Looking For Advice On Oplux

[Kwfranklin88]

I’m wanting to try an oplux tether and lineman’s belt.
Should I use a kong duck for tether or prusik with tender?
What do you use and how do you have it rigged up?

Kong Duck on the linesmen belt and Prussik on the tether with Sterling 6.8 would be my advice.

I order a figure Aider to go with a schwabisch knot for both my tether and lineman’s belt. I am using sterling 6mm TRC from DanO

This is what I prefer. I had a tethrd tether and the prusik carabiner combo was so long I couldn’t get comfortable. I like my tether at head height and with the prusik slid all the way up I was still in a sitting position. I’m wondering if the oplux prusik is the same length since the rope is smaller.

Well, you can make the prusik as long or as short as you’d like...Are you buying the TRC from Dan-O?

No I was buying the kiss line kit from wild edge

Your tail is going to at least be a bit longer than the sewn portion on the prusiks mentioned, which is at least 3-4in.

CT RollnLock is another good alternative to the long duck for use with oplux. I have a distel hitch backup made out of TRC on the tether and use a distel with paracord tender on my linesman

Can you just use double Ducks?
