This cant be good

[Drslyr]

I have two frays in my amsteel bridge. I have no idea how they got there but im getting a little worried. Anyone else have this problem?

Probably All good just the tag end of your bury. Open up the weave and confirm

 

[Red Beard]

Is that a fray, or the end of the burry working its way out? Looks like it could be the burry (equidistant from the crux and approximately in the right spot on your bridge).

I had the same thing when my mantis showed up. It was the tag end of the bury, pushed it back in and on I went

 

[Bama_Xander]

Agree. Looks like tag end of bury.

 

[Weldabeast]

Could that possibly be the trail of the ends that's inside the main loop? My bridge looks similar

 

[rutjr]

Yup it’s the bury. Mine is similar.

Those are the tail end of the buries. Nothing to worry about.

So no one's found a good way to finish off the end of cut amsteel? (Yes, you should take this as a challenge )

I just put it in my fly tying vise and wrap it with my whip finisher.

How about burning?

Just the tail of the splice poking through. Happens all the time.

You can avoid this by not tapering the end of the bury, and wrapping it with a small strip of electrical tape.... BUT, that makes the splice look really bad, and it won’t slide as well through a carabiner, because it will put a big ‘ol fat spot in the rope.

I wouldn’t add anything to the amsteel bury, though, because it could reduce the friction required to maintain manufacturer’s specs on splices.

I'd be willing to hunt that spot in your saddle to make sure that bridge is safe

 

[Drslyr]

Well slonstdy go ahead its in western NY. So far there's only 20 different bucks that have cruised by.
