I've been sitting here, drinking my coffee, and making a tarp ridgeline...got one locked Brummel done, and as I was running the line through my fingers to start on the other end, I felt something funny. Upon inspection, there was an irregularity in the Dynaglide...all of the strands were intact, but it was loose, and funky, and "not right."
I prolly could use it for a lifetime w/o failure, but I would always know it was there, so I cut and spliced it.
Lesson: feel it up before you cut.

No, no ,no more wisedom!!! I avoid thinking as little as possible, as it saves confusion of the mind
Don't try to confuse us with facts when our minds are already made up!
More seriously, thanks, cause I wouldn't have thought of that. Just assumed the rope was fine.....too trusting in manufacturing process I guess.

Samson products are the same way. Ocassionally you get a glob of dye...... Or a spot in the braid where it looks like the tension went askew.

I've also noticed places where an individual strand was spliced into the braid - one strand ended and they ran 2 together until the old one ended.
