Daho Looping Splicing Needle

Daho Looping Splicing Needle

Daho Looping Splicing Needles are mainly used to insert one piece of spectra line inside another. They can also be useful in 'opening up' the inside of the hollow spectra line so larger tools can be more easily used. Instead of being hollow inside, the loop splicing needle has a wire loop attached to its trailing end.

An image showing the detail of both ends of one DaHo Looping Splicing Needle is provided.

The needle is inserted into the Spectra line being spliced, and the end of the other piece of spectra line is inserted into the needle's wire loop. As the needle is inserted into the line being spliced, the other piece of line is pulled along with it. When done, the needle is brought out of the line being spliced, and the end of the line attached to the needle wire loop is tightened to complete one side of the splice, or the terminating loop, as the case may be.

Typically, thicker walled tubing is used for these needles, as the focus is not on the needle's internal open size, but on strength, and the always important overall small size. The primary size of the needle is the OD, or Outside Diameter, and what sizes of spectra lines it would best be used with.

XS(LS0250): OD Size: .0250"/.635mm / Spectra Sizes: 50# to 80#

SM(LS0355): OD Size: .0355"/.90mm / Spectra Sizes: 60# to 130#

MD(LS0420): OD Size: .0420"/1.06mm / Spectra Sizes: 80# to 200#
