the dog walking crabs are brill for clipping into the eye when finishing the splice and at a £1 they are a must

Nice one.

another one i found usefull

after putting the alpine butterfly in just in front of it tie a simple overhand knot and when milking the splice at the end undo the overhand knot and this stops any sheath getting lost at the butterfly
