Brion,
It's a 2:1 initial running 3mm amsteel that cascades to a 5:1 with 9mm salsa,then falls to a ratchet block to exit the boom, then another ratchet flip flop block to trim from. The issue is the salsa is too large for the blocks and pulls itself into a large rope plug that keeps the line from running cleanly.
If I replace the salsa with 3mm it runs fine, but is far to small to grip by hand, so what I am trying to do is taper the salsa into thin quick running line to keep it from binding. My plan right now is to end for end splice the 9mm into 6mm, then 4mm, then 3mm. It is a little cumbersome and a lot of steps, but other than a machine tapered line I am not sure how else to get it to work.
