I (and most of my family) go through my rope really fast, and it is getting expensive buying by the foot. Does anyone know a good place to buy? I am mostly looking for smaller 3/32" to 1/4" size nylon/polyester.

I buy from Fleet Farm – Atwood Rope Co. brand – we buy 300 ft rolls of 1/16 in for about 6-7 bucks, some is not hollow – it has a core. (the rope without the core seems to tangle easier) It's the stiffness and ease of tying different knots that don't slip that I like. I have to assume their other ropes can perform as well.

This isn't super-strength, "only" rated at 85 lbs.

Steve,

That line Gene mentioned is my favorite line. I agree with everything he said, particularly the ease of tying and holding knots. I even use it for shoe laces but it wears out after a few months of my use. It works well with the small linelocs too.

Kite line is another option. It comes in big rolls and it is often on sale.

Here’s an example:

Kitebuilder has many other sizes of line too.

Thank you for the replies. I ordered some 1/16" rope from Atwood rope MFG. It is just what I was looking for.

Thanks!
