Does anyone have experience with using the 12 turn Bimini knot? Sport fishing magazine recommends it for strength but makes no mention of its size. Will it pass through the rings ok? I was looking to use the improved Bristol Knot to attach Fluoro to Braid as this is an easy not to tie if you have loop in the braid.

Thanks

i use bimini twists and have not heard of a 12 turn -24 minimum in braid or more used for large fish or game fish great fun to tie any well tied fishing knot should not make a differance running through guides if your looking for abbrasion resistence youse a longer leader to connect to leader youse a double uni knot keep it simple or buy a wind on leader as to size of loop depends on how far you can spread your knees lol
cheers pete

Using a bimini loop in braid to then attach your FC leader is very, very strong.
