Eye Crosser Knot - check it out

Eye Crosser Knot
A strong knot that works well with super lines, mono and fourcarbons, and a favorite a number of southern bass anglers, the Eye Crosser knot is relatively unknown and that's too bad because it is a great knot.
Step 1: Pass the end line through the hook eye two times, making sure to leave approximately eight inches.
Step 2: Place the end line parallel to the standing line and then pinch both lines together with your fingers; approximately two inches from the hook eye.
Step 3: Take the end line and wrap it around the parallel lines three times.
Step 4: To tighten the knot, pull the standing line.

THis sounds just like the knot that Drumking ties. He only showed me once, but it will take me tying them several times to remember!

That's a Uni w/ the line just passed thru the eye twice ... and it is what DK uses. The Uni has become my favorite knot, but I'd caution anyone about wrapping only three times with braid ... it'll slip for sure. I wrap 4x w/ mono 8lb test and under, 3x w/ mono 10lb test and greater, and 7x with braid. It's a brutally strong knot that tests much higher than a Palomar.

With braid, I like to finish the tag end with a drop of super glue - reduces unraveling.

FYI, the best knot I've found for braid to floro is an albright.
