deathb4disco: I was using the improved clinch knot, but I switched to the Orvis knot this spring on my *cough* spinning tackle *cough* and I like it a lot. It seems though that you may be right. After 30 tests between the Perfection loop and the Orvis knot, the Orvis is leading 29 to 1. Next up, the Surgeons loop vs Orvis.

CTCaneman and rainbowchaser: The good thing about this experiment is that it's making me practice my knot tying. My knots do seem to be getting stronger and I'm definitely getting faster at making them.
