Default Bimini Twist in 50lb Power Pro

I don't know if this comment applies to bonefishing but for big bass fly
fishing I do not normally choose to use any loop to loop connection between
my bass taper fly line and continuous mono leader. IMHO the twin loops make
a secondary topwater splash which tends to spook larger bass.

FWIW instead of any knot losing X% of its rated strength, I am far more
concerned with fly line or leader retaining memory which is a royal pain in
the. g Does Power Pro retain memory?

I am using 50 lb Power Pro on my son's bonefish rod (OK, it's a fly rod,
cut
me a break here).

Has anyone every tried tying a loop in the Power Pro using a standard
Bimini
Twist? I have tied it on the bench and it seems to work fine, but I don't
want to learn that it isn't really a good knot while "on-the-job".

Thanks from Rick
