![]() ![]() but that is for nylon or polyester lines. The stitching only keeps the splice from moving under "no load" such as when you walk out your lines. There is no strength derived from the stitching. I don't think I'm going to do anymore stitching b/c I like the brummel better, but I'd like to know for a quick fix here and there. I'd also like to know what others are using for the stitching, maybe my spectra 50lb test isn't enough, but none of the threads have busted in just about a year. Same goes for the stitching, I think you should have a strong fabric, but also some substance so it can take the abrasion. I'd have been better off with 1.8mm or 2mm lines. 2 knots low end, but the wear factor is what I am seeing now. Something I learned building my own line set that I would change is I went with bad ass thin 800lb test center lines at 1.6mm. I am about year into my line setup and I have a couple flying lines with long bury stitching and a couple pigtails too. I used 50lb strength braided spectra fishing line for my stitching. What are you guys using for a lock stitching thread? IIRC there's a point of diminishing returns past a certain length, and 72x was excessive. the bury length - we've had a discussion on here about that too. In that case, get my missus to splice it - she can stick anything to teflon pans. Unless of course you're using teflon coated spectra. It's bloody hard to do when you want to do it. Something would literally have to pick on the tail and pull it out at right angles to the line. IIRC the lock alone is about 50% of the line strength, the properly buried brummell 2% less than a bury and stitch.Ī properly done locked brummell is almost impossible to work out the tail, due to the way it's buried and tucked under the lock point. If it's done properly it's as secure as a stitched line, with the benefit that if the tail does slip out, you've got the lock to fall back on. How about an exotic like teflon coated spectra.shhhhh just made that one up.īut don't post with surety when you are putting someone's life on the line, nor a bystanders health and life on the line, nor with kiteboarding access to a beach on the line. There is no way it's going to pull out regardless of the material.īig assumption. The whole point of a brummel is not require stitching. ![]()
