Moss, I didn't mean to diss Blaze in any way - fine rope. I believe that Sportline is 10mm and about 5lbs per 100', with Blaze at 11mm and about 6lbs.

Moss, no prob. Work will do that to you - it should be avoided whenever possible. Blaze would certainly be better for a main rope. Sportline is very light-duty, but I like it for split tails and daisies.

Hollow braid feature in Sportline. 1 Year, 6 Months ago
|
|

Sportline is also a hollow braid construction. I do not think there are any hollow briad lines on the market now. I understand Sport line has been discontinued.

Peter, you are correct - it has been discontinued. I was able to pick up two hanks of Maverick, which was the beefed-up successor to Sportline, but didn't want to cut them up for these purposes.

Harv, what are you using them for? I might be able to recommend something else that would be comprable...
I just looked on Yale's site, and they have it listed as 7/16 (which is normally considered 11mm) but then they converted it as 10mm....
Was new tribe the last place to get that stuff?
love
