I need to find a source of light line (1/4 inch or less diameter) which floats. High breaking strength is not important, since this is not for towing or similar purposes. Ideally the line should be more flexibile than the braided yellow polyester stuff commonly sold at discount stores. (If anyone's interested, I hope to use the line as a long leash with which to keep my golden retriever dog from chasing ducks when she swims - she's a great dog in all other respects, but she has no sense at all and I don't want her "lost at sea".) So - a light line less than 1/4 inch - where to buy or order?

I have a friend that had her Lab go through the ice trying to get to some ducks in unfrozen area of a pond. I got verrrrry cold and wet getting her out! I'm curious as to just how the leash will keep your dog from trying to get to the ducks? Or is it to give you a means to retrive the retriver??? :-) John Blackburn Bill Hansen wrote: > I hope to use the line as a long leash with which to > keep my golden retriever dog from chasing ducks when she swims - she's a > great dog in all other respects, but she has no sense at all and I don't > want her "lost at sea".) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

(Moderator's Note: Content unaltered. Excessive quoting (i.e. headers/footers/sig lines/comments from previous posts, etc.) have been removed. Please edit quoted material and list footers when replying to posts.) The ultimate floating line: floating Spectra. Found one reference to it at http://www.theboatpeople.com/atr_safety.html#Floating_Rope Searching Google using "+floating +spectra +rope" found a bunch of sites. Haven't used it yet myself, but I'm going to try it out as a perimeter line and as a rescue/tow line. Hope this helps. -Kevin Zembower -- kevinz_at_charm.net Kevin Zembower On Mon, 29 Jul 2002, Bill Hansen wrote: > I need to find a source of light line (1/4 inch or less diameter) which > floats. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

You need polypropylene rope. It is light and it floats! You can buy it at Home Depot or similar store, or at a Marine supply store.
