The \u003cstrong\u003ePowerPro Hollow-Ace Splicing Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you the tools and materials to create clean, strong, professional-grade hollow spectra splices — the same connections used by tournament anglers and serious offshore crews worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hollow-Ace Splicing Kit includes PowerPro's purpose-built splicing needles in multiple sizes to accommodate different hollow spectra diameters, along with everything you need to complete clean loop-to-loop and wind-on leader connections.

A properly executed hollow spectra splice maintains near 100% line strength, creates a smooth, low-profile connection that passes through guides cleanly, and eliminates the bulk and friction of conventional knots.
