Amsteel Jib Clew Pigtails

I made this in about half an hour one evening. This is a mock up, I made it too long, and had to make a new one. The stock Hobie blocks are now Harken Carbos, and the Walmart green line is now dacron. I replaced the fancy crown knot with a figure 8 knot on a bight. I also used some braided spectra 65 lb test fishing line as a "trip" line to help open the soft shakle style eyes.
