Default No Knot Tippet System?

there are a lot of people who ae challenged to tie knots because of
arthritus, etc. and this would be a good system for them. I use a loop to
loop system when I fish and it is not quite so easy. I use the poly leaders
sold by most of the fly line companies which is similar. I find that about
the only way that you can remove the tippet loop form the leader loop is to
cut it off. If there is a big difference between the diameter of the
leader loop and the tippet loop, it is almost impossible to get the
"handshake" connection that Orvis portrays. If you do not get it
perfectly, you end up cutting off the tippet.

I do have my challenges with knots in the wind, cold and low/no light.

Has
anybody used this system before or is it strictly for sal****er?

No-Knots Tippet to Leader System
Never tie another barrel or surgeons' knot! The No Knots Tippet to Leader
System allows you to take full advantage of the turnover power and supple
characteristics of bimini tippets and switch quickly from 3X to 5X tippet
without having to spend valuable stream time tying tippet to leader knots.
Everything you need including 2 knotless leaders with perfection loops on
both ends, 5 knotless bimini tippets on a spool and simple instructions.
