I bought a 67' piece of Yale Poison Ivy to try out a few months ago and loved it. I just scored a 200' hank of Blue Moon with a sewn eye brand new in the bag for $120 shipped on Ebay. Came from some pawn shop in New Jersey. I threw in a lowball offer and it was accepted so lucky me!

Haven't bought it yet, was trying to decide with some input on it.
Going to buy some now though.
What do you think it would cost to ship some to you?

Expensive. I thought you had some you did not like. Thanks though. Sherrill it is.

Has your rope improved since milking it?
I'm on the fence with this rope and thinking it might be better to track down some Yale instead of Samson.

It did for sure. I tried it brand spanking new with the rrp,also new, and performed very jerky. Washed it and milked 18” off and was a different rope. I kind of like it now

You must be hard to please. Ivy lines are tops in my books.

NO I have not. I do love Yale ropes though. The tango ivy is Samson and does have a different feel . I’m sure u have something to say about that too

Nope, just trying to figure out if I should buy the Samson Ivy or stay with Yale.

Thinking this is the same rope, just different colors that aren’t Sherrill exclusive. Price is pretty fine though.
