🔵 600 Ft. Spool of Silver Amsteel Blue Rope, 7/64 Inch Review

Use for hanging in a hammock and for everything I can think of. This rope is incredible, extraordinarily strong. If I ever run out of rope, and it may be a while, I will definitely buy again.

Amsteel is an amazing material. Super strong and durable. Easy to splice and great for almost anything on a sailboat. I have outfitted my Amsteel sailboat to replace reef lines, tack lines, lazy jacks, topping lifts, backstays, shackles, lifelines and anything else you need to have extra strength and protection from chafing. It is lightweight, does not retain water and splices very easily.

I really like this product. However, I have a problem/question and maybe someone using this can tell me what I might need to do differently. I am not taking stars for this because the product is really good and my question is more than likely user error. I use regular paracord to tie the Midshipman's hitch and have no problem holding it under load. However, when I use this rope and tie the exact same knot, it slips under load. Has anyone else had this problem or do I need to change something? I

ATTENTION! Due to the nature of UHMW, this rope is slippery than nylon and therefore requires more and better knots unless you make a loop for carabiners or similar at each end. A spliced loop allows the rope to retain 100% strength, unlike knots which reduce strength by up to 60%. It arrived 2 days later than several other items I ordered at the same time, but it came from across the country so that's ok I guess. It was exactly what I ordered and it even came neatly wound on a plastic spool…
