Leicester Fisheagle Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I know there have been a lot of postings about this over the last few weeks and that several members have purchased new rope. As I am now looking for something decent for fishing deeper water marks I followed through a link from the site to Boatropes a small firm that sells on ebay and run by Barry Edwards. I don't know if anyone has dealt with him but I have just received samples from him. Not sure if his prices are the best available hence the posting. Also during my search I revisted a site I had not used for a few years. Its called www.animatedknots.com much better than it used to be and well worth looking at for boat and fishing knots for most basic knots. Multiplait nylon 12mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 the only double braid I know is a sheathed construction and not what I would use for anchoring! stick to multiplait (octoplait) and if I was buying a full 200m drum of 12mm I would expect the postage to be covered at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 i picked up 200m of blue nylon 10mm rope for under 20 squid and it was crap!!! It wouldn't coil and was perminatley knotted, BUT for whatever reason, after i used it a few times, and gave it plenty of stretch whilst trying to break out the anchor trip whilst stuck in those ledge rocks, it just seemed to go limp, and now it coils great! Very odd! But i'm not complaining! Still wouldn't reccomend it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Fisheagle Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Have finally decided to go for the real thing a drum of anchor plait. It should make things a lot easier in deeper water but will it imrove the catch rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 It should make things a lot easier in deeper water but will it imrove the catch rate? simple answer is yes easy anchoring in deeper water means you will reposition as required rather than sitting out a tide- and you will be rewarded long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
