G'day folks.
I'm replacing my sliding rope on my dyna bar (actually just adding a second length).
I'm oK with knots but not great
Any ideas on the best knots to use to attach to spreader ends.
Would prefer something lashed off rather than a stop knot
but open to advice.
Cheers in advance

Cheers for the replies.
I assume your talking about a stop knot through the spreader with figure 8.
I'm not using the original drill hole that is in the dyna bar, rather the dyneema straight through the spreader loops.
Thats why I was prefering a lashed style knot, like a fishermans loop or something as the figure 8 was a little bit sloppy.
The original rope is still not too bad but I figure it was finally time to rig a second rope, for a backup.
Anyhow, I'll have a Google sesh and see what looks good.

Try Grogs Knots - best knot app I've seen. Has excellent slow motion video on how to tie the knots. If you are worried about it coming undone, either sew the end to the standing line or whip them together.
