Since using the needle knot variation (terry hearn youtube video) i no longer need to splice.
Works with lead core or lead free. You just need to heat seal the end to prevent fraying.

I use the ridgemonkey braid scissors and a clean cut means I no longer break even cheap splicing needles

As a rule I am Korda man, but their splicing needles break if you stare at them too hard let alone have them near leadcore

Another for the Fox Easy Splice needle. Was using a cut down pole elastic threader for many years before that. The leadcore outer breaks before the wire does!

forever breaking the ESP one - hamfisted - have recently got a hold of some TA ones - first impressions are good - thicker gauge for starters so should last a bit longer.

I find the Fox yellow ones absolutely fine...with splicing it's definitely about which material you are using...I use the Fox submerge in 60lb which is very good and easy to splice...plus when you are pulling the loop back through just keep wiggling the needle as it goes through then it's easy

Easy, Fox Easy Splice. Bought 2 when they first come out, still got both, one still in it’s packet, no way of breaking it. The best by far. No brittle hooks to snap!

Used to have a esp one for years, until it broke but haven’t had one as good since

No ya tit it's when using thick materials that are hard to get through the eye more than once the easy splice makes it a doddle
