less picking and double braid is cheaper around here, the couple of times where i damaged the line at the splice i just continued with knot‘s… it is probably more of an issue with dyneema where knot‘s will slip so jobsite-splicing is required… winchlines ..
with a knot tied that’s awful close to what my capstan petrol winch will pull.
also to me it‘s seems like a waste to buy new rope for winching as they get trashed rather quickly, i use my downgraded lowering lines..
only for static situation. a friend of mine ripped of a balkony of an ambassy with 14 or 16mm dyneema rope they bought at a marine supply and did‘nt know that dyneema sucks at energy absorption.
i use 170 foot of snakebite 10mm for my small rigging line, also alot of 80-120 foot lines for natural crotching.
the smallest i typically buy for a dedicated rigging line is 12mm.
