Jacket and Parks Carbon....why, because that is what St. Valentine brought last year.... <BR> <BR>E.J.

I’m going from an old poly-e with a lot play to the Accurate fire jacket and I’m not sure on the handle yet. I should see a big difference in the line. Hopefully it works out and helps me when I ride. I’m looking at the accurate Grubb, Murray, and team for a handle. <BR> <BR>How do you like your Parks compared to others??? <BR>

A handle is a handle to me..... It feels good, does the job.... Can be a bit scary when throwing it to someone.... If I was purchasing a new one myself, I would probably stay away from the carbon fiber stuff...but some people love it. <BR> <BR>That said, I am not buying anything different at this point. <BR> <BR>E.J.

E.J. – You’re right on the handle deal, “A handle is a handle.” The only difference you could feel was the texture of the grip. <BR> <BR>Big time difference between that jacketed mainline and poly ropes. Over the last few years I’ve upgraded from a “ski” rope to a poly-e (thinner ski rope) and now to a jacketed and each time I’ve had a big learning curve. Took me all weekend to make the transition, but it’s going to be worth it. After a long weekend of riding my shoulders only hurt from a light sun burn and not being pulled by a crappy rope. <BR>

Accurate Jacket and Parks Carbon as well. Carbon can make handle passes easy if you cant find the grip. 2 pennies.
