Time is good to buy a new wakeboard line since there's a lot of sales happening. Was hoping to get some opinions on the following lines. I like to buy good quality and high-end products...but I also need to be able to justify spending the extra bucks. What do y'all think? <BR> <BR>All products are 2006 <BR> <BR>$100 Accurate A-Line <BR>$85 Accurate Jacket <BR>$80 Straight Line Thermal <BR>$70 Accurate Fuse

SL Thermal is always a good rope. My +/- 5 friends each had one, and me, and we didn't have any troubles with it. Except when we ran one over, but that's a different story. <BR>I'd go for the Thermal!

Check with Holmes he made me a very good deal on a handle...I would buy the silver helium <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/8/388268.html?1163143523" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/8/388268.html?1163143523</a> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/388387.jpg" alt="Upload">

I've got the SL Thermal as well- great rope. If you're using a regular ski rope they'll be a major difference in the amount of stretch and also - you won't drag as much water into the boat with the thermals.

AG - thanks for the link. Holmes cut me a good deal on the Helium line.

non stretch= A-line

Druffel - Check you e-mail, I sent some end of the year pricing on some Accurate stuff.

I just bought a Thermal and I love it.

Hey, check out the Proline stuff too. I have the Dyneema line from '06 and dig it. Plus it comes with enough rope to go to 85' with handle. I think you can get the coated rope with a handle for '07 for a pretty decent deal.

The best line IMO for the money is Bullet Lines. I bought one of these and it is just as good as lines that cost $100. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.bulletlines.com/servlet/the-Wakeboard-Rope/Categories" target="_blank">http://www.bulletlines.com/servlet/the-Wakeboard-Rope/Categories</a>

Ive always had accurate a solid line. It got hit with the prop and still held up all season. They are very durable. If you look at the how there braided as opposed to straight line, you can see the difference. Used mine for 3 seasons..Jacket or fuse will last. I had the jacket. I just got the A line just because the cute girl at the shop talked me into it, but so far so good. The A line is suppose to be very durable. IMO........
