Replacing line for a Pro-Line handle

So my dumba$$ friend ran over my brand-new Proline LG line but the handle is still fine. Does anyone know how you go about replacing the line on one of these since its not carbon-fiber handle?

The line attaches through the line that part of the handle and your actual line itself, its just a two loop mechanism, slide one out of the other and voi-la...donesky

Sorry, that didnt quite make sense to me... could you elaborate a little more? maybe step by step.

jfbruin34, Mty friend just did the same thing to my Proline LG line last Monday. I feel for you. What was especially ironic was that I'd just bought the line to have as a spare and liked it so much we started using it regularly. I was glad I had my old line as a spare.

Just follow the line coming from the handle and eventually you'll find a knot (about 2 feet away from the handle.) stick a small screwdriver in the knot and work it until it's loose. Then you'll see how it goes together.

It looks similar to that, you just run one of the ropes/handle through the other loop until they are seperate.

Oh wow ok, so if my friend ran it over at a point closer to the handle that was before that knot is the handle essentially useless?

Oh, now I understand your confusion. Hmm, I think yes? It's probobly useless now, I don't have my handle with me so I can't take a look at it but from memory I don't see any way to replace that rope Crying or Very sad

There's still about a foot of line below the handle, If i were to just tie a know similar to that one you showed above with the remaining line I have (close to 70 ft) do you think I'll be losing anything in response?
