Offshore Swivel Knot
The Offshore Swivel Knot is an exceptionally strong knot to attach a swivel or a hook to a line. If one strand breaks, the other will probably hold. It is often used in conjunction with the Bimini Twist Knot.
Offshore Swivel Knot
1. Thread the loop of the double line through the eye of the swivel and make a twist in the loop.2. Fold the end of the loop back onto the double line above the swivel.
3. Hold the loop against the double line and rotate the swivel through the opening 3 to 6 times – more wraps with light line, less with heavy line.
4. Wet the knot and hold the double lines and pull the swivel in opposite direction.
5. Work the twists down onto the eye of the swivel.
