These hitches should not be depended on to hold fast under all conditions. With some particularly stiff or slick modern fibers (especially [[Polypropylene|Polypropylene commonly called 'poly']] based lines) they can be difficult to make hold at all. Sometimes it can be made more secure by using additional initial wraps and finishing [[half-hitch]]es.<ref name="tossguide"/> If even more security is needed the [[Trucker's hitch]] is quite robust and can be used to produce significantly more tension if required, albeit at the expense of quick adjustability. | These hitches should not be depended on to hold fast under all conditions.
