    Broken sling

    I know very little about double braid because other than 4 eye slices I made on some 3/4" Plymouth I haven't been around it much .The splices were made by simpley following the directions and lock stitched .Had I not had the directions in front of me I doubt they'd have came out so good nor...

    Broken sling

    If I read that correctly you have a 15,000 steady pull doubled twice ? That would be 60,000 . The sling has eye splices which should be what maybe 60 percent more or less of the line strength or is that the rated load given for the sling ? If it was a single part hook up it sounds to me it...
