And remember that fly fishermen usually use the Perfection Loop at the thicker end of a tapered leader. At a guess it could lose 90% of line strength and still be stronger than the knot at the thin end of the leader attached to the fly. Carp fishing with a length of level line is very different.

Exactly right.

I fly fish for big , ugly sal****er fish and use perfection loops in lines over 40 or 50 lb. Never in lighter stuff.

That's an interesting edit.

Substitute ‘marine' species. Eg tarpon and giant trevally.
