With all of the “superior knots” out there I’ve been exclusively using this knot for over 40 years in both fresh and saltwater. It has never failed me! In fact, I recently landed a 15lb striped bass in the surf on 8lb test. I also exclusively use izorline xxx copolymer line so that helps too. Strongest, most durable line on the market in my opinion… and very inexpensive compared to most other fishing lines. Great knot, great line, win win!
