Thanks Dave, I do that too! I picked up that trick from you already lol.I know it sounds like I have a sock fetish, not too unlike you CROC boys, but if you will cut a small hole in the toe, slid in on above your tether, then pull id down and over once you are locked and loaded it really does hide the ropeman1 very well. And kids socks are cheap and easily replaced. Just a simple solution so you don't have to keep messing with tape and reapplying - been there done that.
