when it’s let me down.
This takes out one of the biggest possible failure points in landing a fish, which is worth a lot ! As others have said, this channel is a very welcome addition to your other awesome channel, and good luck to you Tyler !
Thanks for that! I've been looking for an alternative to the Palomar for my punch rigs/frog gear. Great info as usual. Keep up the good work 💯.
Thank you so doing this. It will help everyone. I appreciate you 😊
100% agree with your test, I’ve been tying that knot since braided line hit the market and have never had it to fail.
Excellent! My favorite part? I already do this type of know EXCEPT for the double loop, so it's very easy for me to learn! Thanks!
This is the 3rd video I’ve watched for the same knot, but this one actually made the most sense. So nice work and thank you! The breaking test clip made me a believer. 🎣
Thanks for the awesome content
Ill definitely give that knot a try
FWIW I have been using the Polymer knot on braided like starting WAAAAAY back in the 1990's using Berkeley Fireline and now with my favorite and only braid Power Pro and I do not recall EVER having a Polymer knot fail me while using braid and I have fished using braided line every time I fished for nearly 30 years.
Straightened and broke many many stuck hooks using braid pulling loose hooks stuck in wood or rocks but do not recall ever braking off at my knot using braided line and a Polymer knot
Thanks Tyler, can't wait to try it (I usually go Palomar only but this looks really good)
I used this knot before with braid. Glad know I was making a good choice!
I agree on most lines. I bought a 50 lb.reaction tackle line. This knot breaks in the knot. Where as the modified clinch knot holds true and the line itself breaks away from the knot. Always experiment with knots at home and not with a big fish. But,thanks for the insight. Happy tight lines.
Great video Tyler and I have been watching your channel for the past couple of years and I subscribed to this channel as it is denitely straight to the point and really good information. I have been using the uni knot for decades and the double uni ever since I got back into fishing a few years ago and will definitely use this knot when froggin and punching with straight braid! Thanks from thr Cold True North of Stouffville, Ontario Canada
Thanks Tyler. That’s good content
Thank you sir. Great info.
I’ve actually been using this particular knot for a the past several years and have definitely liked it. I think I first saw it on the Total Fisherman CZcams page.
I usually use the Palamar. I’m definitely gonna check this out. Thank you.
Wow. Ive been using the double palamor knot for my braided line and i gotta wrap my line around my lighter so i can pull hard enough to either straighten the hook, break my swivel or snap the line on 40 lb test. Will definitely be trying this one out
Once again great insight to help my average fishing skills. I am curious if this knot reduces or eliminates braid slip during a hook set? With my current knot I’ll keep a longer tag but worried how many fish I’ve missed because of that scenario.
Thank you for your hard work! The improvised uni knot does well for braid, the double uni does well for fluorocarbon ( 3 tag ends ) , how does double uni do in test with braid? Thanks for everything 😊
Surprised the Pitzen failed early 😮 I will learn to do this knot based on your recommendation. You have not let me down yet 👊😎
I actually never tie braid directly to my hook or lure, but have used this knot on nylon mono and it works great.
I’ve been tying the Fish n Fool knot on braid since the original (knot wars ) video were posted many years ago ! Great knot !
Funny people call this the “fishing fool” knot just because someone made a CZcams video about. This not has been being tied long before braid ever even hit the market. It is a modified uni knot.
@beanieweenie9543 i agree with you that its a modified uni knot. I have been tieing it since the 90's when i started fishing and my dad showed me and he has been using it longer than that. He started fishing in the 60's but wouldn't have learned the knot till later.
Braided fishing line was invented in 1953 by YKG (according to google). The uni knot is credited to a Norman Duncan in 1960's. A little history lesson from goggle. The braid predates the uni knot there for you couldnt have tied a modified uni before braid hit the market.
Funny to see that. I was playing around one day looking for a strong knot to tie my line to a spool. Wrapping around the spool twice and tying a uni knot worked really well.
Spot on!!
Great video. I just subscribed to your videos.
Hey just curious, why do you specify its the best knot for braid? Is it not the strongest knot for mono or fluorocarbon as well? Is there another knot that's better for those?
Different knots do test at different strengths with different line types. I believe he ties a double pitzen for fluorocarbon because fluoro is a harder material and can cut into itself with certain knots. Just a guess though.
This the only knot that when I cap fish doesn’t consistently get broke off when they run.
Honestly is just the double wrap in eyelet puts less stress at the tie point. It’s the braid equivalent of a palomar knot with mono.
