{"product_id":"line-sleeving-kit","title":"Line Sleeving Kit","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"card__header\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this kite line sleeve kit, you can shorten stretched lines, create new line lengths, or simply replace the sleeving on your existing lines to prevent line breakages. At each knot on your line is a place for friction to occur which reduces the strength of your kite line at that juncture. It minimizes the chance of breakage at the knot and makes line attachment and removal a lot easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit comes included with four individual 15\" segments of sleeving and the wire sleeving tool. It's compact and perfect to keep with you in your repair kit and allows you to dissipate the friction and increase your line life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeving thickens the flying line loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtecting the spectra fibers with a dacron covering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIF YOU DON'T USE SLEEVING YOU NEED:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBigger attachment loops, since you can't untie spectra, a bigger loop can have more tuning knots added if necessary to shorten the length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA stopper knot is built into the line BEFORE you make the loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-off the loop with a \"figure-of-eight\" knot as it moves in two directions and is very permanent when you place it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA longer top leader, such that you can reach WAY out there for catches and 3D tricks, assume it needs to be the length of the gap between the 2 attachment points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE ARE THE BASIC STEPS TO SLEEVING YOUR SPECTRA KITE LINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve one end of the line at a time making sure that you use the same color of sleeving for both ends of the same line.
