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.

Hi Rick, I'm curious how you rig your ganions up.
When you say "clip", do you have snap swivels on your 50# specra main held in place with crimps and beads? Then you clip your 40# leaders onto the swivels?
