Great work, TubeDude. Well written. Excellent illustrations.
Perhaps out of range for most here, but I have surf fishing line splice questions and I know you have salt water experience. I haven't surf fished yet, but have plenty of vacation time saved up for it.
With my surf fishing equipment I have line in both a selection of monofilament and braids, but I'm also considering purchasing some fancy spectra hollow core spliceable line to use with fluorocarbon leader. The leader slips inside the hollow core of the braid and makes a splice. I vaguely remember using this type of splice deep sea fishing for red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles off from Grand Isle, Louisiana as a child, but will need an update with new technology developments since then and how to select the proper combination to match leader diameter range to the line. It looks like a good system having high splice strength and very sleek flow through eyelets. I don't know enough to make the best choices of a match of line and leader and have been waiting until I find an experienced surf fishing guide to help me make my purchase selections to benefit from likely a lot of years of experience rather than my inexperienced guesses.
I'll need to learn more about the splice method for this type of line. I don't know if it fits your writeup to include some mention of this type of line and splice, but thought to mention it for you to decide.
