Stitch locking is advantageous on splices to prevent no-loading opening to mishandling.

Material Required- About one (1) fid length of Nylon or polyester button and carpet thread for the spectra you are stitch locking. The same strands cut from the spectra you are stitch locking may also be used however this is a more difficult process.

Step 1

Pass stitching through spliced area near throat of eye as shown.

Step 2


Re-insert as shown pulling snug but not tight.

Step 3

Continue to re-insert as shown until you have at least three (3) complete stitches.

Step 4

After completing Step#3, rotate spliced part of spectra 90 degrees and insert end "A" into splice area in the same fashion as in step # 1, #2, #3. The splice will now be stitched on two planes perpendicular to each other. Make sure you so not pull stitching to tight.

Step 5

After stitching at least three (3) complete stitches as in step #3, exact two ends A&B together through the same opening in the braid. Tie them together through the same opening in the braid. Tie them together with a square knot and reinsert back into the inner core of the spectra.
