- How to tie a Grinner Knot or Uni Knot in a clear and easy to follow video. Known as the Grinner knot in the UK or Universal or Uni knot elsewhere in the world because it can be used in just about any material and retain good knot strength. Particularly good in braid and monofilament to connect to swivels and other terminal tackle. An essential knot to know.
*This was my first time using Braided line and I was happy with the product **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's held up well and I have no complaints. Would buy again.*

Just got back into carp fishing. I used to always have issues with knots coming loose, now I know why. Ive been doing it wrong for years! Thank you for this, clearest video I've found.
Ive been tying the grinner knot slightly wrong over the years and finally you have cleared it up for me, i always ended up with my knots looking untidy, your way my knots look profesional, cheers
Well i just watched another vid of a guy doing and explaining this knot. But the way how this guy does it is MYLES better lol. Thanks again, you're the Don Corleone of angling!
I have really struggled to tie this knot in the past Myles, thank you so much for making it so clear.
You're welcome, I'm glad to help. If you can, please share these videos. It helps me to make more. Thank you.
Absolutely crystal clear and concise instructions.
Just tied my barbel rigs up with braid using this technique.
Thanks.
Most concise Grinner knot tutorial I've found!
Thank you. I'm going to use this knot to tie my leader (pre-made one with a loop one end) onto my mainline.
Myles your videos are definitely the easiest to follow my knot tying and rigs has improved many thanks.
Best tutorials on UA-cam. Thanks Myles
Glad to be of help, I've uploaded many more knots on my channel. Take a look, I'll be uploading more on a regular basis. Many thanks, Myles

Brilliant video. Everything explained really well and demonstrated clearly with great tips in the commentary. Thanks very much.
Best description I have seen yet with clear instructions - brill
Very explicit and well narrated .Many thanks .
This helped me so much, thanks. Before my grinners were not consistant. Now, after the first try while watching this...it's just a beauty.
You're very welcome. Please share my videos on social media. It helps me to make more!
Quick abd easy. Thank you! 👏
I use this for repairing self-bows (custom wood long-bows for hunting). Holds strong.
Excellent, thanks for posting
Great video, very nice knot.
Thanks for this video.My attempts at this know have been hit and miss, this explains very clearly.
Martbass64 Great, I'm glad to help. If you can/like please share my videos.
'tag end' is the short length line that you usually trim off when the knot is finished. I hope that helps.
good vid,well explained and easy to follow ...thank you Myles
Thanks Robert. Share it if you can. It helps me to make more. Tight Lines
Great video, i have really struggled tying this knot, thanks
Excellent description! I now think I can tie this knot! Many thanks! :-)
Awesome tutorial mate like all ur vids thanks
great vid as usual Myles
Thanks - a very clear video.
@Dániel Horváth he's not saying Tagen, he's saying Tag End which usually means the short end of the line being tied into a knot.
Thank you TeKno yes it is 'tag end'
You're welcome, glad to be of help.
Great video. Thanks. I've been fishing on and off for years and always used the half blood knot (later on the tucked half blood knot). Recently learnt the knotless knot as well as the knot that you use for a D rig (not sure what its called), the palomar knot tonight as well but this looks a good one to add to the armoury. Would you recommend the palomar knot over this one for any other situations?
Very easy to follow thank you
In the UK this knot is called the Grinner knot. It is well documented as such in magazines, books and DVDs. I appreciate it is different to the Grinner knot known elsewhere in the world. I will re label the video to indicate this.
Great video, helped me lots!!
I am a right hander and that's how I tie it! But if you really want to tie it the other way around you would need to reverse everything for sure
Thanks Ernest
Isnt a hang mans noose easier to tie? Wrapping around rather than creating a loop and feeding through. Bit fiddly isnt it or is that the correct knot for that?
It depends in what material you are tying. In monofilament nylon this is a good strong knot retaining 100% of the lines strength. There are other knots. Some simpler some definitely not. Some work better with fluorocarbon and some with braid. The best knot to use depends on so many factors. I have not tested a hangman’s noose in monofilament fishing line so I can’t comment on that. With regard to how easy it is to tie, we’ll that’s down to practice. I can tie this knot with my eyes closed!
Thanks, so basically the loop should go behind the standing line?
If tying this with the swivel in the left hand (for a right hander), would the standing line still be behind the loop or is everything reversed?
Hi Myles, thank you for this video. I just bought some ESP syncro XT Mono, it says on the back of the box, to use this 5 turn grinner knott Now, i see you use this for tying swivel, can i also use this knot for the hook also please? many thanks Si.
Hi Si, yes that will work just the same.
A great tutorial. unless of course your name is David "know it all" Breden
Got it thanks
could you use this knot for spooling up your reel ?
Yes, it's a great knot for just that. You may want to just do 2 or 3 turns so that the knot is not too strong. If you get spooled by a fish, the knot will break and not potentially take your rod and reel! That may not be an issue with light line but with heavy tackle I've seen it go wrong!
Myles Gascoyne thanks for replying, is it basicly the same as a hangmans knot ?
Yes, in that it tightens liket a noose. But is tied a bit differently.
Could anyone give me a definition for the word, tagen? (The spelling, I used may be incorrect.)
tag end
Yeah mate thats what i always tell her give it a good firm pull 😜😜🤣
..knot!
Doesnt really help you doing it left handed as most people are right handed 🙈
That isnt a grinner knot
You show us a grinner knot then.
SHOW you? Dont know how to post videos. Tell you: Line goes thru hook eye, 3 twists, THEN loop back on itself, a further 3 twists, moisten and pull tight
Guys, this is what is known as a Grinner knot in the UK. In other parts of the world you are correct David a Grinner is tied differently. Please don't use this space for an argument. Thanks, Myles
