The right tool for the job
Hello,
If you have to cheat tail length, it is one indication that the material is wrong for the job; reducing tail below 21d. means reducing security to a leve that a smaller size of rope could handle, so why not use a smaller rope?
Better yet, make a grommet in Spectra, or a pendant with multiple Brummels. Both will be easier to work with than wire, and probably be even stronger than wire.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
