Splicing Nut

I came across this handy product for all those people who want to put a loop in the end of a double braid line but are unable to do a splice. The SplicingNut is a handy two part plastic fitting which neatly forms a loop in the end of double braid line just by screwing the two parts together with the line inserted. Neat, quick and simple.

It’s recommended for use with soft weave double braided polyester line of the kind commonly available for marine use. The strength of the loop is generally more than achieved with a knot but obviously not as much as a proper splice. The SplicingNut’s strength is greater than the working load of the line and can be used in most situations where a knot or a splice is used.

It’s not suitable for every type of polyester line and the strength of hi-tensile lines such as Spectra will exceed the strength of the SplicingNut. So check carefully before using.

The SplicingNut is available through Deck Hardware who have a list of retailers on their website.
