Is the uni knot a sliding knot?

Would it work ok for hook in loop fishing?

no t sure i understand your question, the uni knot tightens down to the eye of the hook, and if you mean will it be ok for tying a loop so you can attach you hooklength to your main line via "loop to loop method" then no it would not be a suitable knot for that you want to be looking at the drop loop knot ! thats the one !

sorry if i didn't fully understand your question hope this helps you.

ive had to do that before and i find because of how you use a loop and the tag end sits off at a funny angle your best best is to do it the old way and tie a small bit of light line to the bend of the hook.
but personaly given the option its best to just get some eyed hooks and use a knotless knot

I use that knot with just a slight minor change which to describe confuses me but would show you at any of the social events, and yes it is a goodun as i have landed fish into late 30's on 12lb line with it...

just the same as a normal spade hook just do a over hand knot so you end up with a hair where you would normaly trim off the loose end

Know your knots Spade(1)

or you can just add one of these

Know your knots Korum-preston-korum-bait-arrows

Korum Bait Arrows they hook directly onto your hook for instant use or tie onto a hair rig. Superb when fishing with soft paste.
