Works great and no issues here. However, last time on the water I took with me a 2 lb seaguar fluoro leader bought on our domestic US market with the same specs at least on the package than the varivas leader .. I.e 2 lb with 0.117 mm diameter and the knot kept slipping?!? Do you think it’s because of a different coating, flexibility of materials used etc ... I retied everything with a double uni knot instead and worked like a charm ....

I am not sure what you mean by a triple overhand knot. But for years I used what I call a triple overhand knot....actually called it the Trout Magnet. It was the knot displayed on one of their videos and I used it for years with no issues. When I started using ester that knot did not work. I started tying a 3 turn surgeon's knot and have had zero issues. I used Seaguar Grand Max leader for a long time...but I am now out and it is no longer sold in the USA....and I think it is out of production. But I had no issues using that leader with the 3 turn surgeon's knot and ester line.
