Splicing braid

[Pete F.]

When I used regular braid I used to use a uni to uni to cure that with no problem. I have yet to have a wind knot with Fireline.

Wait, wait, I know a solution.

Buy some of the hollow core line, maybe at a higher strength. Cut off a 3 foot section or so and use it to splice each end. The way you do the splice is show in the Practical Fishing Knots. Open the hollow braid, insert the broken end, then poke it through a couple of inches along, poke it out of the interior of the the brake, run on the outside and put the end back inside the hollow line...hard to explain. Should be a good splice.

Try it and let us know how it works.
