Catahoula Tarred, Twisted, Nylon Twine, 21 (1/4 lb)

Buyer beware. Instead of what may appear to be a typical 1 pound roll of twine this is actually less than 1/4 pound roll. You are paying 4 times the price that you pay elsewhere. Although the description is technically correct in giving the number of feet of twine, the average unsuspecting customer doesn't realize that they are buying a tiny roll of twine at an inflated price.

I'm new to the world of bank line, but feel like I've made a great discovery..............in a "late to the dance" sort of way. 550 cord is great, and proven, but expensive, and almost cliche' in today's world. Bank line just quietly gets the job done while being very easy to handle. Other reviewers have already sung the praises of this product and I agree with them, so I'll keep this short. I DO want to warn buyers that Amazon is shipping #48 line when ordering #36. I've bought two separate one pound spools of this line, and #12336 should be #36 line The spools arrive as #48 but have been labeled with the wrong sticker on the outside of the wrappers. I'd prefer #36 to get more linear feet per pound, but the added tensile strength is OK, so I'm not bothering to return the line. Just a heads-up.

This is lightly tared nylon cord. thinner than paracord, but holds a knot well.if you know what your are doing, i am sure you could set a snare with it easily, but according to the research i have been doing online, this would not work for a bow. probably wont stretch enough. anyway, the cord is good for many uses, and is much lighter and smaller in the pocket than paracord. (I keep rope in my pocket and practice knots to fidget.) I did have to use a lighter to fuse the ends of the rope after cutting it but that is expected.One thing is it will cut into the hands if pulling on the cord with the hands, and this is due to the size.

This was highly recommended by bushcrafters to use as a substitute for paracord.This will do VERY nicely to do a bunch of things. Tent guy lines, Ridge lines , tripods, emergency shoe laces and a bunch of other tasks.#36 tarred bank line is incredibly strong.This particular company makes some premium cordage.If you want to put it into your pack I suggest you put it into a large zip lock bag, it is tarred, not messy but it might interact with some synthetic materials. It’s probably resistant to insects as well.IMO, it’s a prepper must have. Nice quality line.

Found out about this stuff from Dave Canterburys YouTube videos. All I can say is thank you sir. This stuff is freaking great. In some ways way better then 550. Once you tie a knot it's probably never coming back out. Just a warning

I picked up some of this tarred cordage at the swap meet many years ago.I used it for just about everything imaginable. It was really great stuff, and very strong.Eventually I ran out. I looked all over hoping to find some more. No luck.Very recently I was running through Amazon just looking around. Low and behold I found some. I couldn't be more thrilled.Needless to say I told myself I would not run out again. I ordered many spools of both braided and twisted. This is really great line. You can use this cordage for absolutely anything and everything.The sky is the limit. Bottom line, I couldn't be more pleased.You will love it and it's many uses.If you're not sure, just purchase one spool.You will not be sorry. Just don't run out !

I bought a 1lb spool of #36. When I opened the package I noticed the “distinctive” petrol smell, that seems to go away or I got used to it, no big deal unless you move to California.Otherwise, this stuff is great! I am impressed by how you can unwrap about 6” of the stuff and hold it at darned near horizontal. I tied Prusik knots on various materials, all held really well. Bowlines, trucker’s hitch, and arbor knots hold really well too. Tarring helps keep the twist together. You can also singe the ends and press them to finish the end. The tar is a little tacky but doesn’t get on your hands; I’m not sure what kind of sorcery is this.

The thing about this bankline is that because of the tar, it pulls tight and doesn't let go. I've really heaved on this hard and it hasn't broken, while at the same time its very easy to cut with your knife. I've used it to hang tarps, as well as make a stool in the woods for doing the business that is numero dos out the bunghole. I can't speak between this one and the lesser amount of higher test line, but for what it's worth I'd get this and keep this.

Good quality cord. No problem at all buying from the US. Better value than the smaller rolls you get from UK suppliers.

Good and strong!

Does everything I have seen on you tube if a bit pricey

Best stuff I have used in years

very very strong
