    this is why, thank goodness, opie from whoopslings puts a glass bead at the loop. i would have pulled that thing out at least 6 times had the bead not been there!

    A simple way to protect existing whoopies is to take a short section of string and tie it in a loop in the whoopie's adjustable loop.

    Thanks,
    Take a look at this thread for a discussion and photos of different preventative methods.

    I use this method from that thread.

    thanks!

    Thanks for the link. The pictures really helped. Looks like I will add a little bit more to my whoopie slings.

    I happen to be a knot-hobbyist, so I have this item on hand already, and I know some fly-fisherman use them too. A hemostat is an awesome tool for whoopie-sling making, and repairing.

    While making the DynaGlide WS I recycled some polyester sheathing from a section of remnant line. A soft shackle "stored" in around the loop of the older WS keeps me from lost loop syndrome. A few extra grams to the WS mass, but serves as my backup soft shackles.

    I use soft shackles to attach my whoopies to my tree straps, so I just leave the soft shackles connected through the whoopies to prevent this.
