The eyes have it!

For standing rigging with Dynex Dux, that is spliced over a correctly designed eye, as long as the tail is buried 72 times the diam. of the line (per Brion toss recommendations). The results have shown Dux to break at the apex of the eye at 90% or better of the rated breaking strength. If you shorten the tail the load will come fwd to the locking tucks and break sooner..
I have never seen an eye break on Dynex or Spectra or Amsteel. It was always in the body of the line somewhere.