Been tying this knot for a while it works great with fluorocarbon too
Good video bro
Your knot is indeed impressive. As a professional freelance outdoor and science writer, river guide and life long fisherman (beginning at the age of 3), I consider it to be one of the best knots for attaching braided line to swivels, and I'm going to use it for Pacific Salmon & Steelhead as well
as Ocean species like our Tuna, Halibut and Lingcod. Thank you so much!! Can you please tell me the name of your "Tensiometer" (the device you used for measuring knot strength), and perhaps the place of purchase? Before your time, a very famous American Outdoor writer, Homer Circle, used an older non digital "Tensiometer"!! I'll formally thank you in a future article, for your assistance!!
What if you did the initial loop around the eye like the modified uni (doubled already), then apply it with the double Palomar knot? I have been doing that this past summer and never broke off once.
Used this knot for more than 10 years, at those internet times it was called fish-no-fool knot. It was the easiest to tie in winner's tests. Also it is very good for monoline, did not have to see its fail. Last season brought other person's fishing tackle caught by bushes (carp stole entire rod).
Very cool. Have you used this knot on monofilament or fluorocarbon? Just curious. Thanks!
I've heard that this is a great mono knot but not fluoro.
Thanks Ty,did you test thst on fluro?
Somebody on YT said it pulls apart on fluoro
I really like the channel, & I love small technical things in fishing like knots. However, Steve Penaz on the NorthAmericanFishing CZcams channel has not tests where the Berkley braid knot beat the Fish N Fool knot. I plan on testing it myself, but I thought you would find it interesting also.
You have to remember that Knot wars was sponsored by Berkey and used their testing machines. The Fish-N-Fool knot won in 2 out of the 3 line types and the Berkley braid knot didn't win any of them. Here is the Data from the Knot wars Series and you decide what knot really won.
Fish-N-Fool, Mono 20.54 lb. Braid 19.44 lb. Fluoro 15.2 lb.
Berkley knot Mono 19.8 lb. Braid 17.4 lb. Fluoro 19.6 lb.
Hi with this knot going over 100% have you done a test to find the true breaking strain of the actual line you are using. This would show how generous the specification is from the particular line you are using for your testing with.
I find that American lines allow for knot strength.
Japanese lines are half the strength.
I hate PE ratings. They mean nothing.
You should tie the Fish N Fool knot with fluoro and make a video to see how it holds up. Your fluoro video shows the Double SD Jam knot to be the best. I wonder if the FnF would beat it?? FnF vs. Double SD Jam using fluoro would be a very interesting video.
My question exactly. I'd love to have just one knot for all my applications.
czcams.com/video/xdNsx4aJ_UM/video.html
@@rickmcguirk5252 the uni knot is the only 1 I have found works . On some lines I have to tie a figure 8 in the end of the tag line. Mainly fluorocarbon. Happy tight lines.
I wondered if changing from Monofilament to Braided changed the knot selection. You tested 7 different knots using either mono or fluorocarbon and the San Diego Jam won. I actually like the fact this knot won for braided. It's so much easier to tie. I changed to an SDJ when I saw your test video. I guess either would stand the test of time when forced to perform?
I've been looking for a strong knot for braid that didn't slip. I started with the palamar and went to Swindle's double shindo and it has never failed me. But it makes a huge knot and not very good when using a Texas rig punching grass. This should make things better.
It looks like it would be strong thank you
The strongest I tested
How does this compare to the Double San Diego knot as far as strength?
Have you tried this knot with mono or flouro?
What’s the best knot braid to floral carbon
Thank you for wearing some PPE. LOL!
Fish n Fool is my go to knot
I've been doing this for a long time. I upgraded it with just a one drop of super glue. Gives it additional 10% more breaking strength.
I only use braid with either a fluoro leader or on a frog with a loop knot
Curious how strong a knot would be on monofilament using this knot. I'll have to try it once I learn this knot well. 😊
How would the fish n fool knot go in mono?
The heavier the line, the fewer turns on the knot. I do like knots that go twice through the eye. The first time I ever tied a Springer I caught a 298.8# YFT and 2 days later I got a 321# using the Springer too. It’s basically a Spangler (2x2) knot that’s tied incorrectly! I must say that I’ve never tied direct to a hook or lure with braid!
You didn't test the Fish-N-Fool Knot with the Fluorocarbon. Since the Fish-N-Fool Knot beat the Double San Diego Jam Knot on the Power Pro Braid. I am now curious to see how the Fish-N-Fool Knot will compare to the Double San Diego Jam Knot with Fluorocarbon. You know, you want to know also. I really enjoy your videos as they are very educational.
