High performance UHMWPE 12 strand rope is stronger than wire rope at 1/8th the weight. Because it's braided, not twisted it won't rotate when loaded.  It rolls up into a small coil and won't kink like wire rope. It has limited stretch if used at least at a 7:1 design factor. It's important to store… [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 teal blue with dark blue tracers and is also available in 3 strand and 8 braid under Super Danline. [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]

3 strand nylon has good abrasion resistance, great stretch but still good memory and is easy to splice. It will hockel because its such a soft fiber, so we stock it mostly in a medium to firm lay. If you want a great jerk rope for stuck vehicles, we really recommend double braid nylon. It… [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]

Double braid nylon jerk and tow ropes are just the best for snatching vehicles out of snow, mud or the ditch. With a bit of slack, take off, let the rope stretch and all that stored up energy and elongation with the corresponding recoil will usually pull the stuck vehicle free. Our 2" and 4"… [read more]
