P-Line leader with no problems (that is, of course, except trying to get the tuna to the boat!). I use 12 turns up/down on the leader. I've never broken this knot.

Who's Matt?..I see that you copy and pasted this response from another thread also (Knots..Knots).

Boiler,
Thanks for the info. I'm about a crap knot tying fool as there is. I nailed this one first time out with the pics and repeated it several more times. I wish I had read this before my tuna trip when my other go-to knots were slipping on the spectra. Thanks again!

No worries glad to help.

Yes easy not . I am wondering if anyone has come up with a open loop knot for mono that can be used to do loop to loop wind on leaders.
The bimini has nearly 100% (more than 100 % with Momoi's Diamond) on everything I have tested.
Man that Momoi diamond is strong **** ! Test well beyond it stated strength as everyone says. I kind of like that .....like getting more than what you paid for ; ) .

Triple Surgeons will provide you a loop in about 1/100th of the time. Also on your bimini how many times are you wrapping it? If you're doing more then 12 you're waisting your time, I have seen the results of tests with a machine and 12 tested better then 25-40 like most people believe.

There is also an article in one of the fishing mags that will confirm this, once I find it I will post the Mag name and issue.

In my experience I do just as well with the triple surgeon like BOILER said. Ray Charles could tie it. (Yes I know he's blind and dead.)

Whats modified about it? Same knot I've used for years and always just called it an albright
