    Rope For Ghetto Fiddle Block?

    Same here, I rarely use a capture since I rarely work alone. Also. Once you have a Maasdam continuous rope puller, the 5:1 set up rarely comes out of the bag. It becomes the go to.

    Rope For Ghetto Fiddle Block?

    I'll see what I have lying about. But dont rule out the 3/8ths stable braid or even Samson accessory cordage. 8mm has about a 3500# tensile strength. Cheap. 200# pull into a 5:1 system is 1000# pull potential. And each leg of the system does not realise that 1000#...

    Dont over look 3/8ths stable braid. Splicable. WesSpur sometimes has remnants. Cheap enough if not. Light lowering line as well. Hold up to Natty Crotch fine
