Review on SGT KNOTS Twisted ProManila - UnManila, Lightweight Synthetic Rope For DIY Projects, Marine And Commercial Use (3/8" X 400Ft, 3 Strand Twisted) by Brett Kolpack

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Slippery When Wet but Practical and Strong

I have never purchased rope before, and I had expected that this product, made not from hemp but from fossil fuel derivative products, would be less than ideal for my purpose of moving a 1-ton magic boulder off of my property. But I was wrong, it worked out great. And if you melt the cut ends with your Bic lighter after cutting the line, and then squeeze the loose strands with your fingertips (ouch its a little hot), it's easier to tie knots when you need that end - your tagline (that's knot tying language).Anyhoo, I had a lot left over after I got that spooky boulder off the north-forty and onto a public highway, to get smashed by an 18-wheeler, so I cut myself 12' lengths to connect the front bumpers to the rear bumpers of cars in parking lots near me, where I could watch the fun commence using my Revain Prime spy binoculars.In summary, a plastic rope is fine, but it will be more slippery when wet as compared to a natural rope. And I suggest the 1/2" size for most uses, rather than the 3/4" that I have been using. I've got big hands and fat fingers, so the 3/4" size was easy enough to tie knots with. - James "Time Travel Wish" Mason
