And if the mono is heavy (400lb) then the perfection loop is solid and quick to tie. Also I would not use copper crimps on mono as they tend to have sharp edges and can cut into it compared to alloy.

Ive had only a few clinch knots fail but agree with everything else. Ive had a fair few uni knots fail. For a loop i tie a dirty figure 8. Surprisingly strong. Yip copper for steel as i said
