Uni Knot vs. Palomar Knot: Knot Strength Test For Braided Fishing Line

Now that we have our fancy new scientific fishing knot strength machine, it's knot test time!

In this video, we're going to be testing the palomar knot vs. the uni knot for braided line.

These are both really popular and really strong knots, but is one better than the other?

As it turns out, yes one is!

Although both knots are very secure (neither of the knots pulled out during the test), they do have different breaking strengths, which essentially means that one is stronger (and can handle a bigger fish) than the other.

We're finally able to quantify exactly how much the difference in breaking strength is between these two knots and it's pretty significant.

Nobody wants to lose a big fish because they tied a weak knot, so remember this test next time to you go tie a snug knot with braided line.

What’s your favorite snug knot with braided line?

Are there any other knots you’d like to see tested against each other?
