It doesn't matter, since it's a short length, and will be used with a dynamic rope.

All accessory cord is static afaiw. Unless you've got some fancy super thin lead lines you don't mind chopping down you won't have much choice.

Thanks guys, I thought as much that over such a short length it wouldn't matter. Cheers!

Most important: size 10 & 11 the knot goes *inside* the hex.
