Mega Plait / Mega Braid Line
I plan to order 600' of 5/8" line to make 2 300' lines for tying to shore . I thought I knew what I wanted until I started to look at catalogs.
Can anyone tell me the real difference between
New England
Mega Plait, Mega Braid & Mega Braid II and Marlow Multiplait?
Also, any suggestions for the best
price
(shipped to a
USA
address).

I'm a three strand guy. But
Rigging
only are really helpful and I am sure that they would help you decide.

Don't forget other manufacturers. I recently bought Vectran from Yale Cordage and am very impressed with
price
and quality. See
Pleasure Marine - Yale Cordage
cheers,
