[QUOTE="beastmaster, post: 4509452, member: 11550"] Only problem I see with that is ever branch is going to be a different size, right. and some times you may need more or less slack in the line. With spliced ends your fixed at a certain length. Very little adjustment so your limiting it. You need a few to cover all situations. Classic Spider leg is to have one end to fix to branch(it could be spliced) then the other is used as a prussic off the lowering line, and adjusted up or down as needed to balance load. Once you get the hang of it you can change the center of balence in some situations to make the limb slowly turn or make it shift its load opposite what it is, little tricks that have their place.
