Synthetic fibres -- objective performance ratings?

[Bob Pingel]

I do not have the ability to test splices myself, I have had mine broken at both Yale Cordage and New England Ropes.

I have used a tuck splice on single braid dacron -- megabraid or alike. I did six or eight tucks, how many tucks do you take in high mod?

I am guessing that the splice techniques differ in larger sizes of high mod ( I have never used over 3/8"). For instance, if we used Brion's brummel splice on 2" spectra, the bury would be 16 feet long!
