How to tie a Cross Over Uni-Knot by Abu Garcia

Описание: Used to tie braided superline to the arbor of a reel -- make sure your reel is braid-ready with a non-slip texture. (To prevent braid from slipping on non braid-ready spools, be sure to tie a monofilament backing to the spool with the Arbor Knot.)

Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling tight. This is especially important on fluorocarbon lines they are easily damaged by heat from friction.

1. Open the bail on the spinning reel and make a large loop with about 20 inches of braided superline around the arbor.

2. Double back at the top forming a small circle.

3. Tie a Uni-Knot by wrapping the tag end around both lines six turns, and through the loop.

4. Moisten the knot, then pull the tag end and mainline while holding the knot to tighten.

5. Keep loop against the spool and twist the loop to from a figure eight.

6. Place the top loop of the figure eight over the spool by placing one side around the spool lip, so the arbor now has two wraps.

7. Again, from another figure eight in the loop.

8. Place the top loop of the figure eight over the spool again so the spool is now wrapped three times. Make sure the wraps cross over the braid-ready textured area of the spool.

9. Pull the mainline to tighten the knot against the spool and trim the tag end.
