My own ghetto tester is my rockfish ganion.

I tie my own with dropper loops in 40# Big game & clip 'em to 50# Spectra main line.

I can tell ya the dropper loop knot is hella strong. Never had one break on a feesh and pulling out of the rocks is generally a major PITA from a PB & not much better on a sporty.

Never had the Spectra break, BTW and I use both PP & JB.
