Yes with thirty pound Ande I tested it forty times yesterday it usually broke at 31 to 33 pounds always in the line never at the knot.

In contrast a surgeons loop with the same 30 mono consistently broke at the knot at 23 to 25 pounds.

With sixty pound Ande it almost always breaks between 65 and 70 pounds. Out of twenty tests it broke right at the knot once, but the rest of times it was away from the knot in the line.

This is about the same results I get with the Bimini twist but the Bimini is much harder to tie.

The knot itself is pretty simple. I essentially just combined some aspects of the Tony Pena Knot and the old improved clinch knot but instead of a splice or attachment I just made a loop with it.
