It drives me nuts to have rope and line ends that are frayed and unraveling. I like to see lines that have been neatly wrapped with string...they look finished and very nautical. This does take a lot of time but I think it is worth it. Lines that have been cut with a hot knife or heat sealed is the easiest and it dose prevent unraveling. Dipping the ends in a plastic that seals them is also easy, but I have not had good luck with line ends done this way. It is better than nothing at least for a while.
A knot at the end of the line will work but it is NOT VERY CLASSY !!! A knot will not let you fee it through a block though.
Any way...Wipping the end of a line is a good way to enjoy a beer and take care of your lines at the same time. I recommend a good German dark beer...two even works better.
