The FG knot is noticeably stronger and thinner than the double uni, so I now use that exclusively when connecting braid to my mono/fluoro leader lines.

Which is better the double uni or the FG knot or am I looking at these knots wrong?
?

In reply to James. The doubled braid category is for knots where the braid is first doubled over using a knot like the bimini twist which then gets tied to the leader with a different knot. This is just doubling the braid over to help create more surface area so I don't consider it in the official doubled line category.

Should this doubled-over double uni knot be under the “doubled braid-to-leader knots” category? Thanks for all the knot education!

In reply to Jose. Yes. It is not as strong as the FG knot so I do not recommend it.

If i tie my double uni with the flouro leader making my wraps over the top from front to back and then tie the braid knot with wraps going over the top from front to back this knot seems to break randomly for no apparent reason. If when doing the second knot in the braid and take it over the top from back to front.. this never happens, the knot is always reliable and strong. Going over the top from front to back with both knots seems to me that the spirals going in opposite directions and an opportunity to not mate evenly in the middle when you set the knot. The other way to avoid this condition is just 180 deg the two lines before you tie the second knot. This aligns the spirals in the same direction also and it always turns out strong and reliable.. hope this makes sense with no vid to follow it,.

thanks for the opportunity to share this.. Hallmark..

Luke, thanks for another great video. Have you tested if the double-double is also stronger when the mono/fluoro is weaker than the braid? I would think so since there is more surface area on the braid cutting into the mono, but it would be nice to have that confirmed in a test.

Also would be good to know how the double-double uni compares to the Alberto and FG knot. Again, comparing stronger and weaker combinations of mono/fluoro and braid would be enlightening.
