Double braid construction ensures the rope is durable, flexible, shock-absorbing, and exceeds Cordage Institute standards for strength. The large-size hand-spliced eye ensures easy use and high termination strength, and is properly lock-stitched at the throat. The bitter end is heat cut, sealed, trimmed, hand-whipped, and tagged for size, for great looks and durability. Resists rot, mold, oil, and sun. Colors are extrusion dyed to help prevent bleed and fade. Length is from bitter end to end of loop. 5/8" Docklines feature a 16" loop.
