Although I have seen big grips looped without anything, and no
apparent ill effects, on the PLP web page they show a minimum radius
they want.
Even some thimbles would not do if you take their page straight.
See: http://www.preformed.com/td/pages/pdf/9_2.pdf
Table one below the picture of the big grip lists their minimum
radius.
Their reasons are contained in text above the table:
"Hardware used in conjunction with Big-Grips dead-ends should have
smooth contours, ample groove clearances, acceptable diameters and
sufficient strength TO MINIMIZE ABRASION AND FATIGUE OF THE LOOP
AREA." [Emphasis added]
