- Did you just get a new Groove fairlead from Yankum Ropes??
Just as it sates in the title, this is the best tutorial on how to re-tie your Brummel loop on the end of your winch-line without unspooling your winch.
So, ditch the hook and go the easy way with a new Groove fairlead and keep your existing synthetic winch-line!!!
We hope this video helps you convert what you already have or get even more mileage out of your winch-line! Come check us out at yankum.com - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
that was actually awesome to watch and very interesting as well great product 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Really interesting, I think it would have been better with a commentary on how to do it rather than the music though 😀
Completely agree. Some verbal detail would have made the video much much better
(think of non Anglos... even a Swahili speaker can understand this)
@@kadmow this is why I did it without a verbal explanation.
@@YankumRopes - yep, some US centrists can't see the benefit, good work.

Great tutorial, I've done four loops so far and they all turned out perfect because of your video! Thumbs up!👍
Casey sent me! Keep up the good work at Burley ! .......Greetings from Barcelona (Spain)
I just did this for the first time, using brand new 1/2" winch line. For me, clear boxing/packing tape worked much better than electrical tape. Thanks for the video and the innovative hawse/fairlead!
Saw this on Casey's channel and had to check it out.. thx for video super simple and easy. Can't wait to put this to work.. don't see all the fuss because you didn't talk its simple. Keep up the great work from watching Casey's channel your product is awesome 👌
Worked great! I followed along and used a ball point pen as a FID on a scrap piece of rope. Looking forward to my Groove fairlead arriving in the mail!
Zo leren we het doen geweldig 🤩 👍👌✊. Het was een leerrijke film 🎥 prachtig gedaan 👌 bedankt.
Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼
Awesome! Not knowing how to do this is the main reason I held off buying the fairlead and getting rid of the hook. Now no worries!
Thanks for the great vid! Just made mine to get rid of the hook to go with my new groove fairlead and to compliment my Yankum Python rope as a backup...ready to hit the trails with confidence!
awesome directions! Thank you for the awesome, detailed, step by step explanation!
This song is now stuck in my head😂
Lol it’s so terrible I need to fix this
Just tried this on a couple boat mooring lines..easy and strong. Thank you.
I made chokers and tow ropes from 5/8s hollow rope for years with all most the same tool that you use . Used a little different eye in them but never used thought to use it on winch Good innovation
I would like to see MORR, Fab Rats, and Trail Mater try out recovery and trail rides in BSF's area. BSF did awesome tackling new challenges in Utah. Let's see how they, the Yankum Ropes, and their recovery styles do in BSF's backyard! It would be great to see the abilities of their recovery rigs out of their element and how well they can navigate the obstacles they are unfamiliar with. It would be a great event for you to sponsor and get a new market since they all use your ropes. Put up a tent at the event and they can park there when they are not recovering or trail riding. I am sure Eric can help get you set up with the big event management. Everyone may learn something new and it would be great content with your ropes on four TH-cam channels.
I finished doing my rope today and it worked great. I got the yankum fairlead months ago but was afraid to try doing this myself.
• The first time I went through it I put one knot in upside down, I had to keep repositioning the rope EXACTLY as it looks on the video to get it all right (a few times you flip it upside down and around without mentioning it)
• I was surprised how easy my Warn winch rope was to cut with normal house scissors, I thought it would be way tougher
• I had some much shorter FID needles but they still worked great
• Overall, it took about 30min which includes having to redo it twice before I got it all right
• Last month I went to Moab and a friend saw my winch hook clipped to my bumper and said it was in a bad place and on Fins and Things a steep descent smashed the hook a bit, now with it behind the fairlead my rope will be safe from future bashing
About the only thing that isn't much better than how it was before is that putting the winch into "neutral" it's kinda hard to pull the rope out, as grabbing a big hook was way easier before, now I kind of have to spin the spool with my fingers to get some slack on the loop to get it off the side of the fairlead.
But otherwise, this is WAY safer with no metal, will protect my rope much better than before, and looks amazing and cleaner now, especially with a flip-down license plate (my state requires them and I've been hassled near trailheads by cops)
Tap some threads into the needle. Then you can twist the rope into the needle.
I;ve been doing this for years, never failed. And no tape necessary.
Way old post, but I use a fidd that has a hook in it. Even easier. I can't remember the brand, I've owned the set probably 15 years
Does Yankum sell the tool to retie the winch rope? If not, can you refer somewhere I could obtain the tool, please. Thanks, Alan.
I just watched this and decided I’ll run the hook until I need to replace the line. Holy buckets I don’t have the patience for that!
Casey sent me! Keep up the good work down there in Burley!
