that was actually awesome to watch and very interesting as well great product 👍🏻👍🏻

Really interesting, I think it would have been better with a commentary on how to do it rather than the music though 😀

Worked great! I followed along and used a ball point pen as a FID on a scrap piece of rope. Looking forward to my Groove fairlead arriving in the mail!

I just did this for the first time, using brand new 1/2" winch line. For me, clear boxing/packing tape worked much better than electrical tape. Thanks for the video and the innovative hawse/fairlead!

Saw this on Casey's channel and had to check it out.. thx for video super simple and easy. Can't wait to put this to work.. don't see all the fuss because you didn't talk its simple. Keep up the great work from watching Casey's channel your product is awesome 👌

Great tutorial, I've done four loops so far and they all turned out perfect because of your video! Thumbs up!👍

Thanks for the great vid! Just made mine to get rid of the hook to go with my new groove fairlead and to compliment my Yankum Python rope as a backup...ready to hit the trails with confidence!

Casey sent me! Keep up the good work at Burley ! .......Greetings from Barcelona (Spain)

awesome directions! Thank you for the awesome, detailed, step by step explanation!

Just tried this on a couple boat mooring lines..easy and strong. Thank you.

Awesome! Not knowing how to do this is the main reason I held off buying the fairlead and getting rid of the hook. Now no worries!

I made chokers and tow ropes from 5/8s hollow rope for years with all most the same tool that you use . Used a little different eye in them but never used thought to use it on winch Good innovation

I finished doing my rope today and it worked great. I got the yankum fairlead months ago but was afraid to try doing this myself. • The first time I went through it I put one knot in upside down, I had to keep repositioning the rope EXACTLY as it looks on the video to get it all right (a few times you flip it upside down and around without mentioning it) • I was surprised how easy my Warn winch rope was to cut with normal house scissors, I thought it would be way tougher • I had some much shorter FID needles but they still worked great • Overall, it took about 30min which includes having to redo it twice before I got it all right • Last month I went to Moab and a friend saw my winch hook clipped to my bumper and said it was in a bad place and on Fins and Things a steep descent smashed the hook a bit, now with it behind the fairlead my rope will be safe from future bashing About the only thing that isn't much better than how it was before is that putting the winch into "neutral" it's kinda hard to pull the rope out, as grabbing a big hook was way easier before, now I kind of have to spin the spool with my fingers to get some slack on the loop to get it off the side of the fairlead. But otherwise, this is WAY safer with no metal, will protect my rope much better than before, and looks amazing and cleaner now, especially with a flip-down license plate (my state requires them and I've been hassled near trailheads by cops)

Thanks for sharing!

Casey sent me! Keep up the good work down there in Burley!

Zo leren we het doen geweldig 🤩 👍👌✊. Het was een leerrijke film 🎥 prachtig gedaan 👌 bedankt. Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼

Tap some threads into the needle. Then you can twist the rope into the needle. I;ve been doing this for years, never failed. And no tape necessary.

I would like to see MORR, Fab Rats, and Trail Mater try out recovery and trail rides in BSF's area. BSF did awesome tackling new challenges in Utah. Let's see how they, the Yankum Ropes, and their recovery styles do in BSF's backyard! It would be great to see the abilities of their recovery rigs out of their element and how well they can navigate the obstacles they are unfamiliar with. It would be a great event for you to sponsor and get a new market since they all use your ropes. Put up a tent at the event and they can park there when they are not recovering or trail riding. I am sure Eric can help get you set up with the big event management. Everyone may learn something new and it would be great content with your ropes on four KZfaq channels.

Casey sent me here. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video ,I enjoyed it👍

This song is now stuck in my head😂

Looks like that’s what I’m doing tonight, may need to order the fair lead and soft shackles soon too.

Thanks for the video!! Could you add a nylon sleeve to loop to help prevent fraying? I noticed you winch rope loop is dipped.

Does Yankum sell the tool to retie the winch rope? If not, can you refer somewhere I could obtain the tool, please. Thanks, Alan.

well done, using your rope, i actually did the locking know without using a fid.

Thank you

That is one cool product

Selma fids are SO much easier with 12 strand hollow braids. I typically invert that loop before passing the eye through. Much easier. Make loop 1, then loop 2. Loosen the line at 2 then invert it. Pass a regular fid through it half way. Take a 6” piece of baling wire and fold it in half making a 3” piece. Pass one end through Loop 1 trapping it in the middle of the wire. Place the two ends of the wire into the fid and push it through, then pull the wires to pass the loop through the inversion. Revert the inversion and slide together. ALWAYS taper the bury with at least 6 strands. I typically taper 10. BTW, your tail should be 3 1/2 Fid lengths to maintain the rated strength which should be 90% - 100% of the original rating.

I just watched this and decided I’ll run the hook until I need to replace the line. Holy buckets I don’t have the patience for that!

Very cool ! Where can I get one of those lancing tools/ marlin spike? Thank you and God bless !

Awesome video! I am too impatient though, I will never take the time to do this. Greetings from twin

Nice!

