What Kind of Rope Tie On to the Spear?

[TroutYammer]

What kind of rope (color, thickness, strength and lenght) do you all recommend for tying on to the spear for Dark House Spearing?

[Spearing Machine]

Not sure of the thickness or strength of rope I have but I guess its a pretty standard rope. White in color about 10 feet in length. Helps for when your in deeper water and to let the fish thrash on the bottom for a bit.

I think I use 3/8 or 1/4 nylon rope is what I use.

I have heard parachute cord works good and does'nt get tangled up as easy. Has anyone used it? Where do you get it?

I have picked it up from the Military surplus store just south of Little Falls (Crazy Jim). Ive also had luck asking people in the military.

The big "C" in Rogers has it. That's all I use it works great and it's nice and limp

Any camping or surplus store. It is just lightweight nylon rope.

Thank you everybody! This is such a great web sight! I mean where else can you go and get lots of information on such an esoteric subject as to what kind of rope to tie on to your Darhouse Spear! Excellent! Once again thank you!

[MJ1657]

Probably should'nt use big words like esoteric on here. You will confuse most of us.

[Gordie]

MJ are you saying that we would be abstruse

[MJ1657]

If I knew what that meant I could answer!
