Default Paddle Leash == Bow Eye: The right knot?

(PeteCresswell) wrote:

But the bowline that I use to tie the leash on to the bow eye seems to be the
wrong knot. It wants to come loose after enough exposure to me floundering
around in the white water.


What kind of line are you using? Some don't hold knots well. Spectra and cheap
polypropylene laid (twisted) rope will untie easily. Polyester braided line
(kernmantle or double braid) will hold a bowline forever as will nylon. Bungie
can come untied if not tied really tight. If you have the right line, the knot
is easy.
