  • Hey Steve, nice video.

    Couldn't you just double up the material on the insert/exit point for the draw line, and ditch that grommet. Seems to be that the grommet is probably 1/3rd of the weight and not really necessary.

    I have Spectra cord inside of all of mine and if anything would cause the CF to tear it would be Spectra or Z-line, but it has never caused any issues.

    I just think you are over engineering yours with that grommet.

    Anyway, nice video that I am sure will help a lot of folks!

    Hi Redwood, good catch, the eyelet is not the only solution and maybe it is overkill. There was originally a scene where I explained this but cut it out to stay under 10 min. In the past, I've sewn a buttonhole, glued a ring, or simply added a piece of fabric. Bottom line, just make sure you add some re-enforcement for the cord. I got the eyelet idea from Dan on BPL - looked clean. My 3/16" eyelet w/washer is MUCH less than 1/3rd the weight - closer to 1/85 or 0.06 grams :)

see all
