This is a good knot always has been for offshore preparation but on the quick n easy style I'll always prefer the a style of knot that u can put together in under 30 seconds & if u always double ur braid u won't be prone to breaking off anything shy of tuna & really not even them .
This knot shown is designed for big game on light tackle not required for most bottom or inshore applications
Always if u can run some knot sense over knot to fill in gaps especially if u wind ld over braid .
This may not increase knots strength but it'll pass thru guides easier ! Even then if u re rig on boat u will,not want to worry about this !!
