The Randy BlauKNOT!!!💪💪💪💪
The way you tie it is so much easier than I saw in someone else's video. Thanks for the lesson.
That has been my go to knot for 10 yrs i watched jimmy houston tye it
That’s the doubled pitzen/Jimmy Houston/Shaw Grigsby knot.
The doubled uni is the uni knot, but doubling the line. Amart and Brent Chapman have good videos on the doubled uni.
I’ve been using the single line version of this knot for 16 years and started using this exact knot about a year ago. Great knot and easy to use. Thanks for all the great info.
Thank you for showing!
Randy, that is the best knot I have used on Fluorocarbon and Monofilament. Also it is very easy to tie. Thank you for this information.
If Master Aaron called it a double Uni Knot it’s a double Uni Knot!
Thanks Randy, I have used the Palomar forever & have never had one fail at the knot. I’ll try this this season just for grinnies
Love these videos
Thanks for the great knot!
“Doesn’t matter what you call it” is the second best comment I’ve ever heard about knot tying. As long as you know what you’re doing, and do it well, is what’s important.
The best knot tying comment came from B Lat, as he described his process for prepping a lure; “The best knot you can tie, is the best knot you can tie.” Amen!!
Thank you, Randy.
Thanks for showing. I have always seen folks using that knot. I have always wanted to know the procedure. Thanks.
Always great content
I remember watching you tue this in another video and it looks like a great one to know. Thanks for sharing!! :)
Randy ya learn something new every day about fishing I thought that knot was called the sandigio jam not another piece of key information about jig fishing I love it thanks again for the time and effort you spend teaching us God bless you and your family your pal fisherman Mike
I love this knot. It doesn't slip so you can cut the tag as short as you want. I've always just done 3 wraps unless it's 10lb line or less then I use 4 wraps. I use it for everything but for smaller baits I just use the single line and don't double it.
The only con I've experienced with it is the way the tag points up the line it will catch little pieces of grass and muck as you drag it though stuff. Either way I still use it because I've never had one break and it doesn't burn fluoro.
Watched Jimmy Houston demonstrate this more years ago than I care to remember. He claimed the name of the knot was the Jimmy Houston knot!
Looks like a really good knot. I am going to try to learn that.
That’s new to me I’ll have to give it a try, thanks!
No clue what this is called but it’s the same knot I’ve tied for the last 4 or 5 years. Usually only 3-4 wraps though unless Im using 12lb or less. Incredibly strong knot
This knot saved me last year. I kept breaking off when setting the hook and switched to this and ive yet to break off yet. Best thing about it is the way it cinches down, it doesnt put pressure on the line or create tight spots. Only knot i will ever use for flourocarbon!! Ive heard it called 3 different knots, the first I heard was the double pitzen so thats what i refer to it as
I've been using this knot for a couple of years now . I was told it's the knot with no name Randy Shaw Grigsby tied this on with fluorocarbon with jig's.
Anyway it won't break and I use this one also.
Thanks Randy, I rely on a similar version of this knot for braided line to hook connections called the Double San Diego Jam knot. No need to describe the knot as plenty of tutorials exist on UA-cam for the SD Jam and Dbl SD Jam knots. Thanks again.
I e tried so many knots and keep going back to the San Diego Jam Knot. With braid I double the line. I’ve ever once had a knot failure. I trust it and since I’ve used it for so long I can tie it really fast. Plus it’s purdy. 😎
It really is the best knot and not just for jigs. Been using it for almost 10 years, learned it from a video Amart made and found it on YT.
I’ve always tied the San Francisco Jam but I’ll have to give this a try.
Hey Randy! Saw you on Dave Mercer the other night. Interesting interview. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Randy I’ll have to try this one. I usually tie a Palomar. I am careful as I can be to keep the lines forming the loop through the hook eye parallel and not crossed over. I don’t know if it improves the knot strength or keeps the line from cutting itself, but I have more confidence tying this way, Do y’all think it makes any difference to knot strength? Thanks for your thoughts and input on this.