Looks like that’s what I’m doing tonight, may need to order the fair lead and soft shackles soon too.
Casey sent me here. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video ,I enjoyed it👍
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! I am too impatient though, I will never take the time to do this.
Greetings from twin
Thanks for the video!! Could you add a nylon sleeve to loop to help prevent fraying? I noticed you winch rope loop is dipped.
well done, using your rope, i actually did the locking know without using a fid.
That is one cool product
Captions was a good idea, let me pause and still be able read instructions
Love the idea. Only problem I see is when it's frozen of covered in mud trying to pull it out.
Very cool ! Where can I get one of those lancing tools/ marlin spike?
Thank you and God bless !
Exactly how I make whoope slings with dynema rope.
Y'all ropes our awesome.
Nice!
Thank you
New to splicing - sizing a fid seems confusing. I want to splice a 3/8 synthetic winch rope. Thanks for any help!
Selma fids are SO much easier with 12 strand hollow braids. I typically invert that loop before passing the eye through. Much easier. Make loop 1, then loop 2. Loosen the line at 2 then invert it. Pass a regular fid through it half way. Take a 6” piece of baling wire and fold it in half making a 3” piece. Pass one end through Loop 1 trapping it in the middle of the wire. Place the two ends of the wire into the fid and push it through, then pull the wires to pass the loop through the inversion. Revert the inversion and slide together. ALWAYS taper the bury with at least 6 strands. I typically taper 10. BTW, your tail should be 3 1/2 Fid lengths to maintain the rated strength which should be 90% - 100% of the original rating.
I think I am going to struggle doing this for the first time…
Probably need to watch the video a few times.
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
Do I need to have all Milwaukee tools for this?
This was a pain, not having a fid. I used 1/4” drive extension and wire to fish everything through.
You will save yourself a lot of frustration if you just buy a freekin’ fid.
Maybe I missed it but what size FID should I use verses the rope diameter? I have 1/4” and 3/8” rope on the way to me for two different winches.
Did you ever find out?
Not as strong as the conventional three tucks & a taper but it’s more fun to splice it this way.
OU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
Smashing job guys, groovy!
this looks like a twist on making the loop for Sampson Braid line. That's a very quick method I will put to use.
Can you provide a link to the FID you used? I cannot seem to find one on amazon that is the appropriate ID.
Not too dissimilar from the method I use to tie my own soft shackles.
We’re gonna need that fair lead for utv’s as well…..please!!!!
We are working on it! 😁
What size is that FID thing tool where to get one? I just ordered a ton of them on amazon because I was confused. Need to splice a apex badlands 3/8" ( apparently ) rope so I can use my yankum fairlead on it. Commentary next time please in your videos.
Need one for my son he just bought a Chevy I know he's going to need it and then I'll go get them at road recovery ropes thanks guys let me know how much it cost I will buy it for him and then I'll go to Matt's and figure it out
My question is why do you I need your $200 Fairlead using that Brummel knot? Couldn't I just use a $5 velcro strap to tie the winch line back onto itself or affix to the fairlead that came with my winch?
Where can I find that FID?
Sent here by Casey The finished knot looks great. Wouldn't a simpler ( simpler for me anyway ) Bowline Knot work? I have stalled a double line 9k winch with a bowline knot loop any thoughts. I will upgrade to your products as my existing stuff wears out.
A knot weakens the rope by up to half compared to a splice
There is plenty of evidence that for this type of rope you weaken it significantly by using a knot. The taper is also very important. You can look up various tests with different brand names such as Amsteel, Samson, Dyneema and Spectra. Hope this helps.
I am sure the knot does weaken it some, but most pulls are nowhere near the breaking strength of the rope. A proper knot is a quick field fix.
@@fastandfun20043 For a bowline it may be as much as 60%
I have never worked with braid rope before. I need words that explain what I am doing and looking for at each "stage". Could you please add narration? Thank you.
Not everyone speaks English 🤷🏼♂️ it’s also easier to find and pause visually. However I’m getting lots of requests for this.
@@YankumRopes For those that don't speak English, the current video does not provide verbal instruction anyway. I think the request is just to add English to it instead of the music. That will help the English speakers, and the non-English speakers won't lose anything.
A Swedish fid would work great for this task, at least the second one.
FID ? please explain
👍
Come check out the new fairleads on yankum.com
Try this while Drunk!!!☝️🥃🤣🤣🤣
Sorry what size fid are you using.
A 3/8” fid (or 3/8” socket extension and electrical tape) will work best for a 3/8” winch-line. It will also “work” with a 5/16 with difficultly. It will work easily with a 7/16” winch-line.
