Poly rope, because it floats, is great for stern lines which are needed on
crowded anchorages. Rather than tying it off, we loop it though a ring or
around a rock or tree and back to a cleat on the boat.

Poly is also used for painters, in which case it is spliced to build to the
bridle.

If you do need to tie a knot, you might whip the loose ends. Cut the whip
to untie the knot.

BTW - to what purpose will you use poly line.

Thank you,

Replace the poly rope with something reasonably decent. Poly does not hold
knots, and deteriorates quickly when exposed to the elements. It DOES
float,
which is helpful for some light duty uses, but the junctions need to held
be
secured with more than just a knot.
