DIR SPG/Console?

I sort of agree. But I have found the o-ring/zip tie connection does *twist* off rather easily, at least much more easily than reel line, no matter how big the o-ring and zip tie. Seeing that this clip is (IMHO) subject to more twisting force than sheer pulling force I opted to try out the caveline. I only fairly recently converted over to having this clip tied with caveline, for reasons already covered in this thread. The way I tie this knot keeps the bolt snap from sliding around, keeps the bolt snap from overly twisting and pinching the hose, and makes it easy to judge the condition of the knot. If it came right down to it I, or someone else, could breath off this hose without unclipping it.
