How to splice an eye / loop in braided rope in seconds. Full version on my channel

The quickest method going to splice eyes in braided rope using a selma fid.
here is a follow up with a basic weight test • How to splice a loop /...

[@virginia2769]

It's not locked, you can easily pull the rope back

​@@beanysfishing2555ughhh trying to do that link and it won't click very frustrating

[@shotty2164]

Enough tension and that’s coming straight out

[@beanysfishing2555]

It holds more weight than you think, its only a cheap rope, its not designed to hold huge amounts of weight kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DPh6WQi5Khoas

[@gs425]

This doesn't work with double braid only single braid. That's because the core stops you poking the fid through it without separating it and doing it the long way. Thanks for showing for single braid tho.

[@beanysfishing2555]

Yes, this is only for single braid splicing

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Omg seriously freaking jaw dropping move here I've never seen and am soooo excited now to utilize this method, sure he'll beats the whole mess aggravation of going through back and forth a million times barley able to pull the strains through tiny Itty bitty holes...dang soooo happy I ran across this video!

[@beanysfishing2555]

hahahaha, you sound very pleased to see this. It does make the job far far easier

[@Christopher-lr8qi]

That’s not a splice and will pull right out.

[@beanysfishing2555]

Well Ive joined damaged top ropes on fishing nets together for years using this splice

[@hildebecker2647]

In my opinion this is not splicing as I learnd. Spling should hold the rope without any glue, melting etc. I wish you had pulled the loop to show whether it is tight.

Cheers Ray, I just dont think they understand the concept and use

[@jesusalvarado4706]

Fuck, that was fast👍

[@beanysfishing2555]

It’s easy with one of the fids

[@royd.7054]

That's a hallow braid, can you do one that's stuffed braid. Thanks

[@beanysfishing2555]

Hello, is that the braid on braid thats usually used on yachts etc?

[@gs425]

​@@beanysfishing2555yep

[@DylanTrotto]

That’s unreal I never would’ve thought that if you just get that tool it’s that fast and accurate to splice braided rope I am curious to see that a splice on that rope is rated for

[@beanysfishing2555]

Well I doubt anyone has rated it properly. Its only cheap hollow polypropylene rope

[@ZsaZsaUmbra]

I think it will hold more weight than it seems because this type of rope is the same pattern as a chinese finger trap, so as tension is put on it the outer rope should tighten around the inner

[@beanysfishing2555]

Yes, that’s exactly what happens. It holds weight pretty well, obviously not serious weight as it’s not designed for heavy lifting due to the cheap braided rope used

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

Really, I thought was way more complex then this 🤯 wonder how strong it is though?

[@beanysfishing2555]

well I join all my nets head rope this way, I have never had one part.

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

@@beanysfishing2555 I'm a custom to the tripletwist for my fishing nets but you my good sir showed me something I long wished to learn

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

Gonna have to get some of this rope off my cousin to try this,

[@beanysfishing2555]

@@BurchellAtTheWharf I find twisted rope isnt that great for nets, as soon as you put tension on it, it twists the mesh around it. The only way is use two twisted ropes together, but thats bulkier and costs twice as much. Tradtionally they used right hand and left hand twisted ropes together on head ropes, but I doubt they even make them now

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

@@beanysfishing2555 your not wrong, with twisted rope, I use them in pairs, or if I'm lucky, a left hand twist with right hand twist hopes keep the rope from wrapping the twine in to a ball, I use to set mackerel trap nets but the local gvt put the boots to it, now it's only a recreational fishery

[@nandojoven]

Straight burying splice needs minimum 1,5 meter splice in that diameter to be efficient and you have to stitch it

[@beanysfishing2555]

Ive used this splice for 30 years, and you cant splice it 1.5m

[@nandojoven]

I only hope you don’t do this professionally because it is pretty fking unsafe

[@beanysfishing2555]

@@nandojoven Its not used for any proper lifting weight. Who would try lifting anything with 7/8mm cheap nasty braided polypropylene? We just use it to attached buffs and join net ropes together.

[@daveanderson2865]

A light duty splice once stitched and whipped would suffice for a tarp tie down.

[@beanysfishing2555]

This is strong enough easily for a tarp. Ive hung 150lb of weights off this splice for days and it never budged. It would take far more than than too

[@jpvoodoo5522]

There used to be a way my fathe used to melt the end to make it permanent. You don't perhaps remember how that was done, do you? What you did is what I want to do, but permanent.

[@beanysfishing2555]

Probably bring the tail end out the side, heat it until it melts, and press it into the rope to bond it I would imagine

[@jpvoodoo5522]

@@beanysfishing2555 , I'm pretty sure that is exactly what my father did. But now that I think about it. There are better ropes/knots I could learn. However, I think I could also use a mini heat gun to slightly melt the tail together.

[@beanysfishing2555]

@@jpvoodoo5522 or put it on the gas ring! It melts it lovely

What kind of fid is this? Can’t make it out with the accent.

It’s a Selma fid

[@xxstepsxx4227]

Lol thats not splice😂 same as u would not glue rope together and call it a knot 😂

[@beanysfishing2555]

Thats how you splice braided rope.

Looks spliced to me. 👍🏾 What weight will it be good for?🤔

[@ljhm6816]

@@xxstepsxx4227 no worries, I do hear ya, that's why I would like to see a weight experiment, whereby traditional splice is compared to these shortcut methods. In the end, you have to be able to rely on your rope's and knots, and I am always open to learning something new 👍🏾

You gotta put a half hitch in and tuck it

Nope, or the netting catches on it.

[@arafuraboys9766]

Name of the rope?

[@beanysfishing2555]

It’s just cheap 8mm hollow braided polypropylene

[@fostergrip]

Please don't do this. If you put your life on it, you'll die.

Oh come on, would you really try lifting heavy weights with cheap polypropylene rope? No, its not designed to lift anything.

That is not even close to being a splice, a splice! the clue is in the tittle

Ive done it for 20 years. Its not designed for lifting equipment. Its for light loads for fishing, such as buoys etc. Ive had over 100kg load on it and it hasnt moved
