Improved Clinch Knot
This is probably the most common of all knots,
perhaps owing to its simplicity. You can increase
the strength by doubling the line when you tie this
knot.
(1) Pull the line through the eye and double back,
making five turns around the standing line.
(2) Holding the coils, pull the tag end through the
loop closest to the eye, then back through the big
loop you just created.
(3) Slide the knot tight and trim the tag end

Uni-Knot
A strong, versatile knot which can also be tied to
form an end-loop that tightens down to a
conventional knot.
(1) Run six inches of line through the eye and fold it
back to make two parallel lines.
(2) Bring the tag end back toward the eye and
make six spiral wraps around the two parallel lines.
(3) Snug the knot; to leave a loop, hold the knot at
the point where you want it while you pull on the
standing line.
(4) If you don’t want a loop, slide the knot to eye.
Trim the tag end.
