Copper splicing

[sammyslayer]

How does everyone feel about splicing copper? And what method do you use? Thinking of making my 300 a 350. The 300 is being out fished by my 400 about 10:1.

Depending on the reel I like to use a spro swivel. As long as the swivel goes through the guide you are all set.

no need for swivels. back to back haywire twist will do the job

Swivels Definitely fit it's a clarion 55. Legacy-you would trust the back to back haywire twist on any one of your rods? I use shrink tubing as well to keep the twist together.

yup. I hate splices but when its needed a back to back haywire twist is just as good as using a swivel. Its been done many times in a jam.

I've got a 500 copper with 7 splices in it. Haywire twist is fine.
