    Default Rope fid question??????????????


    Does anyone know of a chain store that carries rope fids? The local Ace Hardware went out of business and I can't find any fids local.

    Thanks. I am trying to find some at a local store. Ace Hardware use to carry the plastic ones for about a buck a piece. I hate to pay the shipping fee on something that doesn't weigh 4 ounces.

    They are used for splicing rope and putting eyes on them. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...key=SiteSearch

    Thumbs up

    Cane Pole what size rope are you try'n to splice. Being an ol'towboater I rarely use a fid on anything smaller than 2" Poly., I just twist the line to open it a little. If you are working with small line say 1/4" to 1" those plastic tent steaks that you can get at Wal-Mart would work. :D