Wondering the same thing myself 😅
I’ve almost every conceivable fishing knot known to man and the best one I’ve discovered was Roland Martin’s “improved Palomar knot”!
Definitely not the best knot but a good knot, double uni is better and stronger
Did you also test this knot on fluoro? Wasn’t in the fluorocarbon video, but I’d be curious to see where it stacks up to the likes of the double SD.
Unfortunately I didnt have this one in the Fluoro test...that video is actually where I really heard about this knot
I use this on everything. I have never had an issue with it.
I use this knot for trolling walleye and go through the loop 7x for extra luck, lol. Never an issue.
The Double uni knot with three tag lines is even stronger..
We used 30lb braid and tested it 10 times with 5 wraps using basically the same setup and everytime the line broke at about 35lbs one even went to 39..the line always broke in the same spot as well, about 4 inches away from the knot..!
With this new information have you tied this not with floro just to see its strengths with floro just wondering
I’m a new angler in SFL. I have fished many times before but I am taking it serious now. I have so many questions 😭
Did you test the power knot? Has another name just forgetting it right now. Just curious.
👍👍👍
Can you do your fishing line test for us fly fisherman with regards to tippet. Rio fluroflex strong, Rio fluroflex, Rio powerflex , scientific anglers brand, maybe a few more other popular brands. In at least 2x to 7x these are more challenging due to the subtle poundage differences and light weight breaknstrengths. It's expensive like 24 cad for 30 yards of the stuff but has the smallest diameter of line per break strength.. or so it seems...are we getting scammed and should we just use regular big spools of fluro line or are these specialty tippet worth the money. Some are stiff some are limp....it's all very confusing.....
Guess I found a new knot to use.
Looks similar to a double uni knot
Are you deep sea fishing man? You can tie a double or triple polomar knot and you’ll be more than okay!
Fish n fool knot
You say for a hook or direct to the lure, but why not to a leader?
So what’s the difference in this knot and the double uni?
The double uni is typically when you tie 2 lines together. However some people call it a double uni when you tie a uni knot after doubling your line
@@TylerBergerFishing I’m talking about tying the uni with your line doubled? What would be the difference and or benefit to this knot ?
Wish you would expose the breaking strength of fluorocarbon. Every brand Ive tested breaks BELOW its labeled strength...Ive had seagar break as much as 4lbs less than what it was rated...then I tested some big game mono and it breaks above its rating
I already exposed it here - czcams.com/video/N76CMSsaBnI/video.htmlsi=_Ij1ES6YnfnkTP3Q I wouldn’t say that the Fluorocarbon breaks below the labeled strength…but your knot will
@@TylerBergerFishing lol..the line breaks before the polymer knot does
Seen that vid before forgot all about it...very good.
Can you do this knot with mono and fluoro on your test rig???
I'd like to know that same thing
I had the same thought
I have actually been tying this know with Flouro for over a year with no failures… just my experiences
I’m interested in how well this knot works with fluorocarbon.
@@billwheeler4343 thanks
Hi Tyler - I am from Asia and have been fishing for 50+ years. And I have been curious about knot strength for the different knots for a long time. So thank you for the videos.
I have been using two different knots (attached below) for many years with success.
If you can find the time, would really appreciate it if you can do a knot strength comparison.

Long line knot

Thank you.
Why won't this knot work on fluoro?
But do we really have to worry about braid ? I suck at knots and never had a braid one fail. In fact I had to cut it a few times because I couldn’t get it to break after being hung up 😂
Since you have the test rig will you please please test the double uni not. I believe this is going to be the strongest knot yet for braid to hook. czcams.com/video/eTUQjMvcnfI/video.htmlsi=DC_tcM6U41K4RN6g
this is a link to the knot that I'm referring to.
Im not saying you are wrong about your knot but In the KNOT WARS that was posted every week a few years back the Palamor knot proved to be the strongest knot for braid. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Man I am telling you according to my scale...it wasnt even close..I also saw that but I was blown away by this one
@@TylerBergerFishing Same here, the Palomar knot never worked for me. I guess those Palomar guys never used a scale to test it.
Polymer knot never fails
Unless you tell us the names of the other knots you tested, this doesn't mean SQUAT!
103.64 percent. Bahahaha. What utter nonsense.
Your veido is broke up😢
I’ll definitely give this knot a try . How did the strength of a Palomar knot compare ( obviously this knot is better )
