It doesn’t work that way. You’re going to need about six foot of amsteel to make this bridge. Without the full length bury the 1/4” amsteel is too small and doesn’t grip well.
Edit. Misread. Can’t delete.

I hear you. So if you start with a longer piece of amsteel, girth hitch a fixed loop to one bridge loop, then splice a stopper in the other end, and bury the (long) tag end full length til it meets the buried tag end of the fixed loop from the other end. Then you could put a Prusik loop on the line, tied or girth hitched into the bridge loop. Is that pretty close to the new Tetherd bridge? Seems like a nice upgrade.

Not at all really. Nothing is girth hitched. Your bridge is lock brummeled to one bridge loop with a full length bury and a stopper knot tied on the other end. The prussic is not girth hitched either.

I think the girth hitching it to the bridge loop would provide the same bite on the bridge loop on a mantis as the channels provide on the phantom. That's just my guess, not sure how @AKMonkey sees it.

Right. They use their new notched system on the bridge loops to adjust where the bridge sits in the bridge loops. Lacking that system on my Mantis, I was thinking I'd use girth hitches to hold the bridge in place on the bridge loops. I'm curious about the stopper knot they use on the end of the Amsteel.
 
Does anyone know the origin of the name they chose for this bridge?

It has a Batman vibe to it.
