Reel Repair by Alan Tani

I watched the video with Capt. John Collins demonstrating this knot, and I would like to know exactly why it's not recommended for line under say #80 test.  If you used it for #30-40 test, why would that be a problem?  The simplicity of the knot is what I like.  Some recommend adding a third wrap, but it's still a very simple knot.

For small line there are many knots that strong but are too bulky to tie heavy line . This knot design to tie heavy line and create a smaller knot ,acceptable strong

I understand why it is used for heavy line. I want to understand why no one uses it for lighter (#30-40 test) line. 

Try it, they slip, I have no idea why but they do.  It is a interesting knot.

But they don't slip on heavy line, right?  Weird.

Lee, what are you using for your braid to mono knot?  I've been practicing the SD Knot these last few days for hooks....  Got it down pretty well.  Now I need to learn a braid to mono knot.  I'm thinking I'll learn the RP knot, unless you think there might be a better one.

I build my own loop to loop topshots so no help here.
