I like a San diego jam knot once through tied snug with a v.short piece of chaff tube. It's easier to tie, stronger and neater than most other terminal knots |

Sometimes the Uni when looped twice won't sit nice, but if you work it you can get it sitting real nice. I haven't found any difference in knot strength... I do find myself using knots that loop twice or three times now, Jansik Special or Worlds Fair Knot are good knots that use multiple loops, the Worlds Fair is nice and compact. |