New to splicing - sizing a fid seems confusing. I want to splice a 3/8 synthetic winch rope. Thanks for any help!

Love the idea. Only problem I see is when it's frozen of covered in mud trying to pull it out.

Exactly how I make whoope slings with dynema rope.

Y'all ropes our awesome.

Not as strong as the conventional three tucks & a taper but it’s more fun to splice it this way.

this looks like a twist on making the loop for Sampson Braid line. That's a very quick method I will put to use.

This was a pain, not having a fid. I used 1/4” drive extension and wire to fish everything through. You will save yourself a lot of frustration if you just buy a freekin’ fid.

Smashing job guys, groovy!

🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏 Thank you for sharing

We’re gonna need that fair lead for utv’s as well…..please!!!!

Do I need to have all Milwaukee tools for this?

Captions was a good idea, let me pause and still be able read instructions

OU GUYS ARE AWESOME.

Not too dissimilar from the method I use to tie my own soft shackles.

Can you provide a link to the FID you used? I cannot seem to find one on amazon that is the appropriate ID.

Maybe I missed it but what size FID should I use verses the rope diameter? I have 1/4” and 3/8” rope on the way to me for two different winches.

What size is that FID thing tool where to get one? I just ordered a ton of them on amazon because I was confused. Need to splice a apex badlands 3/8" ( apparently ) rope so I can use my yankum fairlead on it. Commentary next time please in your videos.

I think I am going to struggle doing this for the first time… Probably need to watch the video a few times.

Where can I find that FID?

Need one for my son he just bought a Chevy I know he's going to need it and then I'll go get them at road recovery ropes thanks guys let me know how much it cost I will buy it for him and then I'll go to Matt's and figure it out

FID ? please explain

Sent here by Casey The finished knot looks great. Wouldn't a simpler ( simpler for me anyway ) Bowline Knot work? I have stalled a double line 9k winch with a bowline knot loop any thoughts. I will upgrade to your products as my existing stuff wears out.

I have never worked with braid rope before. I need words that explain what I am doing and looking for at each "stage". Could you please add narration? Thank you.

👍

Come check out the new fairleads on yankum.com

I came over from @CaseyLaDelle video. Very cool products 👍

A Swedish fid would work great for this task, at least the second one.

My question is why do you I need your $200 Fairlead using that Brummel knot? Couldn't I just use a $5 velcro strap to tie the winch line back onto itself or affix to the fairlead that came with my winch?

Try this while Drunk!!!☝️🥃🤣🤣🤣

Do you sell the FID/needle thingy?

Sorry what size fid are you using.

Ancient Chinese secret!

Too bad you cannot insert protection sleeve with this kind of splicing. So you have to stick with classic method. But the material is very slippery and , honestly, I couldn’t find any video how to splice this 12 strand rope made of this kind of material. If someone could send me a link I appreciate.

Not the way I learned to do it. I don't remember exactly, but it involved inverting both "eyes", then pulling one through the other.

What size is the rope and the FID?

Much better without the music

Poor example- weak splice. The bury needs to be 72x the diameter of the line, and the end of the buried line needs to be tapered.

damn, forgot the chafe sleeve.. redo... lol..

Clear as mud 😂

Winches... must be a jeep thing lol

Too bad those fair leads are outrageously expensive. For that price, they should come gold plated with real gold.

NO!!! Because you have access to the other end of the tow line, you don't need to tuck the eye, you can tuck the short end and then tuck the long end. The standard Brummel lock is for when you're splicing only one free end. This shows a complete misunderstanding of the locking mechanism when you're doing bench work. I have made thousands of Brummel locks, including the flag halyard on the Seattle Space Needle.

you should be tapering the tail once it's been passed through the core of the line. that sudden change in dia. will be your breaking point and will be your weakest area of the line now. you probably lost more than 50% of the integrity of the rope.

Where I am the UV kills rope quickly So your idea is to stick it out in the UV 🤣 Good idea

Either audio or captions, the music didn't bother me but is an unnecessary addition

Please dumb-down the music track and dub over it with at least an English interpretive subtitle from a narrator explaining the process. Very helpful information! Thanks for sharing.

For all of the extra flipping of eyes inside out and right side out, it would almost be as easy to unspool the whole winch to access the other end of the rope and just do the standard locked brummel. Even with 100 or 150' of line. That is just my $0.02 worth.

Far out!

That noise makes it hard to watch. Explain what you are doing.

MMMate, kill the mmmusic...

No wonder these winch lines cost so much. Any knot that takes longer to tie than it takes to sh!t when you're constipated, is not worth tying.

Amazing how people trash good videos with music 🙄🙄 that was painful...

Lose the music and add some commentary. Really, it's exciting enough without the jazzy muzak.

I found this hard to follow. The music is an awful distraction, I muted the video. Needs spoken directions, going slow.

God what a terrible noise

Geesh that ‘music’, is the worst

Music on videos like this sucks. Just talk dude.

Seriously this video is a example of what is wrong with youtube, cheap nasty content with no commentary.
