Texas Bushcraft Tarred Bank Line Twine - #36 Black Nylon String for Fishing, Camping and Outdoor Survival – Strong, Weather Resistant Bankline Cordage for Trotline (1 lb - #36 (525 ft), Braided)

Great product! Tarred line great for many situations!!! Non-slip knots:)

Alles super

I ordered 1lb of #36. Good feel, good grip, nice to work with, not oversaturated with tar, no strong smells, so far so good. BUT, my spool has several frayed sections in the first few yards, so I won't be able to depend on it for strength. Which is really too bad. At the first one I thought I might have just hit a splice point, but after the next couple, well, so much for this brand. I'll bring it car camping where weight doesn't matter, and leave it behind anywhere I'm not willing to bring the whole roll as backup.

Good for bank lines fishing, very durable. The line does tend to twist and kink a bit which is why I gave it 4 stars.

I like it a lot. I have "wasted" some of it to tie and practice my knots and lashings with which has come in handy but I did reuse some of those pieces. I used some of it for my kids zippers. Nothing fancy just ur standard knot and used heat shrink tubing to cover the knot with to make it look more fancy/professional than it really is lol. It is stiff when you first get it. I'm sure it's either the manufacturing process or just the coating they used for the added durability and abrasion resistance but it does make it kind of difficult to use. For example, those little pieces I used on the backpack zippers, bc of the stiffness and lack of flexibility, it was difficult to even get the ends of the line through the bight to tie it off the know and it was also a little difficult to tighten the knot which often led to me either using my teeth and pulling or a pair of pliers just to get it to tighten. I will say this tho, as I was practicing my knot tying and my lashings, the line did easier to work with and did get a little more flexible. Functionality, weight, size, and so far it has been worth the price. The real test will come when we go camping and I get to use it like I intended but so far it's been great. The knot strength is great, I didn't use the heat shrink tubing on the line knot bc I thought the knot would come undone, I used it for aesthetics just to make it look more professional rather than "someone tied a piece of 'rope' to these zippers". I do love this product and so far it has worked perfectly for everything I have used it for. I got a lot of bank line for what I paid for it in comparison to what I could've paid.
