[Ian H]

[Dak]

Few more from today.

 

Small pinto with AP

 

and large pinto loopie for light light lowering, Ill prob swap it to some tenex when i get some but had this icetail knocking around!

[Dak]

Cover looks pretty soft/loose therfore easier on that samson Drew, am I right?

 

Lovely splicing as always!

Hey Ian, yep that's heat shrink for the label that will go halfway on the Prussic-putting if net the eye means it can get caught when retrieving a bit.

Dak- yeah bro it's a nice loose cover, big thick strands really nice to do.

And liking the ice tail on the pinto, that's exactly what I do to. Nice bro.

[Dak]

Great minds and all that Drew!

 

Bro what are you printing your labels onto? Laser printer yes?

[DrewB]

Really expensive, heat proof, waterproof and tear proof buggers! Heat proof is important as the heat gun on the heat shrink turns normal labels yellow, waterproof as water runs inside the rope and tear proof as let's face it our gear gets a hard life! When I remember the name I'll let ya know bro.

Here is another attempt, need to get the eyes the same size..

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

Is there somewhere one can learn rope making?

[Dak]

Yep the waterproof stuff the printer gave me to try went yellow and blistered slightly, Are you using the really thin stuff, almost like the wrapper on a coke bottle?

 

A name would be top!

 

As for rope making trad, can't help you there, google it. Im sure it'll turn up something

[DrewB]

I think it's made by Avery bro
