Splicing copper to itself?

[markmonkey1]

My copper line is fraying (a few broken strands) a few hundred feet into the reel. Is it ok to cut this bad section out and splice back together?

Haywire twist knot for this?

[zackblain]

yeah and a lot of super glue and heat shrink protecting it, copper hates kimks and knots

[markmonkey1]

Where to get the heat shrink? Is that a fishing supply store item or a hardware store item?

Hardware or automotive store

Haywire twist, look on the fish doctors website he has some very good videos

80 lb hollow ace hollow core from Power Pro. You need a needle for threading copper into the hollow core and some 30 lb braid for serving the ends. No knots. Will not slip and is a smooth transition. Holds the copper like a finger trap.

new thing we tried this year on copper knots was hot glue stick ! melt it on with lighter , re-heat the knot and the stuff sucks right into the knot and protects and holds it like the super glue and shrink tubing.

Wrap the ends of the copper around each other twisting and then wrap them with nylon thread around the twisted part (looks like the snell of a hook) and then use super glue on the thread
