Bimini Twist - Yes or No?

[-Pivot-]

Thinking about practising a Bimini Twist for Barramundi.

Just wondering if anyone else uses this when fishing heavier lines.

Is this the best knot I should be learning or should I have a look at trying a different knot?

mate i have done the bimini twist with the uni knot and then tested without the bimini and there aint much difference but i was using 6lb braid but trial and error will be the best way to find out.

cheers!!!

great knot, we use them on lines of up to 50lb braid and 30lb mono
it gets used for: jigging, trolling, plastics, bottom fishing, floating, spinning and holds up really well...highly recommend it

I used them and plat's when I used to fish for billfish and tuna, they are a 100% knot. I like the plat better of the two. We were adding 80lb to 200lb leaders to 50lb line on fully rollered rods.

For Barra a Uni or Slim beauty would probably suffice.
