length of the leash
Actually, one should be able to assume that a ready-made line with a specification length of 30m describes the finished Prudokt. However, a 30m line has apparently been used to manufacture the product, so ultimately splicing the eye is at the expense of the overall length. Annoying when the required length is already tight.

Good product!
Used as listening, it's perfect! Can be spliced but with difficulty, especially in diameter 12. The sheath is tightly braided which makes splicing difficult. Overall good product
