    I'm having the same issue with the 2mil exped line, even when i double wrap them
    Especially if it's gusty conditions.

    Raul, I only wrap once, just like the Figure 9 instructions but, I put a slippery half hitch just behind the figure 9. I use 1.75mm Zing-it, which I consider pushing the limit on what the Figure 9 can reliably grip. I've had no slippage.

    In Dutch's gallery there is this picture:

    It shows the tag end passing under the wrap around. Certainly looks like it might be worth a try. If I ever have slippage, I will.
