The Offshore Swivel Knot |
| This knot is used to attach swivels or
snaps to a double-line leader. |
| |
- Slip loop end of double-line leader
through eye of swivel. Rotate loop end a half-turn
to put a single twist between loop and swivel
eye.
| |
- Pass the loop with the twist over
the swivel. Hold end of the loop, plus both
legs of the double-line leader with one hand.
Let swivel slide to other end of double loops
now formed.
| |
- Still holding loop and lines with
one hand, use other to rotate swivel through
center of both loops, at least six times.
| |
- Continue holding both legs of double-line
leader tightly but release end of loop. Pull
on swivel and loops will begin to gather.
| |
- To draw knot tight, grip swivel
with pliers and puch loops toward eye with fingers,
while still keeping standing lines of the leader
pulled tight.
