Something else you can do is just double the braid and then tie the yucatan knot. I am sure that is not quite as strong as first tying the bimini but it has never failed me and it is quicker to get rigged back up. I noticed that you mentioned you like to use bucktail jigs. If you want give me a holler and I'll give you a few to try. I tie up way more than I can actually use. I use mostly 3/4 to 1 oz heads and flourescent yellow hair.
