I recently purchased some nice 3/8" braided blue and white poly at a Home Depot store to replace the aging line in my throwbag. Cost was about $9 for 50' A nearby Brookharts lumber (Ace Hardware) store has several different colors and thicknesses available on "cut-to-length" spools. You will usually find a pretty good selection at a larger motorboat store, but it will probably be considerably more expensive. A final option is one of the discount boating supply stores such as Overtons; seems like they had a couple of pages of various types of poly line in their latest catalog. Hope this helps! ByeBye! S PS: All poly ropes are not created equal. Try before you buy to be sure that the line you are considering actually does float (make 'em get out a bucket!), unless the packaging specifically so states. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Aug 23 1999 - 10:06:35 PDT
