    where to find guyline by the spool

    I'd like to find a spool of some polyester sheathed spectra guyline, fairly thin in diameter. my "google-foo" isn't working very well because I can't seem to find it except in small quantities. Can anyone point me to another source or brand name or something?

    I was looking for someone with a sheath so it'd hold knots better, but I'll take a look

    Lately I've been using the 200# test Dacron Planer Board Tow Line like this.

    I picked up some 150' spools for about $9.00 at Gander Mountain. It's high visibility and seems to be easy on the tangles.

    I like Zing-it for the tarp ridge-line but I don't really need a 400# line that cost 3 times as much for tie outs when the Tow Line is good to 200# and is also easy to splice.

    That sounds like something to try. Might have to run by Gander Mountain tomorrow...

    When I was in ours last week, it was an item they were closing out so it was 40% off.

    Go to the fishing section and be sure to ask specifically for Cortland Planer Board Tow Line in the 200# strength. If you mention you want something for guy lines they'll look at you crazy and send you to camping.

    How about some Speer No Tangle from Tree To Trail Gear? Although the description says its nylon sheathed. Many here use it for tarp guy lines and ridge lines. It holds knots well.

    OES also sells guy line too. It appears to be the same as the Speer No Tangle based on the description and pictures.

    Cheers

    Yep something like that but I was hoping to get a larger quantity (a spool maybe)
