I'm going up to Performance on Thursday, and I need to get a "non-stretch" rope...any suggestions please?

go with a dyneema rope. Im using a Straight Line Team line and love it. 83' and 15 bucks cheaper then the accurate a-line.

I have had good luck my my straight line. IMO, get the cheapest one they have. I haven't been able to tell the difference between "non-stretch..spectra" ropes.

I've ran over two ropes so far...so I should probably buy a white one, lol.

I just bought a hot pink helium rope after driving over my (hopefully) last rope I've wrapped in the prop and had to cut out.

i hate wrapping the rope up in the prop. it's not fun to dive under a supra in the middle of the lake and cut that thing loose.

Accurate A line is the awesome, smooth cover keeps water and dirt out and feels smooth running through your fingers, no snags or tangels, cant say enough its sweeeeet!

Ronix Roam handle, and the line that comes with it.
it's the most comfortable handle you'll ever put your hands on. Wink

I got my rope from Dicks sporting goods. It's a non stretch accurate line. It's not jacketed, but i got it for 30 bucks because they didn't know what they were selling. Definitely a good deal.
