I concur. most all my knots are breaking between 55-75# on the OTI
60# stuff. I'm sure I would get a better percentage if I tied them better

just my opinion, but if a bimini works for you, then use it. I can see it being
a bit longer to tie one, though.
personally, a 20-wrap albright is my go-to. relatively easy to tie on a
pitching boat, and normally tests right around 90-100% when tied right &
glued. not really bad going thru the guides, either. course, I run shorter leaders, too.