Hey Randy! I don’t know for sure if it’s the same knot, but it reminds me of the knot John Fox, the American Angler used to tie. He spun the hanging lure around the line to make the wraps. Watching your old school jig spin a bit around the wraps triggered this memory. Lol! Man I’m old school! Thanks for the memory! I’ll try it on your blue tinsel jigs I ordered!
Could you do your favorite knots for braid. My problem with floro is I break it alot on the hookset
Working on it now👍👍👍
This is a great fast tying knot.
Saw your interview with Dave Mercer. Maybe you hit on an idea..old guns vs the newbies like the googans. That would be interesting.
thank you
i got it first try!!!!
Nice
here in southern illinois we call it the double polimer. BEST KNOT. Good video
Personally I prefer a loop knot over a cinch knot on a jig . I think it allows the jig more movement. Sometimes I put a bead on the line first then tie the loop knot to the jig. It looks like the jig is chasing something when you jig it. I'm not a pro but it works for me here in San Diego. I also crush the barb on the hook. I would like to know your opinion on this.
A jig is mostly used for pulling larger fish from cover, so a loop knot is not a good idea as it breaks way easier than a palomar knot or trilene knot
I'd love to see some info on *why* this is the best knot for a jig. I've seen this knot or variations on it, but don't understand the theory. As an engineer by day and a fisherman for life, I want to understand the reasons various pros use different knots in different situations. Thanks for sharing, always love your videos.
Most of the time, top anglers only vary knots because of how a particular knot may affect the action of a particular lure. For instance, a Roostertail in-line spinner works best with a knot that allows the main line to come straight out of the knot (clench or improved clench knot), not to the side (palomar). The spinner runs more true. Conversely, a palomar knot, when tied properly, affords a greater KNOT STRENGTH. It provides 100% LINE STRENGTH, meaning the line will break at it's maximum tensile strength before the knot ever does. I seldom tie anything other than a palomar, improved clench, or loop (Rapala) knot. The loop knot is utilized when maximum action from the lure is required-ie. Rapala (floating minnow) fishing. Although this knot affords a more free lure action, I still prefer a palomar tied to a snap, in order to maintain 100% line strength rather than settle for less with the single strand loop knot.
I tie it differently but get to the same super-strong knot. It is the best I've ever used. Like others, I learned it from a Shaw Grigsby video.
Tied the single line version my whole life and never knew what it was called. I like it because I can tie it very fast and even in very little light. I can honestly say i never had the knot break before the line gave.....
The only one I could learn from
Randy, do you think the 3 tag ends facing away from the jig tend to get caught on grass and other vegetation? I typically tie a knot with the tag end facing the jig to help reduce getting caught up in the grass, and it allows the jig to pull thru the vegetation easier (in my opinion). I can see braid not being an issue because the line is softer and more limp, but with 20lb fluoro it catches grass and other veggies real easily.
It definitely does get caught up more and picks up more, especially the stringy/mucky stuff. This is due to the larger size of the knot AND the 3 tags. I think this knot is only useful with Fluoro which is famous for knot failure.
What knot is used when tying fluorocarbon to spinnerbaits and crankbaits?
Thank you 🙏🏻, is it just me but at the end you are left to cut the loop and the loose end ?
I agree… this is the best knot for fluorocarbon … also agree the name doesn’t really matter… I was taught this knot was called the Double Pitzen.
I absolutely love ur videos, very informative. Do u fish Lake of the Ozarks?
Great Video! I have a question for you. I use floriicarbon as my leader line. Are you saying to tie this knot instead of the loop knot when jigging or casting for Crappies? Will this knot affect the crappie jigs action?
Bait-WRX has my jig order
Thx Wendell!
Palomar knot for life here but I know a few others. I'll go out of my way to tie a Palomar on an umbrella lol. It's a pain for sure. But I'll do the doubled up fisherman's knot or whatever it's called too... I'll def give this a try if it crosses my mind...
