updated. This line is too stiff and rolls on its own

Last and final update: This material is absolute junk. One of the worst products I've bought. Next to the Dynaglide throw line, the GM line is more than a wallet, it's a waste of time and energy. I highly recommend you spend the extra money on a Dynaglide reel, or at least don't buy that junk from GM. I threw mine out today. To update. I've been using this line for about a month and it still curls and curls on its own when pulled off in my cube or tarp. He's too hard. It's frustrating and takes too much effort and time to properly detach. I even hung the whole 5 lb cord from the tree and it's still puckering. Spend a little more money and get the Dynaglide line. You will not be disappointed and will save yourself a lot of frustration. Downgraded from 2 to 1 star. The line is nice and light and can only be thrown a mile of land if and only if you can keep it from twisting. I used it all day and no matter how I tried to stretch it, it rolled on itself when it came loose from my cubes. The same with a bucket of 5 liters. The best result I got was when I spread it very carefully on the tarpaulin. It took longer than it should because it keeps twisting and rolling instead of straightening out. Once I glued it properly to the tarp everything worked fine, but most of the time you try not to mess it up. After using it all day with a 16oz bag, it should have lost its twist and gotten less stiff, but it didn't. I even tied one end to a tree and tried to straighten it but it didn't work. I threw it by hand and with my big launcher but I couldn't get the spin out. I thought for the price this would be a good replacement for my Dynaglide line which is twice the price of this line. After using this leash all day I'm willing to pay 3x more for Dynaglide. My suggestion to anyone looking at this line is to spend the extra money and get a Dynaglide. You save time and nerves. Lesson learned. You get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Camping
