Cam Cleat 101

I ended up getting the Schaefer cleat from Dano and installed it on my stick. My 1/4in amsteel slips through it. Have y’all found that? If I full bury it will that solve it? Or just buy more rope.

Yep, full bury will solve your problems... I used Luke Dautel's 3/8" full-bury rope he supplies to DanO all season and it works like a charm.
 
I used this one. Probably overboard. I was just playing around while I waited for the Ultimate One Stick.

It didn’t come with hardware.

What hardware did you use? Also how did you attach your rope to the stick?

I drill a hole 1/4in for 6mm rope through the side of the stick then feed rope through and tie a stopper knot.

I have also done two holes same size and tied a figure 8 follow through.

Some tie a poachers knot directly to alum tube... I don't have an example of that.

Make sure there are no sharp edges.

Where exactly do you drill the hole? On top of the cleat? Middle? Below? I was wondering about this. Does it hold pretty well? The stopper knot one.

I did it in between the holes for the cam cleat hardware just on the other side wall.
 
Catalyst came up with a great way. They have a dowel behind the cleat and clearance in the side to attach to. I don't currently have a good pic of it.
