Grief for not using wire core.

[Brett]

Everything has its use in the right place. I hear you on the rigging point placement. I just don't like having them on the stick. I always have the option of resting with the line choked off too. I guess its whatever gets the job done for you and everyone is different:001_smile: Andy makes a good point about doing what your employer wants. Good thing I'm self employed:thumbup1:

 

Exactly.

if you knew the guy i used to work with, you would understand:laugh1:

 

Actually, when i think about some of the guys i used to work with............

 

just sent a wee shiver down my spine thinking about the time one of them ran off the end of his rope into a laurel bush. Shambles.

Yeah I know, everyone's rubbish except you.....(And me of course!)

Me and you Le Sanglier, we'll show them all.

Warning:

 

For those using wire core fliplines - I replace mine every year now.

 

Used to go by any outside nicks on rope etc. and as I was careful was getting several years of use out of a flipline. One day about one foot of cable slipped right out of it’s rope jacket. Appeared to have been breaking a strand at a time over some time.

 

As soon as someone is ‘splicing’ the snap and thimble end with the wire and rope both through the compression fitting on (5/8 in,) rope, I will start buying those.
