The Useful Uni-knot
The uni knot is one of the strongest and most versatile knots. It is quick and easy to tie and once perfected, this method can be tied in the dark. Thread the line through the eye of the hook. Fold a long section of tag end back along the main line.
Pinch the tag and mainline together between two fingers and thumb. Roll the tag back over the two fingers and between thumb and fingers to form a large loop. Roll the wrist so the loop rotates to the bottom. Hold the hook, the tag end and the main line, pulling tight so the loop closes.
Thread the tag end through the loop, around the tag and mainline and back through the loop. Repeat this six times.

CRIMPY’S SECRET GPS SPOTS
Tasman Tree Fella Ltd is branching out to bach and home owners in the Marlborough Sounds. For the past five years Matiu Noakes has worked hard to look after his clients in the way of affordable tree solutions and maintenance. Matiu and his young family have been bitten by the boating bug which has meant spending as much time as possible in the Sounds. With a dream of one day owning their own bach somewhere down there- what better way to meet the locals than offering his tree services to them. Being self employed gives flexibility to go where needed, when required. For extra manpower and machinery, Matiu has reliable subcontractors who he can trust to come on board, work safe and take pride in sharing a job well done.

Once the loop is closed, grasp the main line and hook – pulling smoothly until the knot slides tight against the hook. Clip the tag end, leaving 3mm spare.
