Hoping to get a bit of feedback on what is the most popular lengths of eye 2 eye to help a manufacture.

 

I have made a bit of a poll up but if anyone uses different lengths than the poll and wants to post the info that would be very much appreciated.

 

Whether it's for a lanyard or mainline doesn't matter so if you do use a few different lengths you can choose multiple options in the poll.

 

Thanks

Mark

Voted for what I would buy but tbh use different lengths for different things

My preference is eye to fishermans then no problemo

I can't see a poll option (on arbtalk app), but I've always used a fisherman's because I like being able to adjust the length.

 

For what its worth, if I was to buy an eye to eye cord I'd probably go for 90cm

Eye to Eyes seem to alter the characteristics of the hitch cord for me, probably because of the buries in the splices, so I just tie my own DF's to suit.

Leave long tails, climb a few times, adjust the length one end, then trim tails to about 1".

There must be a better way?

Not that I've found! Helluva lot cheaper than buying eye to eyes too!

 

Mind you my current AP hitch must be going on four months old now!
