    If you blow up the Orvis image a little, I think you'll come nearer understanding what I think Fishmate is asking . . . the loops in the Bimini on the Orvis tippets look as if the tippet was 'twisted' before the Bimini was tied:

    then the Bimini tied with the twisted line . . . the two loops that form the Bimini appear to be twisted together to form a single 'twisted' loop

    The only thing that immediately comes to my feeble mind is they tie the Bimini, then twist the loop up like an Offshore Swivel Knot
