[quote=Wolfman]Hey Everyone
Sorry for starting so many topics lately but I`m planning hard for next year and looking at replacing most of my rigging.
Does anyone run non-wire trap lines? I was looking up line and one of the recommended applications for Amsteel Blue 12 strand line is for trap lines but I can't find any information on how one would replace the actualy trap lines (or even if this is a potentially bad idea). I'm assuming you would have to do a couple of eye splices to make the new lines. I would probably hesitate to use a non-wire trap line due to the risk of abrasion but it would be a good opportunity to learn splicing and get some cool trap lines. Anyone have any experience/opinions?
I have seen some references to even replacing the running rigging on a boat with this or other, high strength low stretch line. Again I can't see this being a good idea without a really good cover material. But it is an intriguing thought considering the strength of some of these high tech ropes is higher than wire rope.