Do you use the same knot on braid?
I tie a similar knot. The only difference is I pass the line thru the bottom loop then the top loop. The guy I learned from call it a jam knot. Your right, I've never had this knot fail either. I agree, best knot for Fluorocarbon 👍
Kewl knot to use for jigs. Can you use for other baits too?
I have been using a trilene knot on all my lines and have never had a problem in 29 years. Tried several other knots with no luck. Never tried this knot though.
Hey Randy does it help to turn your hand side ways when casting a bait caster ? I have done this since the eighties. I hope you understand what I'm asking.
I see people do that when they are skipping. They make a backwards C figure when throwing it
Thanks Randy. I'm glad I watched. That is indeed a good one. 🤪 It's a pistol knot with the line doubled¡!¡¿¿
I use this knot alot I used to use the uni and lost a couple nice fish and found this one on UA-cam
Randy, would you use this not for just about all fluoro needs?
Thanks for the info but fluorocarbon and braid needs a uni and to me it’s cause it slips , I only use that on fluorocarbon and braid but on everything else I like Palomar knots
Bass Pro Shops brand fishing line is the exact same as Seagur. Next time you're there check the backs of both of them they come from the same place.
Bass pro brand uses several different companies to make their products. I know the reels are from Doyo in Korea. They make a lot of big name brands. But just because they make both brands doesn't mean the components and material are the same quality. Just like Seaguar has different models of fishing line and they aren't all created equal.
Jimmy Houston knot ..."A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Been using this knot for many years now. Learned it watching Shaw Grigsby and Gary Klein...said it was the best for fluorocarbon. I think they called it the Eugene Bend knot. Remember seeing it on the "Knot Wars" TV show back in the day
The Double Shindo is the best knot for fluorocarbon.
And through the barn lol
i hope u make good money doing this because u are worth it sir.
Randy do you ever change knots in extreme cold or hot water? I’ve heard some cinch knots break easier in extreme cold water specifically fluorocarbon. Is there any truth to that?
I'm one to say absolutely true! I fish in Idaho, cold. Fluorocarbon breaks easier in cold. Sometimes I just switch to trilene sensation mono green.
Thats write Randy enough is enough I ranted on you about Roland and since I've seen that yes I was out of line it just made we angry how some of the top guys in that error were argent and nasty sorry man thanks for what you share w us
Double Palomar knot is also a great knot with no stretch.
The G man calls it the double shindo!Lmao still works no matter what it’s called
RIP Brother Martin
Randy, as a professional, please watch Amart’s video on timing the Uni knot. You will see that his tie is not the same. You are tieing the Pitzen also called the Three Tag, Shaw Grigsby, and Jimmy Houston. You are correct, the Pitzen is a great knot and easier to tie than the double Uni. I just thought that you would like to know the correct name.
Gerald Swindle has a video from years back on that very same knot.
Yeah I think he called it the double shindo
I don’t care what it’s name is, as long as it works. I tie this knot quite a bit. When I learned to tie it it was called the San Diego Jam. It is very similar to another knot known as the uni knot. I tie both. They both work. Not trying to be that guys just letting you know what the internet says. Aaron was awesome. He will be missed
dang, you probably had to dig a bit before finding that yellow braid Good tip
Lol yes
Guys just chill out - It's how you tie the knot, not what it's called! HALE TO RANDY!! 😂😂😂
I'm no professional by no means but I tie a loop knot on all my jigs. I believe that it gives it more action.
I tie it just slightly different but end up with the exact same knot and yes, that’s the double line Uni knot for sure. 👌
I've heard that the best knots to use on some baits...crank baits and swim baits is a loop knot. Do you ever use a loop style knot on any baits?
