Bimini Twist in 50lb Power Pro
Power Pro does not retain any memory. It is always limp. Thank you for your
comments about the big bass. I like fly fishing for bass too. Have you every
tried smallmouth fishing with a light fly rod. It's great fun.
Bonefish leaders are 10 feet long plus the tippet. It's usually windy out on
the flats so the loops are no problem since there is a lot going on.

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
