looking for a new rope

looking to buy a new 'non-stretch" wakeboard rope..the rope i have is very cheap....what is the best or best for the money rope?..........i see some have a "spectra rope with handle" for around 100...yet most ropes alone are around 70.00 and up.......thanks

it depends if you want the rope coated or not i bought an uncoated rope.My uncoated rope gets tangled easy. Buy wake has a non strect on sale for $100 vinyl coat. http://buywake.com/catalog/detail/AC_bvw8d. Or you can get a non vinyl coat rope for $60 @ http://buywake.com/catalog/detail/HA_RxiAa. Honestly im just lazy so untangling a rope for 3 minutes is a hastle, if i had more disapline: saving $40 would be worth it but im just spoiled, its up to you my uncoated rope works fine im just lazy.

Does anyone know if this is good rope? It is on ebay for $39.99 +12.00 shipping.






NEW! Bullet Ski Lines 75' Spectra Fusion Core Mainline. This item is new and in original manufacturer packaging. Rope is made and looks exactly the same as an Accurate Jacket rope. Rope is a thin 3/16" with a break strength of 4500lbs. Marking flags at each section. This mainline has a tangle free tight feel. Retails for $109.95

Accurate A-line is the best (IMO). No tangles, slides thru your fingers without any chafing, and if you get the white one, very easy to see in the water.

I have one of those Bullet Lines...it is a decent rope for sure, but the coating started to shred on mine after only one season of moderate amount riding. Doesn't affect the pull at all, but depending on where the rip is, can be funky. I'm trying to cut all the coating off & use it as a backup rope now.

Are you looking for a combo with handle & line or just some new line for a good price?

Tim thats a decent rope, I have one as my back up. It tangles up very easy and only after a few times of using it the black shrink rap covering the stitching has come off. All and all you get what you pay for. Its a good back up. I would for sure recomend an A-line. I love them.

I have the LF red dragon that thing rocks. Same as the black widow but red in color. It is by far the best rope i have had.

Had a few accurate, straight lines all were good but i like the LF the best.

looking for just the line........seems evryone has a different opinion on ropes so maybe ill try the accurate a line or the straight line thermal!

Accurate A line or the Accurate Fire Jacket are great lines. I dont care what others say, if you take care of your line and store it properly it will not tangle. I had a Fire jacket for 3 seasons and would still probably have it but it got caught in the prop. Even though it got caught in the prop it was so strong that even with the cut in the line it still held up. They are very well made.

Keep this in mind... if you take good care of your rope, it will take care of you. If you take good care of it, it will never knot or tangle up. The expensive coated nontangle ropes are for the people who just pull it in ASAP and leave it on the ground of the boat for people to step on, and then weave the handle through the coils a couple times and then throw the handle out and expect to be ready to ride.

IMO and I have never had a problem with a nice cheap non-stretch shoelace rope, because I coil it up perfectly every time I ride, and uncoil it properly before I ride.

Ryan, Tim:

We have our Bullet Armor Line coated ropes on clearance for $50.00. I can add the matching EVA handle for $40.00.

I've got the Accurate Fire line and have been very pleased, like Duffy says if you take care of your rope it won't tangle, you just have to put it away properly.

Tim, I've had one of the Bullet lines for 2 years now and it has worked well, but it isn't exactly tangle free.
