Spiderjack rope choice

[porktaco]

I just picked up a spiderjack, and was wondering what rope everyone prefers for performance in that device. I heard that using a larger diameter rope makes it easier on your thumb using the wooden block for braking. Let me know what your experiences are- I would appreciate it!

I've used tachyon, velocity, and imori. They all played very well with it.

I ahve had a year on the Gleistein Lizard 11mm, very nice.
and few times on the 11mm velocity pretty cool.

I really like it on cougar. I've also run it on tachyon which is nice, but not as fast as the cougar.

Has anybody tried PI? I've been using Imori on mine and I don't like it.

I seccond the Imori, its what i use and works well.

I ordered the imori and have liked the way it performs with the spiderjack so far-

I'm into my second year on the SJ using tachyon and I've had no issues, but I'm thinking about going to a smaller line, possibly velocity. Most suppliers have tachyon listed as 11.5mm but the diameter is more like 1/2" and cougar is listed as 11.7mm and its diameter is more like 11mm.
