Spectra/Wind On Needles
The hollow braided spectra line can be internally threaded, using specialized needle tools, with other spectra line and types of line materials. This allows the creation of a very wide variety of line configurations and capabilities. Due to the braiding process used in its creation, when pressure is applied to the length of spectra line, the braid tightens, applying pressure to the inside of the line. This pressure, over a short length of braid, will bind the line and any internal materials, commonly called a "Chinese Finger Cuff". Using these techniques, hollow braided lines can be spliced together, added on to, and loop terminated with 100% line strength without knots of any kind. These features are of great value when it is needed to maintain lines of specific lengths, or of special needs - such as having heavier, or lighter, sections, or the need to attach different types of ends. If the line breaks, it can be restored to 100% strength without knots - just a simple splice.
