The rope is probably Zing-it which is a hollow braid that is spliceable. You put the line through the Dutch hook and then splice the line. It was probably made using a locked brummel.

a lot of folks use a locked brummel. thread the Dutch hook onto the line before making the locked brummel.

Thanks guys!! I bought a 100' mini-spool of 1.75mm single braid dyneema, can I make the locked bromel with this cord? Or does it have to be zing it? The step by step illustration was extremely helpful. If I have to have zing it where can I buy it?

Zing-it is made of Dyneema so it's probably the same and therefore spliceable.

Oops! I didn't see that you said single braid. Have fun splicing!
