Hitch Climber

[Pedroski]

Put a band around the loop of the bowline to keep it all tidy then nothing will poke through it.

I clip in to a barrell knot (double fishermans?) and have no problems

[breffni]

Would it still not rub? Any chance of a pic??

[josharb87]

Yeah it rubs, well touches, but just on the legs, doesnt affect the hitch. i'll try for a pic tommorow

Plus you can keep you're retriever ball in place with a splice. It looks good with a splice and if it looks good it will be good as they said about the Spitfire.

 

Did they really say that about the Spitfire?

I have a length of cord with a fishermans either end which I'm going to use to have a play with a VT....

Here's a picture I found of a hitch climber with a friction cord tied with fisherman's either end... should suffice til you get an eye to eye...

I use another length of the same thing with a VT on my lanyard.

Why do people have tails so short on a fishermans?
