I see "the splice", which is not much more than an eye splice or back splice, refered to regularity but no buzz on the weave into the chain itself. Weaving the lay of the line through 18 in or so of chain links. Seems like a better way to go, not so much friction chafe to deal with, thereby less redoing.
