That’s an interesting edit.
Substitute ‘marine’ species. Eg tarpon and giant trevally.

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.

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.

Agreed. Fly anglers will sometimes risk a perfection loop when accurate casting is absolutely necessary. I think that using perfection loops would ruin my enjoyment of carp fishing because the relatively weak knot strength would weigh on my mind

Inefficient as in a 100% knot in 12 lb line breaks at 12lb.
the perfection loop is closer to a 50% knot.

I don't get what you mean by inefficient? anything over a 12lb and i have never had a issue with them and as OP stated its for a boom on a ronnie so guessing it would be heavier.

Perfection loops are fine in heavy line - but it is a very inefficient knot so not suitable for lighter lines.
Try a non-slip mono loop. It’s much more efficient and furthermore you can regulate the size of the loop as you tie it.

Perfection loop knot is also a good way of doing it.
Slightly more complicated but stronger and imo gives a better presentation of the loop.

Surely "sorry you are correct" is what you meant to say?

Yes your right its quite ironic really as load testing and calibration of load cells is still part of my job we no longer actually calibrate scales on site as due to bsi regs we have to have an external company in to certify them
