I want to splice some of this. Normal class 1? An could could someone help me out with the measurements? Never spliced an e2e.

It is a class II double braid but in an eye to eye its acceptable to use class I instructions. For measurements, I use 3/8" fid for tail, 3" for the eyes, and you lose about two inches when you do the second eye. For example, the first eye is done, measure from the end of the eye (not the throat, but the total overall length) and mark 32" and 35" to make the second eye and the fid length for the tail and you should end up with a 30" eye to eye (finished full length). Make sense?
Have fun, the slippery high-mod core makes buries and home runs quick and easy. I love me some AP.

Just alittle confused on the measurements u use. where do you make ur marks on the cover, what mark do u pull the core out, where do u make ur marks on the core? Splicing some PI at the moment. Thanks for the help

I use Samson instructions for the most part on everything I splice. One fid, mark 1, 3" mark 2, core pulled at mark 2, small fid mark 2 on core small fid plus full fid for mark 3 on core, cover goes in. 8 pairs from mark 1, makes mark x, 5,5,5,5,5... for cover taper, yada yada.
