High quality, highly reflective fishing line at a reasonable price.

Quality line with high reflectivity. I use it to pull a ridge cable over a Hennessy Hex tarp. The line is long enough for a continuous ridge line for this tarp with barrels left over to accommodate wide trees. My only complaint (why it doesn't get 5 stars) is the lack of smoothness. While you don't want a super slick line, you do need one that slides easily through the line tensioners. This line tends to snag a bit on my line tensioners unless it's at just the right angle when passing. Someโ€ฆ

Too stretchy for a proper tent line in bad weather.

As another reviewer noted, it is overly stretchy (stretches 1.5 inches per foot of cord), making it a poor choice for securely tensioned tent/rain canopy lines and bad news for windy weather . In the rain at night, but with a headlight it is clearly visible. It seems strong enough to hang a bear sack, use as a clothesline, or tie a tarp, maybe breaking 30lbs or so (nothing stated on packaging regarding weight capacity), but they're a lot less stretchy and there is there are probably strongerโ€ฆ

Get reflective cord, save some tape

I used this rope to replace a couple of tie downs on my tent. The first trip to a state park in the west has proven its worth. Returning to the tent in the dark with a half-extinguished flashlight, I quickly noticed two reflective lines, which I replaced from 15 feet away. Several times in my life I've tripped over lines in the dark when I wasn't paying attention to them. After seeing these lines in the dark I will replace all of my tent lines with this reflective string and do the same with my

Pros
  • Rope, cord and webbing
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Reflection Photo

Because reflectivity is so important, I decided to take a photo and show six options. This is a flash photo taken at night. The far left pattern is a 3.5mm Blue Water reflective nylon cord. It's smooth and soft, as you would expect from a kernmantle rope; reflective threads are very bright, but there are not many of them. Its breaking strength is 500 lbf. (2.2kN). Next is the 2.5mm Nite Ize. There are more reflective threads in this cable, and they kind of stick out on the surface. It reflectsโ€ฆ
