It might be interesting to hook that up and put a pull on it to verify, you may already know the answer to that question so I though I would bring it up.

You could also rig it with the mono right through and crimp the thimble and swivel in. Just a thought.

Nice work!!

Bryan, Thanks for the nice comments. I'm 280 pounds and I can swing from it I put airplain cable through one side on a tree in the yard and made a loop on the other. I pulled as hard as I could. It is stronger than the 350 mono
