I have 50' of 5/16" high test chain*, and was planning to use a snubber with a hook. My thinking is that I will leave the snubber made up to the eye, and hook to the chain as it goes over the roller. I don't know how long to make the snubber, but if it were, say 15' (open to suggestions) this set up would work for about the first 65' of rode. If I needed to secure it to the rode I would probably try something like a long rolling hitch (again open to suggestions).



* I know this is TOO big, and TOO long for an Ariel. I bought it for a good price a couple years ago, and having gone back and forth I have decided to go ahead and use it. Since I know you are wondering, it weighs #60 per my bathroom scale.
