Yeah I have been contemplating learning to make and eye splice and make my own trap lines. I'll definitely give mike a PM when I figure out what I'm going to do. I've made so many changes to my boat recently I should probably shake those out first before I do anything else. Also going to order a new maple leaf jib for the 5.7 to replace the one I flogged to death a several weeks ago in a bad blow and multiple failure incident.

splicing 8 strand dynemma or verctran is easy
I would suggest a Swedish fid or Brian Toss tool
the old school fids are not easy nor fun to use
