The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.
The knot is very similar to a round turn and two half hitches except that the first half hitch is passed under the turn. In many everyday uses, the finishing half-hitch need not be made; alternatively, one might seek surer security by tying off the end with a strangle knot to the standing part.

[1] [2] A becket hitch has the same structure as the sheet bend, which joins, or "bends", the ends of two ropes together. The becket hitch, in contrast, fixes a rope to a closed eye or hook. [3] In this instance, a becket means the eye or hook of a pulley block, an eye in the end of a rope, or a rope handle on a sailor's sea chest.
The killick hitch / ˈ k ɪ l ɪ k / is a type of hitch knot used to attach a rope to oddly shaped objects. [1]: 32 It is a combination of a timber hitch tied in conjunction with a half hitch [1]: 23 which is added to lend support and stability when pulling or hoisting the object.
The snell knot is a hitch knot used in angling to attach a fishing line to the shank (instead of the eye) of a fishing hook. The line may still pass through the eye of the hook, but primarily fastens to the shaft. Hooks tied with a snell knot provide an even, straight-line pull to the fish.
A Tensionless hitch is an anchor knot used for rappelling or rope rescue. Unlike most knots, the tensionless hitch retains a 100% efficiency rating, [ 3 ] meaning the strength of the knot is equal to the strength of the rope; it is not a significant stress riser .
