Rope clutch for line dive buoys?

[glubglub]

Hi all,

I'm looking for info which rope clutches do people here use for line diving buoys? And which store to sell them? The weight we use in the end of the line is 25 lbs.

Thanks!

Try tying the end of the knot with a knot. Otherwise, go to a good fishing Supply House and ask them for Tuna clips or halibut clips, or whatever. They are used to connect side lines to a longline.

We use a sailing "fiddle becket" or "fiddle block" here. Something like this: http://www.burnsco.co.nz/shop/shop-...ronstan-ser-50-fiddle-block-cam-cleat-rf51530

It makes it easy to raise and lower the line.

These things are usually setup for much greater loads than we will place on them so I imagine getting one to suit the dive line diameter would be more relevant (although check out the design loads anyway).

For spearfishing? If you might want to try posting in the spearfishing equipment area of the forum.

Perhaps this is what you are after: http://www.neptonicsystems.com/floatline-clutch.php

I don't think the OP was thinking of Spearfishing. He mentions "line diving buoy" and a weight of 25lb on the end.

Ah yes, I see that now. Well, he/she might still be able to use the neptonics product (or make one, I think I saw a discussion somewhere on getting the mesh tubing which forms the clutch) as it designed for handling large fish, 25lb should be fine.
