Hey guys, this is Chris with LakeHub. We're at the dock right here. We just got a great day
0:05
fishing and one thing I was talking with Simon about was line. He's like why do
0:10
you use that line and how do you tie a cleat and all this stuff. So being an
0:14
experienced boater it's all natural to me. So this is a 3 8 inch nylon line
0:18
This is a much, it's actually a cotton line. This is a much better width for
0:23
your hands, easier to grip. It's not so large the 1 inch lines are just kind of
0:27
too large and the half inch lines are just too small. But it's a 3 8 inch
0:32
lines, it's braided. So this is the kind of line I get. I always get the matching
0:38
ones. I got four black lines. The reason I get black is because the white gets
0:42
dirty or the gray gets dirty real easy. When we get up to the dock one of the
0:46
things we like to do is to of course get our dock lines ready before we get to
0:51
the dock. So as we're motoring in through a no wake zone, get our lines out. We're
0:55
here. We got the line hooked up to the cleat. These dock lines come with a, here
1:03
let me, these dock lines come with a loop already built into them. So I highly
1:09
recommend getting those. These cleats right here, I pop up, these cleats have
1:13
holes in the middle so I can just pull through the middle and there we go. I
1:17
have the line on the outside of the cleat towards the dock side. I want to
1:22
grab the cleat, go one time around, one complete 360 degrees around, do a figure
1:28
eight and then when you, I grab, I grab the line and twist it so that the lines
1:33
match underneath the crossing line. See that? And if it looks pretty then you've
1:40
done it right. And then I put a little hitch on here just for safety. Then we
1:45
wrap the lines up, put it on the dock and we're done. Thanks. You guys have a
1:53
wonderful day and catch you next time
