Default knots that'll stay tied using poly rope ?

I'll whip the ends with electrical tape but what particular knot would
you use, given my application ?

Gratefully,
Courtney



When I worked in the GOM for a diving contractor we used that
yellow/oranag poly often for attaching a bouy to a pipe.The stuff is
very slippery. The constant motion of the sea will work harder than a
raccoon to undo most any knot with great success. There are two knots
that I have used for poly in the water:

1) The Poly Knot, to make an eye with braded or three strand.
2) West Coast Dungi Crabber's Bouy Knot, to attach two bitter ends of
similar size three strand poly.

Would you like instructions?
Bob


Yes, PLEASE ...:-)

Thank you.
