the biggest issue with any of these knots the fact that when repeatedly they
get wet and dry out the tend to set and the the slip part locks or hard to coax
out. If you get salt added to the situation, worse. The best solution is the
electrical tape or small stuff that you can brake when pulling on the trip cord.

contact at the trough.. Don't bring the rubber duck alongside in that

let go!
