Beeline 8MM core and sheath eye splice

[Worthaug]

Class I double braid instructions used to splice Beeline result in suitable breaking strengths for hitch cords (basket configuration).

The middle eye splice is what I'm looking for. Which of the"MANY" instruction videos shows how to do the middle one ? Thanks !

The attached photo shows 3 examples of what you are talking about. Two of them are well used and the third is one I made this morning just to refresh my memory. There is no on-line video of how to do these splices that I am aware of. But if you know how to do a Class 1 double-braid splice in polyester rope, then you have what you need. The only difference is that you do a long fid bury of the core above the eye. For the cover taper the 5-5 pattern is fine. Although these splices do protect the core strands, they are a bit fatter than the naked splice with a Brummel which can make it a bit difficult if you are trying to cram both eyes in between the jaws of a Pinto pulley. If you want to make one of these that is 28" long, do the first eye splice and lock-stitch it so it can't move. Then cut the cord off 39" from the end of the eye to do the second eye. Do good lock-stitching!
