All braided lines have worse knot strength than monofilament, and knots for braids typically require more turns and wraps than regular knots. Good knots tied with Platypus Lo-Stretch give 100% knot strength, excellent knots tied in braid give 85% knot strength. Platypus Lo-Stretch is more cost effective than Braid, roughly one third the price of Braid.
