Splices are nice and nautical, but unless you do them often can be kluges.

We use a bowline with 2 loops thru the link.

Not as strong as a splice , but a min to cut off and refresh the turn of the line.

We prefer short chain (4-5ft) , that never passes the capstan , so a knot is no hassle.

KISS
