![]() Given the slightly stronger hold of the Uni knot along with the fact that it’s a bit easier to tie, I recommend the Uni for this connection.Īlso, please note that adding more wraps (above 10) make it even stronger… 14 is what I now use when tying this knot.Īn interesting finding from the series of fishing knot contests we preformed has been that using a direct line-to-line knot is just as strong (and sometimes stronger) than using a swivel to connect the two lines. This analysis was very close for the Uni knot and the San Diego Jam. ![]() It proved to be a very good option, but I found that it was tough to get consistent results with it and it took a bit longer to tie than the Braid Uni ( which happens to be stronger than the Jam knot too), so I’ll stick with the Uni going forward.īelow is the best way I found to tie the San Diego Jam with braid in case you’re curious: This is a knot that I was completely unfamiliar with when starting this analysis. Given its low performance and relative difficulty to tie, I recommend not using this one so did not include a how-to video. The best we could find was a doubling of the braid through the hook eye and 10 wraps around the main line with the braid, but even that couldn’t compete with the others due to slipping out. So we decided to test out multiple variations to see if it can be trusted with braided line. However, like the Palomar, most of the knot reviews involve using it on mono. The ‘Improved Clinch Knot’ is another very popular knot which has great online reviews.
