I am going to be replacing the cable on my two downriggers and I thought i would use the tuna cord for the final 6 feet or so. I am not sure how to go about connecting the cable to the tuna cord. When I was at moutcha bay their rental boats ran cable and connected it to the tuna cord. I should of taken a picture of their setup as I can't remember how they did it. I think they just used a knot to connect the two which then acted as the stopper.
Have any of you connected cable to tuna cord? Is their a certain knot that works better for attaching cable? I am worried that if I use crimps they will eventually fail from constantly going over the pulley. I ran a few searches from the site but it appears most people use braid. Anyway, look forward to your input.
