Best rope to use for Box Traps?

« on: July 09, 2003, 08:26:15 AM »

Hi folks. I am going to be running 30 box traps this year and am wondering what is the best type of rope to use, also which diameter should I use? Thanks, Anthony

I use traps and all I can tell you is that the smaller the diameter of rope the more your hands will get cut up.

3/8" polypropylene - it floats - has tendency to destabilize with UV, keep em stored covered or shaded

Check out your law for "floating" rope ..... it's not allowed in some areas.
