I'm looking for a new wakeboard rope. Right now I have a ten dollar Walmart ski rope. I've been looking online and there seems to be a huge range of prices for ropes. I would like a good rope but I don't want to spend more than 60 dollars, any suggestion for a good rope for that price?
|
I would check out the sites avertising above. I personally have had good success with wakeside. Jason over there is a big help.

get a no stretch rope. Obviously better for riding but also has a terrific safety benefit. No rope recoil into the boat. Worth the money for sure. I have no brand preference
|
I agree most nonstretch ropes will fit to your ability. <BR>I have heard several people say to get a Jacket line from Grizzley for 50 or the Red line from Bullet for around the same.
|
Which websites sell either one of those I just tried to search them and can't find it
|
<a href="http://www.grizzly-sports.com/" target="_blank">http://www.grizzly-sports.com/</a> is the website but I would call and talk to them. <BR> <BR>Bullet Lines is on ebay or you can buy them direclty from the bulletlines.com but it looks like their prices have gone up. You can email the owner at <a href="mailto:kland@bulletlines.com">kland@bulletli nes.com</a> and maybe strike a deal
|
You can get a good non-stretch spectra rope for between about $60 and $100, and it will be worth every penny. I have had an Accurate Fire Jacket for several years now and couldn't be more happy with it. I wouldn't recomend getting a Bullet rope. A lot of people, including me, have had problems with them falling apart pretty quickly.

Proline sk series great non stretch line for the money. <BR>If you want an even better line then Proline Ak series.
|
Daniel, <BR> <BR>I would definatly invest in a good nonstretch rope. I have had the Accurrate Jacket for two seasons and it is very nice and durable. Easy to see in the water and it floats. I got mine on e-bay for about 50 bones. Check e-bay

Daniel, <BR> <BR>I can sell you a Bullet Armor Line for $55 shipped. It will not fall a part! A pic is below! Let me know! You can also look at other ropes on our website <a href="http://www.bulletlines.com" target="_blank">www.bulletlines.com</a> <BR> <BR>Thanks, <BR> <BR>Ken Land <BR><a href="mailto:kland@bulletlines.com">kland@bulletli nes.com</a> <BR>Bullet Ski Lines <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/352608.jpg" alt="Upload">

i went all out i bought the straight line carbon handle and viper rope all causted about $150 but i am very pleased with the no stretch and the handle floats too!!!... i use to have the byrley that didn't float so im happy!
|
what ever you do... dont buy the black widow line and this years watson handle, the rope sinks and the handle is like concrete...
|
Spend the extra money, whatever you do. A good rope will last you 2+ years, and that beats buying cheap stuff each year. I bought a $120 spectra line 5 years ago and although its dirty and faded, it has nothing wrong with it. BTW, after you do spend the $$ on a good rope, TAKE CARE OF IT and it will last.....
|
Ken I'm definently going to get one of your ropes, I just need a couple of weeks to save some money for the one you have a pic of. <BR>Thanks everybody for the tips <BR>Dan
