### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Concise, comprehensive guide to working with synthetic lines
*by L***. on June 16, 2016*

Modern lines are stronger, more flexible, and slipperier than traditional natural fiber lines. Most modern lines are braided rather than twisted, resulting in different splicing and knotting techniques. There are a bewildering number of synthetic line brands and types. Splicing Modern Lines defines products such as Spectra, Vectran, and Dyneema, and describes advantages, disadvantages and applications for each. This book has step-by-step instructions for various types of splices such as eye or lock splices. What I found most helpful were the appendices which contain tables and formulas for applications such as how to determine the mooring line size by the length of the vessel ( vessel length in meters plus 2 = line diamater in millimeters), and breaking strength tables. Particular attention is paid to each line type's susceptibility to UV degradation. This book should be in every sailors', riggers', mountain climbers', rescue responders', and contractor's toolbox.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Book, Well Written with Clear Illustrations and Photographs
*by R***L on August 11, 2018*

For some reason, this book took a long time to arrive but we aren't here to rate the delivery; we're here to rate the product. Likewise, the book is on the pricey side but, we're not reviewing the price.As an reference and instruction book, it gets 5 stars all the way. The photos and descriptions are clear and easy to follow. It covers just about every type of splice in any material. The print quality is crisp and the paper has enough weight that I think it will last many years of reference.If, for some reason, I lose this book, I will replace it. No question.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Splicing, learn it here.
*by J***D on March 7, 2021*

This is one of the best books on splicing that I have ever used. It is my go to book about splicing rope and cable. It is very detailed about using some of the newer ropes like Dyneema, Lash it, and Zing it. If you are a Sailor or just someone who wants to learn about splicing then buy this book.
