The Offshore loop is used to create
a reinforced loop in a leader. It works well with monofilament
or stainless steel cable.
To form an Offshore loop
first thread a crimping sleeve on to the line. Then make
an overhand knot in the line to form a loop, and pull
it to the required size. Pass the line around the loop
a second time and thread it back through the crimping
sleeve. Using a crimping tool carefully swage the sleeve
in place.
For added
security when using heavy tackle you could use two sleeves
and wrap or haywire twist the line around itself before
swaging the second sleeve.
