Tow rope thimbles
To put a thimble into the end of a plastic line requires the proper splicing technique to make sure the loop does not slowly stretch out.
I have found that a Brummel Splice is the best non-slip. locking loop for a hollow braid rope. The following video demonstrates it on Dyneema, but it works equally well on hollow braid polypropylene. You do need a decent set of splicing fids.
