Hi Guy's
So you think you can make a Bimini twist loop in braid,,, Think again most
slip and then fail at some very low bs. Read more in the
Forum. Paulus

Please Note: Knots that work with Mono and Fluorocarbon lines, may
well not work with Braided type lines.
Line to leader
knot strengths depend
on the mix of lines, some work some won't, more later.
The information here,
and in the knots section works, and the info is beneficial for those
who are struggling with line and knot setups. Paulus

Braid Single = Bx1,
Braid Double = Bx2, Mono = M, Leader = L.
Failure,,, ML
= Mainline. JL = Joined line. K =knot. SL = Slipped line .
x2
= folded
Please note,
The line it's self can break either
side of the knot, and also within the knot.
So you can have a ML or
a JL, then a Knot failure, it will be either a ML or a JL.
Braid to Mono / FC, or

Note:- Always
test the loop knot, to establish it's strength, before testing the
complete line to leader setup.
To improve your
braid knots, run the line between your thumb nail and fore finger a
few times to flatten it out, and to remove line twists. The FLATTER
it is the stronger the knot.
Always lube your
line when pulling the knot up tight.
===========================================================================
Interesting comments, tongue in cheek
I got a nice big fish X lb on X lb line,,,,
Answer,,,, please send me some to test.
I caught this fish on 4lb line,,, well when known it was actually
kg,,, that's almost 10 lb,,, and it tests at 6kg
This is the strongest 12 lb line I have seen,,,, because it was
actually 21 lb line.
This is the thinnest line, stated X,,,, turns out to be double that.
Knot strength is poor on this line, X is better,,,, that's because X
tested twice as strong and thick.
This line is a low cost line,,,, that's because it is twice the
size,,,, and half the length supplied.
Stated thickness, its equivalent to X lb in mono,,,, It's thicker,
and mono varies.
I use only use mono, and fish in 85mts of water,,,, with 3+ mts of
stretch you can actually feel, nothing.
