How to tie the ultimate fishing knot

The uni-knot is close to a universal connection. Like many anglers these days, I spool many of my reels with braided or gel-spun line, so I probably tie this knot 5,000 times a season. By using a uni-knot instead of a swivel, you can reel the tiny, strong knot through your line guides, directly onto the spool.

For directions, see the diagram below.
