This is great. I am now going to have to switch lines. I use to love the Maxi UG but have had good success with Ande when I am being cheap. I will have to check out the Stren. For trout fishing I always use the Stren HI Vis in 2lb test. Fun stuff to land trout with. My only question is did you use the single Palomar knot or a Double or Triple. 85% is a great knot failure rating and wonder if it would be better with a Double or Triple. I use the double myself.
