Splicing MegaBraid 5/8"

[P Martin]

Okay, I can do the standard MegaBraid splice in the 12-strand. It's okay but labor intensive...time is money, right?

With this MegaBriad (not the MegaBriad II) 5/8" I could not do a Brummel splice...not enough 'hollow' to clench itself inside out.

Then I tried a LockStitch and was able to fight it through the first three tucks but when it came to passing the bitter end through the interior of the hollow(ha!)braid it really got impossible.

I guess I am stuck with the laborious but successful standard MegaBraid splice where the twelve strands are opened and paired into six tails and tucked from there into a long tapering splice....at least I can do that one. Maybe it will get faster after several more.

Unless, that is. Someone has invented a quicker/easier method.

Ya gotta love the line though.
