0:08.8	It's How To Tuesday on the Tom Rowland podcast, brought to you by Danco.
0:14.3	Today we're tying and testing two very popular knots.
0:17.4	We have the Uninot, which is used for a number of purposes. The one we're
0:21.6	tying today is used to tie on the hook or lure. We're going to test that against the San
0:28.0	Diego jam knot. These knots are both very very popular. I know many people that only tie the
0:33.9	San Diego jam, many people that only tie the uni knot. We're going to find out today which
0:38.8	is actually stronger. So today we're tying the Uni knot with five turns. We're using

1:21.4	The results are in and we have a winner. The San Diego Jam broke at 20.08 pounds and that is on Diwa J-Bray 20 pound fluorocarbon off the same line. The Uninot broke at 20.24 just edging out the San Diego

1:37.1	wrong with either one. It's really simply a matter of personal preference. You got 20.08 versus 20.24, slight edge to the uny knot.
1:47.0	We've tied and tested over 40 knots here at the Tom Rowland podcast. We've accumulated all the
