life lines
Bob,
Thanks for the reply.
If my Brummels are tight and spaced well, I guess the net diameter of the line shouldn't be much larger than the soft eye closed.
I seemed to have a more compact eye splice using one locked Brummel and then a tapered bury as stated in Brion's Field book #5 illustration #14 under McDonald Brummel. Bonus splice. (I do not know if this is the name of the splice, or just an added one in his text).
I like the clean look of the one locked Brummel and the bury if it is strong enough.
What do you think?
If I have to splice at the boat, not a big deal.
One more thing:
I see there is no bury in a multiple Brummel knot.
Is there a compromise on how much to bury if you wanted to go with more than one Brummel, then bury some tail.
Thanks again for your help.
Bob
