A tow line is made of poly propylene, have you ever used a rolling hitch on
polyprop? Since the material does not have typical characteristic of normal
rope or lines, it does not hold a rolling hitch, it just unwinds itself.
Polyprop is not conducive to many of the conventional knots, including a
sheet bend. Most towlines include a loop at the end of the line. They
sell products that allow you to quickly attach a tow toy to a tow line, but
if you want to save the money use a short piece of nylon line and use a
bowline to attach the two loops. One of the features of a bowline is it
easy to untie after having a heavy strain placed on the knot.

a bend. Several can be found, with animated instructions, at

You could also fasten the tow line directly to the fitting on the
tube. I
seem to recall there being a rationale for NOT taking this approach,
but it
escapes me at the moment.


Or, you could use a hitch, a rolling hitch works well.

Some are, some aren't, Smithers.

Any logical person will use a polyprop tow line for boating toys. Polyprop
floats and is recommended to keep the line away from the prop of a boat.

Kevin, if I said, "some are, some aren't, Kevin" would that make sense to
you? Shouldn't your sentence structure be:

"Smithers,
Some are, some aren't"

PS - you keep using the name "Smithers" for about 10 different people, are
you really that confused?
