Quote: "A good knot is a tied line's best friend."
A Walk through History
Understanding the Uni Knot also offers an intriguing journey into the past. Its origins can be traced back to the days of our very own Harry Reynolds and the Stanton Ironworks. The knot echoes the robustness and reliability of the Reynolds Reel, making it the perfect companion for your angling adventures.
The Making of the Uni Knot
- First, pass the line through the eye of the hook.
- Double back parallel to the standing line.
- Make a loop by laying the tag end over the doubled line.
- Next, make six turns with the tag end around the double line and through the loop.
- Wet the knot and pull the tag end to snug up the turns.
- Slide the knot down to the eye of the hook or swivel.
Perfecting this knot requires practice and patience, much like the craft that goes into every reel in our Adcock Stanton Centrepin Reels collection.
Choosing the Right Gear
An integral aspect of successful fishing, beyond mastering knot techniques, lies in choosing the perfect reel. Just as the Uni Knot connects the line to the lure, a well-selected reel forms the vital link between the angler and the water. Whether you're a fan of the 4.25" Adcock Stanton Centrepin Fishing Reel for its sleek design or you favor the 5" Adcock Stanton Centrepin Reel for its superior drag system, remember that the perfect reel is one that fits your fishing style and the demands of the fish you're pursuing.
