Braid has a nicer "hand" but I like 3 lay because I know how to splice

I really don't have a problem with splicing either one. Of course my
ways may be crued but efficient. Tie on the eye or clasp. make a
couple loose knots taking the remainder of the line and threading it
though the knots. Pull tight, then wrap the knots in duct tape.
simple!

Ahhh...the famous "Southern splice." Where did you learn it?
Well, around here it's pretty popular, especially with the jon boat
crowd.
To be a regulation Southern Splice, you have to use yellow waterski line.
