Splicing is our recommended method for terminating a rope or joining two ends of rope together without using a knot.  In addition to the bulk of complication of knots, even the best dressed knot can significantly decrease a rope's strength, whereas splicing maintains almost 100% of a rope's native strength. Here at Casto Trading Company, our staff have the splicing knowledge and experience for custom creations for commercial customers, boat owners, cargo and towing customers and more.
