There are three common knot scenarios, (1) line-to-line, (2) line-to-tackle, and (3) line-to-hook. To some degree, the knot varies with the type of line – particularly in the case of monofilament vs. super-braid. Here is a summary grid of common use-cases.
| Monofilament | Super-braid | Fluorocarbon | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Line-to-tackle | Clinch or Double Clinch | Uni | Double Clinch |
| Line-to-line | Uni-to-uni | Uni-to-uni | Uni-to-uni |
| Line-to-hook | (do you really want to?) | (do you really want to?) | Snell |
