Well mad props on the mad scientist work on the knot!
I will be trying to tie it the next few nights for fishing 80lb mono for threshers

Very cool Jim!

Just curious as to whether you've done any testing on the spider hitch knot? That's been my go-to "dropper loop" knot and I haven't had any issues to date. Pretty easy to tie as well.

No I have not. Tried it when I was young and had some issues with it, then never used it again. Could be I was just taught wrong.

Just tried my knot with 20 mono. Very easy to tie with lighter line. Perfect every time. Ten knots all broke the line not at the knot in the 25 pound range.

80lb might not work that well as it may be hard to tighten. I've tried sixty and that works but I have not tried eighty yet.

Tried Spectra...... Very disappointing!! Hundred pound spectra slipped and broke at 75lbs Tied up nice, might try more wraps.

Here's a image I made up if you want to try your own.

Good luck!!

Thanks!

I was thinking about the various posters that might really utilize it and yours was one of the first names I thought of. A easier to tie Bimini type knot is not a hard sell, if your used to using double line, or loop to loop. Looks like I'll have to stick with the Bimini for spectra but I can live with that.
