🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of knots and splices on line strength (percentage of original strength retained) • Difference between a knot (temporary) and a splice (semi-permanent) • Typical use and strength characteristics of long splice vs. short splice

💭 Think About

• First decide whether knots or splices generally keep more of a line’s original strength. • Between the two splices listed, which one is designed to change the line’s diameter the least? • Think about which option would be preferred if you needed the line to still run through a block or sheave without significant loss of strength.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are knots and which are splices. • Recall approximate relative strength: which type of line termination is known for retaining the highest percentage of line strength? • Ask: which method is specifically designed to keep the line as close as possible to its original diameter and strength?
