Best knot for tying eyes into hitch cord?

[scottprice]

I have seen some guys use the poachers knot, but I’m wondering if there are other (better) options.

Planning on using a Kleimheist or VT Prusik on my tether. And a regular Prusik on my lineman’s belt (to sure why this site always rotates my pics)

I’m assuming you’re side loading that carabiner just for the picture right?

I’m with you, seems like poachers knot is the only option. I definitely prefer sewn eyes but haven’t found and with rope smaller than 7mm.

I’m going to use poacher knots with 6mm TRC. If that doesn’t work, I’ll stick with Beal jammy and standard Prusik.

What is the knot that comes standard on the Kestrel lineman's belt?

yessir just for the photo. It feels rock solid and I threw an extra wrap into the distal for mental security. Still moved extremely easily when I need it to. Prusik on the lineman’s will have a tender on it

I might end up using the jammy and prusik for my linemans and tether. So far they are easily tended. We'll see after a few sits. Really like my OpLux tether and LB!

I think they switched to a sewn eye prussik on the tethers and line man's belt based on the photos I've seen for this year's models. I could be wrong though as I haven't seen one in person.

Looks like they still may be using the Emerson 8 or 9mm cord though that was used for a Blake's hitch like last year's model.

Rope Lineman's Belt

Says 10mm for the cord, but I'm not sure that's right. Seems too big to work with Predator and I've ordered that cord from Wesspur and it said 9mm on the receipt they sent me.

DIY Sportsman uses a double fisherman’s termination on each eye in his LB video. It’s bulky but it works. I believe he shows it with a standard prusik and with a distel. I would use double fisherman’s to tie both tag ends together in a continuous loop for a klemheist. Tethrd’s LB and tether have this in their prusik.

I am using the Aero hunter eye to eye it on an 8 mm linesman belt with a 5 wrap VT knot and it works great. It doesn’t ‘look like’ 10 mm. Looks smaller in diameter than my 9 mm htp and I would have guessed it 8 mm but I contacted aero hunter and they said it is 10 mm. In any case it works great for me on my 8 mm linesman.
