I bought a jet ski and now it's time to get my toys!

Anyone own any of these. I got no local shop to touch and feel these, do these look ok? Which would you go with

Also I hear alot about bulletlines.com and there armored spectra. I got most if these rope ideas from wakeboarding.com through some searches and just wanna make sure they'll be fine for wakeskating off of a jet ski.

That mainline doesn't appear to be a non-stretch line. I'd avoid it. Especially if you're willing to put good money into a nice rope/handle.

But if you really wanna go the cheap route then Boardstop carries that handle as well. http://www.boardstop.com/product_info.php?cPath=67_55_254&products_id=4196

scott a, whats so different in a non-stretch line? besides the obvious. i've rode plenty of non-stretch lines behind boats, never rode one behind my ski. imo, i cant tell much of a difference between the switch.

LG is where it's at.

I actually can't even tell what kind of core that LG line package is either. The only one that states it has the no-stretch core is the accurate package.

Jcoffey - Everyone I've heard said you probably won't notice the difference between no stretch and low stretch until you've actually tried a no stretch. They claim it makes a world of difference though. The Spectra and Dyneema cores seem to be the true no stretch ropes on the market. Since I don't own a rope I'd rather just drop the couple extra buck and get the best.

no stretch is the way to go.. ive made the transition, it is two different worlds for me. especially on my ski. dont waste ur money on low stretch

Personally I just weave my ropes out of hemp and use sticks for handles

Lollar is secretly a grower, and uses the hemp byproduct for lines, stems for handles
