How many times are you guys going through the loop on your uni knots? Are you doing it the same on the braid, leader and hook?

I use 5 loops on 25lb flouro, 4 loops on 30lb flouro, and 8 loops on 65lb spectra. Lube the knot with spit before you pull it tight.

I use a San Diego, but uni should work just as well. make sure your wraps cinch up cleanly & don't overlap each other when you tighten the knot.

Also lube it before you cinch it so you don't friction burn the line. That advice will carry over to other activities as well.
