[quote=ericweller]I switched my trap lines on my Capricorn to Dyneema when I noticed one of the thimble ends on the wire was beginning to corrode. I made them myself under the direction of someone who knew how to do it. It is very simple to make a spliced eye end and the cost was about $32 (.65 per foot for 1/8" Dyneema) for a pair as compared to $50 for a pair from Murrays. I was able to re-use my handles which helps keeps the price down.
Fun In the Sun (my AHPC Dealer) is telling me I can replace my shrouds with Dyneema, too. My concern with that conversion is that I read that Dyneema stretches slightly over time. I would need to use a tension guage every time I rig to make sure the shroud tension is consistant.
My 2 cents for what its worth.
