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? 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.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well that counts me out. My ski line is blue and red ...I think.
