Any issues with it when under no significant tension, where it may slack just enough for the stopper knot to drop back out of the bight causing a release?
Scott Seale . Great question. The short answer is: The stopper knot, in conjuntion with the dyneema we use, prevents any unintentional untying of the knot, even when it is not under strain. More in depth: The stopper knot is tied and coated to be of a size that prevents it from slipping. The dyneema we use has a slight memory to hold the bend's shape when tied. So as long as you seat the bend correctly when tying it onto your shooting line, it will not come undone unless you want it to.

Thanks for the explanation. I do like the soft-eye connections...
Scott Seale never a problem. Thank you for the question
Looks like a sheet bend to me.
