![]() ![]() Tim from sherrill admitted it looks better than ones spliced from Sherrill. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't want it perfect. It usually gets started and it takes me awhile till I do the final tuck, its just a ?. I believe I am going to get it pre spliced and then add my own stitching. I am in need of some new climbing line and my choice will be fly. I have a practically new yellow jacket has been out one in the two years that I had it. I haven't really went back to a 16 strand for climbing since it came out. Its like haveing kids you need to keep a close eye on it. I agree that it takes a little more tending. I love 16 strand for pulling and rigging in situations where I need to keep a piece up and working in close tolerances.Īs for the fly I love it. I believe the dynammic qualities are what keeps it from getting retired as quickly as my 16 strands for rigging. This variation of the Brummel Eye Splice is necessary when it is not possible to work with both ends of the rope to complete the splice. It seems to wear really wear and take the abuse of burning it up. This method of creating a Brummel Eye Splice is recommended for 12 strand single braid high modulus fibre ropes, namely our SupreemX-12 and Vectro-12 ropes. I wasn't a big fan of the true blue at first but after using it for about two years straight now I am starting to like it. The Blue Streak family is prolly the winner here but i would never discount any of the NE Safety Blues, i think in time Yellow Jacket will prove itself more and more. I always thought that True Blue lasted a long time, a premium 12 strand if ya want such a line. So ithink those stuffer fibers give the line the lower strength artificially, but hits the diameter requirement True Blue and Tree ProRed, are stronger, softer lines from same manufacturers respectively without the pololefin. I think Samson ArboPlex and Wall ArboPlus have the polyolefin(sp.?) fibers that are hamburger helper filler fibers that are brittle, more heat sensitive and get 'raggedy' slowing things down even more in a 12 strand. The 16 construction, is 'rounder' as a stop sign is trounder than a square, so i think the friction hitch rides smoother IMLHO ![]() i remember a long time ago, a local dealer calling the 16 strands 'fast lines' and recomended trainees use 12 strand. The 12 is less round, knubbier perhaps easier to grip in hand for ground man while rigging, pulling your self up etc., harder for friction hitch to slide. Once all of the tucks are completed, place the splice on the floor and roll it back and forth under your foot to smooth. ![]()
