I am looking for some rope/line to make mini whoopie slings. It won't be carrying a huge load, maybe 100 lbs. I need alot of it, so it would be great if it wasnt too expensive! Any suggestions? Thanks! STEVE:)

Zing-it! I use it for everything except my hammock suspension.
Wheres the best place to buy it?----------------and is it easy to splice? (hollow core like amsteel?)
zing-it http://www.reddenmarine.com/samson-rope-zing-it.html
lash-it http://www.reddenmarine.com/samson-rope-lash-it.html
Either one can be used to make mini whoopies and both are hollow.
Lash-it is grey and zing-it is yellow.

He also carries amsteel in all colors at very competitive prices.
Hey Dog, is the Zing-it stiff? will it work for a prussick? I am looking to make some cool prussicks for my ARL.Quote:

I just picked up some lash-it from West Marine. You'll probably have to have them order it since most of their stores don't stock it. Also, take a print out of Redden Marine's price and they will match it. This could save you some money if you can avoid paying for shipping.
It will work for prussicks. It's a little slippery so you might have to put an extra wrap or two. Also, many people find that a Klemheist Knot holds a little better.Quote:
