Fed up with my donkey dick and want to attach a carbine hook or something similar to the spreader bar, so I can clip in/out easy and not have it come out unintended (which occasionally happens with the donkey dick). what's the best knot to use to get a tight fit to spreader bar? Could use a metal attachment but think I'm better using rope?
Thanks

I would say bad idea. If something is wrong with your donkey dick or spreader bar, buy a urethane hose of appropriate diameter (super cheap at any hardware store) and jam/force it over the donkey dick to make it stiffer and / or longer.
Wait, that came out wrong... I didn't mean... like.... OK now I have to wipe the mental image off me

No one wants a floppy donkey dick.

No, it's ok. Lots of attempts have been made with a "hardware store enlargement". Some have even produced "impressive" and "highly functioning" results.
Sometimes it is not how deep you fish, but how your wiggle the worm.

Just use the QR to open the chicken loop then run the chicken loop through the spreader hook.

thats the version with a rope slider....loving this set up - easy on the hips and allows you to twist more to go up wind better and toeside....

whats great is that the kite can not just detach on it own...ive had two every expensive repairs due to accidental unhooking!
