Looking for a splicer

[backman]

I have 3 Penn 50's, each with some amount less than 400 yards of Jerry Brown 130 on them. I need to top them each off with ~200 more yards of line.

Looking for someone with a set of splicing needles to help me with the task.

You can splice it the same way you make a loop with a peice of wire

sigh.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

I've hand spliced mono -> braid and braid -> braid many times before using the inchworm technique. If all else fails I can do that again.

I have created loops for many years using the V'd wire trip.

I can do that myself.

I also have many tackle shops run by people I know and am friends with that I can take my gear to and have them do whatever I need.

I am looking to borrow a set of splicing needles, or even better drop by someone's abode who has a set to quickly get the task done.

All you need is a 4-foot piece of #7 wire. No needles required. I'll mail you one if you have no luck locally.

I have 80# and 130# hollow needles you can borrow. But it sounds like your looking for latch needles to splice spectra to spectra?? Can't help there. I use wire. Basil taught me

Hey secret hahba, got latch needles?

[SaltyDog]

I got a needle set you can borrow larry, give me a call anytime

[secret hahba]

yes you always need them when dealing with h.c. latch needles are a must or wire, sounds like backman need to do this on machine so he can get that hollow tight he should bring it to one of his freinds in the tackle bus. tight is right and you gotta go to know

Honestly, i think the Latch hooks are a PITA in anything 130 and under and for colored braid they are even worse..
So i have found other ways to do splices. I like larry's reference to the inch worm method. i think everyone has been there.

I have used Monel and even Yarn darners (Regular Sewing Needles) The monel seems to be the most user friendly.

Larry, if it is Latch hooks you need/want you are welcome to my set, I never use them anyway. as a matter of fact i just let another friend use them yesterday. If you send me your address and i will mail them to you. You can give them back to me this season when you invite me to fish aboard "Skipjack"
