I just do the one step to make.it easier.
I use the Cat5 wire and don't taper usually. However, I have tried the taper and it definitely makes things a whole lot easier.
Hey SnoMan,
I did a Locked Brummel on 1.75 mm Zing-it.
I put a Dutch Hook on the line. I did taper the line and I used a an old "High E" electric guitar string. That is the smallest guitar string. I pulled the guitar string back through the Zing-it with the guitar string end wrapped around a pair of pliers. It was fairly easy. I was surprised. For reference that is a Canadian Dime (same size as a U.S. Dime) next to the Zing-it.

Blue Nose for a Blue Fin? Nice work with the splice.
Dan.
We use .022" diameter stainless steel fishing leader wire all the time on 1.76mm Zing It/Lash It. We fold a length in half and crimp the fold tight enough to hold the line. Works well.
Hey that CAT 5 worked like a charm, and the high E too, once I tapered the end of the line. I think the taper was my problem -- now it buries right easy.
The E string works great. I have used it to redo all my tie-out in mason line. I also use it on 7/64 amsteel as it is very strong. Fold it in half (mine is about 14") and epoxy a bead or something to grip on the end.
:eek:
Open the line the maximum before trying push or pull the bury.
It takes just 30 seconds more, and knitting needles for the task cost <$1@.
What is the largest needle that can be passed through 1.75 Zing-It, #9, 5mm?
