Copper splicing tip

[Nailer]

This is not a copper v core, or 32# v 45# tread. Rather just a tip for those that don't have multiple reels of copper.

This is a simple way to turn your 300' copper to a 200' and back again.

Take a old line spool, put a bolt through the hole, inset it into your drill, and run off 100'. I leave the leader, and swivel on. Now just add a new leader, and swivel. When it's time to return it to the 300', just cut the leader off and tie together.

Copper can spliced very easy, simply by doing a haywire twist.

I used 32# Blood Run for these pictures.

#1 Overlap the copper about 2" and twist from the center.

#2 Twist till tight.

#3 This is the same knot/twist after testing the hold strength. The copper broke before the knot/twist moved.

Currently here in West Michigan the fish are running 30-40' down. A 200' 32# rig will run at 40' down, The 300' rig would of been running 60' down, under the fish.
