Sami that photo in your earlier post shows a twisty with a single strand of mainline coming out of the loop, can you describe this connection, looks like a cats paw but I don't see any loop as in the other pictures using the bimini.
Andy,
The main line you are referring to is a Hollow line with a loop at the end, i make my loop very small in diameter so they are almost invisible at the finish,
my connection when i use Hollow line is all loop to loop.
the failure of the FG knot is based on catching up to the guides, through excessive casting the line become frayed and all what you need a solid hit from a good size fish and your line will depart, yes it is for sure better then the PR knot but the problem remain the same,
eliminate friction and you are in business
I use the twisty to be my shock resistance as it stretch a bit and i need that forgiveness, my twisty don't run to the spool, i have it set to start toward the middle of the rod and when i cast i will have my finger on the hollow line, which is now 260lb.
i had never ripped any guide out and i don't cast less then 150g lures and at most of the time i am using 200g and above, so you can imagine the load that the line is taking, no issue and no problem to speak off,
i fished with Luke in Socotra and we both used the twisty for 6 days of fishing, we had not had any issue or problem to speak off.
by the end of the day we fish what we feel comfortable with.
