nicely done "ible". I started fishing way back before monofilament was used by the average fisherperson and was taught this very same knot with 6-8 wraps. There is also one that is more like a hangmans noose for larger line. Over the intervening years I was told that the number of wraps you should use on mono depends on the line size, smaller test using less. It had something to do with friction affecting the line and that you should lubricate the line even if all you have is saliva before tightening the knot. How true either statement is, I don't know, but it's always worked for me. Thank you for sharing
