Anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to do a full length bury with 50 feet of Amsteel to get 25 feet of Amsteel with a core with a Brummel on the end?
 
Carefully feed fishing line through the entirety of it, use it as a pull while milking the amsteel back through? Not sure if it would work
 
I imagine you're talking about 1/4"? If so I use an old aluminum arrow as a fid. I wrap the end of the Amsteel in electrical tape to get a tight fit in the fid then I take the electrical tape and tightly wrap it around the base of the fid and down onto the rope to taper it. This way I was able to do my bridge which was about a 3' bury. I imagine you'd have to do multiple pulls to get that much through unless you have a LOT of patience. What will this be used for? i'm very intrigued...
