I hope someone can help me locate a source for line for kayak tow bags. 
      I am looking for 100% polypropylene, solid  braid, soft finish and 
very flexible, 1/4 to 3/8 inch rope, in lengths of 50  feet or longer (15 
meters in Canada).
    So far I have visited REI, local hardware  store, Lowe's, Home Depot 
(note that much of the rope labeled polypropylene  in the box stores is 
actually mixed fibers, when you read the fine print.)   I can lots of hard finish 
twisted poly pro rope, absolutely not appropriate for  this need. Have not 
checked marine stores yet.
     It is very hard to tell on amazon or Ebay what is  actually being 
sold. I have questions posted to a couple of sellers on  Ebay.
   Does anyone have a source for this rope?  Your help is  appreciated. 
Thanks.
                       Pam in Washington State.
