Double Braid Class II Eye Splice Modified for TS-II Turbo
SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS
Pull tail out of the rope to expose the
previously tapered area. Remove the d
and any tape at the end of the tail. From
the end of the tail, mark 3 consecutive
strands, as shown. Pull them out of the
braid and cut off close to the body of the
rope. Now, using both hands and the
weight of your body, smooth the cover
slack from Mark 3 towards Mark 4. The
tail will disappear into the rope, and a
smooth, gradual taper should result.
Pull out marked strands and cut off
When nished, Mark 2 and Mark 3 should
be at the same point in the vertex of the
eye—which yields eye size desired.

4E
Measure 3-1/2 tubular d
lengths from Mark 3 on the
core and make Mark 4 on the
core. Insert d and tapered
tail at Mark 3 and bring d
out at Mark 4. You may need
to slide the cover back at
Mark 4 slightly. Pull d and
tapered tail out. Don’t let the
line twist. Use care when the
tail passes the cut end of the
Duravet core.

From Mark 1, in the direction of the bitter end of the line, mark every second right and left strand for 3
strands. Cut every marked strand and pull out of line (tape at end can cause resistance and may have
to be removed in order to pull out cut strands.) Tapered end will now have only 6 strands remaining.
Tape tapered tail tightly to keep from unbraiding.
