I am building myself some tube style floatlines using 1600lb spectra, 1/4-3/8 PVC tubing, and end hardware from neptonics.
Floatline Plugs
Red PVC Tubing 1/4" I.D. 3/8" O.D. and 1/16" wall | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Samson Amsteel Blue 7/64", Foot, Black
The problem I am having is with splicing the final end. The type of splices I am familiar with / I can find online all involve passing either the entire line through, or passing the hardware through the hole made in the splice. Neither of these options are ideal in this case because my floatline ends have heavy duty swivels welded on, and the rings attaching the swivels are too wide to pass through the widest hole I can make in the line.
I am wondering if anyone has any options for creating an eye splice differently to avoid cutting the swivels off. Becuase swivels are great.
I will update this thread with some pictures of the process once I complete building the lines.
Thanks guys.
