I've just discovered the Bob Sands knot and really like the profile it presents for going through the guides compared to the RP knot, which is my current go to. I haven't fished with the Bob Sands yet, only practiced many times sitting on the couch. I think I've got it down. It cinches up real nice and looks good to me. I'm practicing with 40 lb mono and 65 lb spectra. Looking at this knot I'm questioning if 12 turns are really needed. I practiced some with 8 turns and it looks really solid. It doesn't seem to me that it could possibly fail with 8 turns, but like I said, I haven't had a chance to put it to the test yet. So I'd like to hear what some of you guys who have experience with this knot have to say on possibly tying it with only 8 turns. Thanks.
