I have seen references to being able to do this with a Mobius Brummel, but can't figure out how that would work either. I do have access to the other end (about 50' long).

Ideas?

You can do the Brummel splice directly to the tang without the ring hitch.
However, it requires you to pull 50' of line through one of the holes in the brummel. Not impossible, but perhaps annoying.
