I'm looking for a new spliced flip line. I want it 15 feet with steel snaps on both ends. If you are an experienced splicer and want the job contact me. Thanks Pete [email protected]

Look up some of the sponsers on this site bro. They got what you need.
Really!
Like, what kind of rope...What kind of snap... even: what kind of splice?
Look at catalogs and on-line suppliers for different options. You could always learn to splice your own. It's pretty easy.
(send me the ropes, snaps, and how you want it done, and I can probably do it. Providing, of course, you don't send any Arborplex or other non-splicable rope)

I made some whoopie slings out of some 1/8" amsteel. Never done it before. I used a coat hanger and some blue painters tape and a pocket knife.
Dead eye on one end with 6" bury. 10" bury for the adjustment and the buried the tail. Locked the dead eyes with some heavy duty thread and a sewing needle.

I've spliced 3 strand, which is what my flipline is.
Amsteel would be a poor choice for a flip line. It melts too easily. Furthermore, the rope is so slick it would be very hard to climb or use a friction hitch on.
Lean your muffler on it for a little while and you might discover a new route to the ground.

I was just stating I have never spliced any line, and using a coat hanger and a pocket knife I was able to whip up some whoopie slings. Splicing is easy if you have the right tutorial.
The amsteel is for my hammocks.
I have 150 feet of 3/8 inch Amsteel, but I only use it for towing or dragging wood. I can't bring myself to cut a rope that costs two dollars a foot, even if I'm going to make something with it.
Someday, it will make it onto the winch when the steel cable wears out.

Yeah....Its damn pricey. I think I paid $.41 a foot for the 1/8. Ive got some 7/64 coming that I scored for $.15 a foot.
What would you do with line that thin ? Use it on a throw ball?
