It’s much quicker to tie compared to the Bimini Twist.Conclusion: The Bimini Twist is stronger than the Spider Hitch, but it was closer than I was expecting.I really can’t thank you guys enough for your entire website and you tube channel!! Would be interesting to see a table of all values for each test, I would be happy to run the analysis and share back the results.
Might not change the results but based on seeing some break above 17 and below 13 for the same knot, its a wide variance. Uses: Attach a climber to their climbing rope when there is no spliced eye. It was also the strongest bend for the Marlowbraid, withstanding 2.6 tonnes, 58%, before failing in the same way as the single fisherman’s knot.
