All Gear Pro Force splice?

[Brocky]

A class II cover with a class I core gets a double braid splice, maybe the reverse is true?
Is the core hollow braid , or diamond braid?

I have no idea what a diamond braid is, but this looks like a hollow braid to me.

Yes, that’s hollow braid, and it looks like the cover expands quite a bit.
This is diamond braid, nylon on the left, and dyneema on the right. I spliced the one on the right, 8.1mm Slyther from Imlay Ropes using a modified tuck-bury.
