I have 2 new three point spins. I don't like weaving the retrieval line thru the holes. My old spin had rings that attached to the patch, thru the holes. Whats the best way to set the spin up, weave the line or create loops at the patches? If loops are best, how do I create them? Using mid-pole snuffer. Thanks for any and all input.

Use a couple of small nylon rings - http://www.layline.com/product/10643/s

Use a piece of 1/8" cord - thru the hole, thru the ring, back thru the hole, tie an overhand knot.

Thanks Mike. Just spoke with your sales team and they are going to send the rings and some holmenkohl with you to Hatteras for me. See you there! I sail the TheMightyHobie18 with Tiger sails.
