Default How long is a "fid length"

And whose fid? Most splicing instructions say "measure x fid
lengths" but seldom state it in inches or rope diameters. There are
several makes and different lengths of each but there are less fid
sizes than there are rope sizes so how would you define a "fid length"?



Interesting question. I can only guess but I think a fid length is the
fid you're using I suspect the variation doesn't matter except how
hard it is to make the splice!
