Sometimes this knot is refered to as the Uni Knot at others as the Grinner Knot, either way it is probably one of the easiest, and most reliable, knots to tie for attaching pike traces to the end of your line. It works equally well with nylon monofilament or braided lines.

Step 2 Pass the free end of the line through the loop, and around the mainline, four times. Moisten the knot and pull the free ends to tighten the knot while controlling the coils as it slides up the line.

Step 3 Carefully slide the knot towards the swivel while continuing to pull on the free end. Snug the knot down tight and trim off the free end. In thin braided lines the knot can be tied after first doubling a length of line.
