Home made strop??

[not for sale sorry]

I had a wire core strop it just failed its loler. So to save a bit of £ on buying another strop I am thinking of making one my self (not wire core obviously) If you have made your own what termination knots did you use?

[WorcsWuss]

Knots....? Just fisherman's.....

Is it the wire core itself which has failed...?

You can buy plain wire core flip lines with hard eyes for not a lot of money....

If yours has a 3 way snap in the splice, cut the splice to get the snap out and insert a soft link with a larks head knot to the splice in the new strop and then the snap.

You can transfer the rope grab or friction hitch from the old strop to the new one.

He failed the whole thing the grab just needs a new spring wire but the krab is knackard so won't be using that and the wire core is just beaten up and very well used lol I may just do what you said
