Cat anchoring - bridle to warp?

My Lagoon 450 has 85m (278') chain D12 (1/2") followed by 20m (65') warp D22.

I have never been in a situation on a cat where I have used all the anchor.

However, should I need to, what is the most effective way to connect the bridle to the warp?

I would be inclined to use a Dropper Loop as it doesn't bind up.

Other suggestions please.

Re: Cat anchoring - bridle to warp?

A Icicle Hitch or Klemheist Knot (Machard) or a Prusik Knot (Triple Sliding Hitch) Tying would work well.
