Splicing now (with braided) is a lot easier than it once was with twisted
nylon or hemp.  Takes but a few seconds to make a decent eye or end splice
with the right tools.  But... I still wouldnt want to do it UW and even
though I know how to splice twisted line (that old Boy Scout training just
doesnt die) I avoid it whenever I can.
