On hard pulls using mid-line knots I inserted metal tapered pins into the knot so they were easier to untie afterwards, upon removing the tapered pins. Work good. In the early days I used green hardwood sticks for the same purpose, but some pulls would crush the sticks. Even still the knots...
For mid-line attachment I always used a figure-8 or bowline on a bite. Is there a certain advantage to the alpine butter fly over the two mid-line attachment knots that I just mentioned?
