This is in Amsteel

In Response To: What material is the line? ()

!/4 inch Amsteel, I did taper and bury the tail although 72 diameters would be 18 inches, I think my tail was only 12 inches on my experimental splices. I was using NE ropes and the Brion Toss book for my guide. Thanks

Question on strength of various 12 strand splicing techniques
- What material is the line?
  - This is in Amsteel
    - You do need the full 18 inches if you want full strength
  - A question on the Modified Brummel Splice
    - It's neither. It's 3" beyond the end of the taper, on the standing (long) part of the line
    - One more thing -- I find it's often easier to pull than push
      - Thanks. Your description is clear.