I just use a uni knot and it holds up for me
Rest In Peace Aaron. James Niggemeyer showed me a really easy knot for Fluoro. It is called a Eugene slip knot . A lot of the guys are using it now for it’s strength and simplicity. ( see = Niggemeyer Eugene slip knot on You Tube). Us real “ Old Schoolers” still flip / Pitch Lake Fork with Big Game or McCoy Copoly line in 20 to 25 lb. test . You can get away with hard hook sets & Tie traditional knots. True Old School jig fishing around the vast fields of timber.
Yeah, call it "a pickle" if you want as long as you can tie it well & it holds. 😎
I think I’ve seem Gerald swindle use this knot.
If Aaron says it’s a double uni then it’s a goddam freaking double uni
only knot i tie!
Super strong knot used it for about 3 weeks and you can jackem with it
Definitely the best not in my opinion for fluorocarbon. Great video...! I have yet to break my line with this knot...
Need to start calling it the Amart knot.
I was flipping a Jig into heavy cover today. Got a bite and my knot gave out 😭😢
Ever since Randy has been talking about his jigs I've realized I've been pronouncing his last name wrong for a long time haha.
I wish we would just call this knot the A mart knot, because it's not a uni, double uni, or anything else uni.
Yep, you are 100% right!!!
It’s a double 16-20 knot
There are at least 1 dozen professional anglers that have done a video on this knot. Jimmy Houston, Gerald swindle, Brent Ehrler, Ztrain, Shaw Grigsby, Gerald Swindle… check out his UA-cam video it is hilarious…. But Randy yours is the easiest to follow
1:36 Arron Martens ties a double uni knot in this 2013 video ua-cam.com/video/7ZTymZXFUpA/v-deo.html , your knot is completely different. If you're going to bring up Aaron in every video for clout, at least have some pride and make sure its true.
I see your point, that this knot allows the line to lay on itself in a secure pattern, negating the possibility of it cutting itself... HOWEVER, when tied PROPERLY, the palomar does the exact same thing with less effort. Don't you remember when Paul Elias brought out the test meter and tested knot strengths? (Circa 1986?) His demonstration proved that the Palomar knot, WHEN PROPERLY TIED, allows for 100% knot strength, meaning the LINE will break before KNOT does EVERY TIME. I guess the question is: do you want a knot that is slightly more complicated, yet gives TOTAL (I assume) assurance of 100% knot strength EVERY TIME or will a slightly less complicated knot that requires TOTAL attention to detail in order to obtain the same TOTAL assurance of 100% knot strength suffice? I understand and respect your reasoning and logic but, as I seldom use fluorocarbon for my jigs, I elect to tie the latter. My reasoning is this: 1)the palomar is easier FOR ME to tie, 2)the palomar has fewer tag ends to snag... whatever it may snag, and 3)I've seen the palomar on the test meter! I will, however, keep this knot in mind should I ever need it. Thank you, for teaching a few of us old dogs a few new tricks. 👍🏼
Do use braid on your jigs normally
I been tying a doubled uni knot......from good ole aaron martens himself I learned a few years back. or a Swindle double shindo through the woods and down the creek behind the barn..... also known as an improved cinch knot, it's also a doubled knot. I never use a palomar anymore for anything, I always see people snapping off off and then upset cuz they don't know why; they tied it wrong or didn't flip the loop upwards or have two lines crossed in eye of hook or lure...... so just don't tie it, problem solved.
As 4:49
Actually I think you learned wrong Randy. Aaron tied his Double Uni like this:
ua-cam.com/video/7ZTymZXFUpA/v-deo.html
Wearing a black hoodie and yellow line was absolutely the right move here on knot tying. I think you are starting to "get" these special video effects and tips man - LoL. Keep it up. And yes, I am being serious. I have seen dudes wear a white shirt on videos like this and it is just a total waste of time. Well done.....again !
Sorry but that’s not the strongest knot , I do offshore jigging and we use the chain knot , that’s the beat one
I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say
just so so，because of that loop，it's still the weak point
