You can splice eyes in braid but it is a lot harder to do and I am lazy. ;-) 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? |
