We are one of the few that stock long lengths of High performance ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) 12 strand rope. It is stronger than wire rope at 1/8th the weight. Its in the same class as Amsteel and Plasma Dyneema. 3/16" in 2500' reel 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" in 2500' & 5,000' reels… [read more]

Used by the US Navy for its unique combination of strength, splicing ease, abrasion and UV resistance After years of design cooperation with the US Navy, Phillystran co-engineered the PSFS 4 strand aramid (Kevlar® / Twaron® / Technora®) fiber ropes with sequential break technology which reduces the rope’s recoil if overloaded to the point of break (See Cordage… [read more]

              Double braid nylon is a very stable construction, yet has great stretch and memory. Makes a great boat anchor line as it is easy to coil, it won’t hockle or rotate under load like 3-strand nylon and is 30-40% stronger. Not as easy to splice as 3-strand nylon but has less stretch at the… [read more]

Polyester (aka Dacron) looks and feel like nylon but has half the stretch and usually comes with a green tracer while nylon has a blue one or none at all. It also best against abrasion of all the standard fibers. It is heavier than nylon but doesn't absorb moisture like nylon. It is best where… [read more]

Blue Danline 3-strand twisted  polypropylene, also known as Blue Steel poly or Super Danline, is a co-polymer rope with 40% higher breaking strength than regular poly rope. We stock it in 600’ and 1200’ lengths on reels in smaller sizes up to ½” and in wrapped coils above ½”. Starting at 1-½” diameter we stock… [read more]

High strength co-extrusion polyolefin has better UV and abrasion resistance than regular poly pro. It comes in royal blue, it is comparable to Samson Polytron and CWC Blue Steel Poly. [read more]

“Because of it’s square shape and braided construction, 8 plait grips better in windlass anchor winches. You can also get more into a locker than 3 strand. It is highly recommended that you wet the line before first time use to firm up the fiber to get better wear over its life. Splicing is a… [read more]

Poly-Dac also know as Poly-Plus, Extralene and Superflex. Each of the three strands of polypropylene is wrapped in polyester aka Dacron to give it great feel, knot holding and abrasion resistance. It is more expensive than poly-pro but less than nylon. It has a specific gravity of greater than 1.0 and therefore is a sinking… [read more]
