And the best part of the uni-knot is that it is easy to tie.

Now a stupid question........ :blush:


Is the % behind the knot the strength of the knot?

If those are knot strengths, then they are very inaccurate.

The knot ringed by Yellow is the Improved Clinch knot - stated as a 98% strength??... (the old fisherman's knot, except improved with an extra lock.)

Tackletour tests using proper scientific equipment show that it has no more than 79% strength in 50lb nylon. We stopped using that knot 10 years ago! There are many much better alternatives.
