Duncan or uni knot

Any one have an opinion on is this is better to tie a fly on with?


I have used this knot a few times, but after flyfishing for over five decades
now, I still have enough trouble tying an improved clinch knot correctly.

I have used a uni knot for everything from snelling hooks, attaching
decoy line to decoys and anchors to tying leaders to fly line and
construction of tapered leaders. It is really not that hard to tie,
and if lubricated when pulled tight, remains very strong. A great all
around knot!!

Have a fly shop show you the non slip knot. It is really easy to tie.
Also, have you thought of buying a knot tyer, like the tie fast combo
too? I saw an alternate to the tie fast combo tool at walmart that was
made in america and only cost $4.
