Pass on the zip-tie attachment.

I lost a torch once because I had zip-tied it to a bold snap. Zip ties degrade over time in the water and can become brittle. They are no good for load bearing.

The cave knot (mentioned previously) is a cheap and easy alternative, that won't snap and can still be easily cut away in an emergency. It is worth the effort learning how to tie it.... There are some good sites online with accurate descriptions.

Great thanks Is this the same rope strenght line on the reel tech divers use?

Yes it is. It's just braided nylon twine, just about any size will do ya.
