• 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.
