yes indeed I am using an gardner anti tangle boom but find at its full length its very tight and fiddly to pull over the loop knot. I prefer to trim it half its length, as it look less obvious. and as such prefer the loop to provide a 2" boom. I'll try the n trap and maybe the new solar coated braid. Thanks for the replies and options gents

I might try the n-trap as I do like the matt dull coating but it does look rather thick and obvious. Kryston Jackal looks a little subtler but for the glossy shiny coating. Im not sure how much difference this fact makes except to my confidence. I find a correctly tied figure of 8 knot plenty strong enough but just struggle with the coating cracking at the loop and negating the boom effect

indeed it is to connect to a quick change swivel. I like the boom type effect a fairly long loop provides, helping to push hookbait and lead apart. I currently use esp stripteaze and have found this fairly resiliant to cracking at knot but was wondering if there are any others even better?

I was just wondering what forum users have found the best coated braid for use with a figure of 8 loop knot? With several I have tried the coating fractures just below the loop knot, even with very careful tightening. Cheers Dave
