3/8” stable braid.

Anybody have this in their arsenal? It’s cheap, and has a respectable rating to it. I ordered 200’ for light duty rigging, but mostly for a zip line (it’s fairly low stretch) Shipped it was about $.50/foot. Curious if anybody has some experience with it.

We have a 300’ hank that we use for light rigging and light speedline work. My crew loves it. It is so light. Can be a little tangly at times. Really easy to splice just like all Stable Braid lines.

I've got some of it and built a light duty ring and ring for it. 150' of rope and ring and ring only takes up about half of a rope bag. It works pretty good, surprisingly strong and very easy to throw with some weight for remote sets.

I've always wanted some for the same uses.
I do have a hank of it from TS back in their good days. It was a ''special addition'' for breast cancer awareness. Yup. it's hot pink. I bought it for my girl. I wanted to make her a hammock from it. She gave me so much shit for buying her a rope, I wound it up into the perfect hank. I then hung it in the bedroom closet for her reminder of what a bitch she was. It's still there LOL.

Thanks for all the feedback!! I think it’ll be a good addition to the quiver.

If there's any downside, the groundie may have to add a little more friction than they might originally think. It's smaller in the hand, so a little harder to hold (minimally), and less surface contact on the bollard.

Not a big adjustment, somewhere around an additional 1/2 wrap from half inch.

That makes sense. The guys are pretty intuitive, and the 3/8” will be reserved for light duty brush rigs (I anticipate).

I roll with a 100’ and 200’ everything Ryan and others said plus climber control rigging. Pairs well with a Scarab https://www.conterra-inc.com/cdn/shop/products/ScarabFR.jpg?v=1620753057

I have some and I love it, short Hank too for tag lines is awesome.

We have one for that purpose. I feel a little guilty when I’m hoisting it up, like I’m getting away with something. But, it ties knots, it holds wood, it makes money.

I keep a 120’ for speedline work and tag lines and have a 300’ I use and a haul back line for when I setup my kids zip line.

Has anyone ever run it in a Rig N' Wrench? My guess would be not enough friction, but 1/2" stable braid is too much friction.
