How to Splice your own Lead Ropes -  Directions on rope splicing from New England Ropes.  In order to make your own ropes you'll need to be able to do an eye splice and a back splice.  These are general splicing instructions.   In order to make a 12 foot lead rope, you need to start with 15 feet of rope.   The extra three feet is used to build the splices.  Make sure that you use double braided yacht line.  It costs between $1.25-$2.00 per foot, but you'll be disappointed in the feel of the rope if you select another type of rope. If you master these techniques, you will build professional looking leads, just like we do.
