Nice! I was listening to Lets Talk Hook Up today and the guy who landed that 400 lb tuna also used a SD Knot.... Gotta look that one up.

Damn izor line!!!!!!!! Billy, that's a good lookin' knot which boat was the 1st prize for? Btw did you check out the phenix booth and see those 1007 blanks, they were a prototype they looked nice.

At least you know you can win next year! 90lbs is a pretty impressive knot with 60# line, it'll give you more confidence for when you're out on the water :P

Thanks Jim, its an addicting fishing sub-sport.

tunaseeker - everyone should use a SD, Uni, or Irwin in some form or another IMO.
They don't break easily, even when tied in the single line configuration and can remain small enough to draw a bite from picky fish.

Kev - thats a special SD, not your average double SD. Its hard to tell in the pic, but there is a secret hot sauce in there and its lubricated with Porter before the draw.
-I don't remember which boat it was, but I had already said I would donate it back to The Izor guys for more Rollo's benefit. I need some good karma right now - my fishing arm is out of service for awhile.

swank - I might have a chance of winning, but there are additional factors to consider in line variation and diameter throughout the spool.
-Technique is definitely the #1 factor, you have to tie these knots with great care. Line strength will vary throughout the spool, so you need some luck too.