@@YankumRopes great just ordered the fairlead. 👍🏽
Do you sell the FID/needle thingy?
Looking at that opportunity
Easy to find, a search for your rope diameter + fid will reveal several results..
@@fastandfun20043 Thank you! This was my question, too.
I came over from @CaseyLaDelle video.
Very cool products 👍
Not the way I learned to do it. I don't remember exactly, but it involved inverting both "eyes", then pulling one through the other.
Ancient Chinese secret!
Poor example- weak splice. The bury needs to be 72x the diameter of the line, and the end of the buried line needs to be tapered.
Too bad you cannot insert protection sleeve with this kind of splicing. So you have to stick with classic method. But the material is very slippery and , honestly, I couldn’t find any video how to splice this 12 strand rope made of this kind of material. If someone could send me a link I appreciate.
Much better without the music
What size is the rope and the FID?
The rope in this video is a 7/16" snd the fid is also a 7/16"
@@YankumRopes thanks
I'm trying this. You are going too fast and don't explain what you are doing. My kids are learning new ways to verbize aggravation. Keep in mind that I can't take my jeep into my office to watch this on the big monitor.
I got it the second time I tried it.
Please dumb-down the music track and dub over it with at least an English interpretive subtitle from a narrator explaining the process. Very helpful information! Thanks for sharing.
NO!!! Because you have access to the other end of the tow line, you don't need to tuck the eye, you can tuck the short end and then tuck the long end. The standard Brummel lock is for when you're splicing only one free end. This shows a complete misunderstanding of the locking mechanism when you're doing bench work. I have made thousands of Brummel locks, including the flag halyard on the Seattle Space Needle.
NO!!! Because this is a demonstration on how to do this if your winch-line is already on the drum of your winch and you don’t want to spend the extra time unspooling and re spooling your winch-line adding an additional 10 min to this process. Yes I’m demonstrating this on a bench, this video is for people that just got our fairlead and already have a synthetic winch-line on their winch.
damn, forgot the chafe sleeve.. redo... lol..
Where I am the UV kills rope quickly
So your idea is to stick it out in the UV 🤣
Good idea
Ha! Good thing there are UV blockers in most winch-line coatings, at least the good quality winch-lines have that feature, maybe this is why your lines keep failing in your videos?. What about along the top of your drum, how is that immune to UV?
@@YankumRopes the top wrap has a sleeve and we changed bumpers to enclosed style to accommodate the UV
120-130 degree heat kills any type of rope just saying
@@matt.mckinzie too bad your winch gets way hotter.
Too bad those fair leads are outrageously expensive. For that price, they should come gold plated with real gold.
Agreed! A standard fairlead is $30-100 so with the ingenuity of this one $125-$150 seems reasonable, but $250? Sheesh.
i completely agree. I bet someone will come out with their own copy of this soon for a fraction of the cost.
too bad, i was totally sold on the idea until i saw the price..
you should be tapering the tail once it's been passed through the core of the line. that sudden change in dia. will be your breaking point and will be your weakest area of the line now. you probably lost more than 50% of the integrity of the rope.
Either audio or captions, the music didn't bother me but is an unnecessary addition
Winches... must be a jeep thing lol
For all of the extra flipping of eyes inside out and right side out, it would almost be as easy to unspool the whole winch to access the other end of the rope and just do the standard locked brummel. Even with 100 or 150' of line. That is just my $0.02 worth.
Clear as mud 😂
That noise makes it hard to watch. Explain what you are doing.
Far out!
No wonder these winch lines cost so much. Any knot that takes longer to tie than it takes to sh!t when you're constipated, is not worth tying.
Lol
Amazing how people trash good videos with music 🙄🙄 that was painful...
Amazing that people can’t figure out how to mute the video but go the extra mile to write a passive aggressive comment am I right? lol.
@@YankumRopes Um... I lowered the volume way down hoping there might be some useful information, I was wrong 🤣 But thx for the reply and... please forgive me for my passive aggressive comment 😜👍
@@YankumRopes I listened in hopes of hearing what you were pointing to and the reason for it, were pointing out how many strands to count or what? Yup otherwise I would have hit the mute right from the get go.
MMMate, kill the mmmusic...
Lose the music and add some commentary. Really, it's exciting enough without the jazzy muzak.
God what a terrible noise
I found this hard to follow. The music is an awful distraction, I muted the video. Needs spoken directions, going slow.
Geesh that ‘music’, is the worst
Music on videos like this sucks. Just talk dude.
Seriously this video is a example of what is wrong with youtube, cheap nasty content with no commentary.
