spider jack issue!

[Joe Loggs]

hi guys i got myself a spider jack 2 on saturday and took it for a play today, when setting up i realised my rope didnt have a eye splice, this could become a issue as most tie in knots i tried were to big and rubbed up against the spider jack getting in the way also causing in to twist so it wouldnt self tend. so i had a fiddle and tried some diffrent options.

i tried a extra krab to lift the knot above the sj but found that the krab kept twisting when not under load which could potentialy be dangerous.so after i tried this it worked sweet but looks a mess!

is the sj just designed to work with a eye?

Put a soft link in between your bridge and the SJ. Works for me although the Unicender gets way more use on SRT!

Always used a small cut away strop like the picture joe in trees showed works much better than the normal way.

don't forget a stopper knot

band would be better at the other side

[Joe Loggs]

yea band the other side makes sense and a smaller sling.is a sling strong enough for the job?

depends how strong the sling is:confused1:

As long as it,s over 22kn all is good:thumbup:

ok sound, im glad that system is ok to use.

Just a shorter sling and you'll be fine. Yes its a mess but not a problem.
