A splicing needle is a specialized tool used in carp fishing to create strong, neat connections in rig components, especially when working with braided hooklinks or rig tubing.
Here's how and when to use it:
How to Use a Splicing Needle
- Thread the Line: Insert the needle through the braid or material you want to splice, creating a loop or joining two sections.
- Pull the Braid Through: After threading, carefully pull the braid or hooklink material through the needle’s eye, securing it into a loop or knotless connection.
- Tidy Up the Connection: Once the splice is complete, trim any excess material and carefully blob wioth a lighter for a neat, secure finish.
