Hi guys,
Got a question for you. I have always used the plastic thimbles at the terminal ens where you clip the main line. I noticed you do the figure 8 doubling before you crimp. Do you have any issues with fatigue there from chaffe of the big ass offshore snap swivels most guys use? What are the advantages if any you see from this as opposed to the thimble ? I do the same with metal thimbles on my wire set ups. Am I wasting my money on unnecessary or extra rigging steps? Thanks. |
