Sorry for the thread necromancy, sometimes retarded easy isn't easy enough for me.. Two questions- I'm finding it very difficult to complete the bury in the Amsteel line- any fid that you can fit the rope in will not pull through the hollow core, even aluminum fids. Other question- are these eyesplices only secured with the bury and stitching? I don't see any brummel lock on the original splices.Johnny Rotten wrote:Where are ya doug? in North Ameica West marine has 1/8th inch? amsteel grey.... It's the same as the red stuff, For the depower you'll need something metric close to 1/4".... 5 or 6 mm? I can't remember either way west marine has it. Eyesplices are retarded easy on hollow core rope like this.....You can die it red if you really give a crap.

Not sure if you are working on the depower line or the fifth line. I replace my depower lines with Amsteel from West Marine.William Munney wrote:Sorry for the thread necromancy, sometimes retarded easy isn't easy enough for me..
