The Double Paragun Knot, which is known by many other names worldwide, like Double Hangman's Noose, Double Uni Knot, Double Grinner, Double Multiple Fisherman's Knot and Double Grapevine Knot, is a good nylon line to line joining knot. Many who constantly use the Uni knot as a terminal knot will most likely opt for this knot as their preferred line joining knot. It is slightly stronger than the Blood knot although slightly weaker than the Double Centauri knot.

There are basic rules that apply to the tying of all knots in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines. These rules apply in differing degrees to most of the knots, splices and hitches formed in multi-strand materials, such as Dacron, Micron, braided nylon and wire or cable leaders.

RULE 1: Be thoroughly familiar with all the knots you tie and continually practice the tying of those knots.

RULE 2: Always lubricate knots before tightening them, either with saliva, water or another similar lubricant. Knots tied in nylon monofilament, copolymer and cofilament lines are highly susceptible to heat friction.

RULE 3: When tightening the knot, do so gently but firmly. Do not draw the knot quickly as this can generate heat damaging the line. Give a few test pulls on the newly tied knot.

RULE 4: If you are not happy with a knot, always re-tie it until you are satisfied. Remember that a knot is effectively the weakest link between you and the fish.
