Mine are really degraded from the Florida sun.
I use 1/2" and need new.
Any brand recommendations from the boaters out there?
Floridians and south only. Because that's where they'll be used.

Are they nylon? That usually holds up pretty well in the sun.
Polypropylene will start degrading in a year.
I use 3 lay line because it is easy to splice. I just buy it in bulk
and make up whatever I need. We keep lots of lines on board for
various towing operations. I have pulled everything up the river from
a train of 10 kayaks to a 52' tour boat and all manner of logs,
pilings, lumber and other things we find floating

Yes, nylon. But they're about 8 years old and chaffed. Lost their
stretch too. I'd get some bulk 3-lay but I'm tired of fid work.
Just want some good 25-30 footers.
Anybody ever use this?
