Questions & Answers
You don't have to. Fraying is prevented by the tar on the line. I hope this information is useful in making your purchase.
Sizes in mm and inch can be found by searching for bank line size chart on Google.
This is how many lines you will receive. In comparison to 1 pound, 1/4 pound of line is used. The size is indicated by a number, such as 36 or 18, on the bank line.
The test strength of the size 37 bank line is approximately 350 pounds. Even in strong winds, securing a tarp is simple and effective.

br>br>I'm always trying out new outdoor gear, so I thought I'd compare this to some of the other tarred twine I've tried, including Catahoula, which has been my favorite so far. I figured I'd give Ironclad a shot to see if it could be beaten. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this twine felt EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER! I believe it has simply been renamed. Worst of all, there is a price difference. The Catahoula twine, on the other hand, costs only $6. This one is $14 for the 1/4 pound and 00 for the 1/2 pound. 99! That's 2. 5 TIMES THE PRICE FOR THE EXACT SAME ITEM! br>br>I'm not a fan of this, so I'll be returning it.
This is the toughest twine I've ever used, and it outperforms the others by a wide margin. br>br>The twine is available in a variety of diameters and weights; I chose 36 1/4 LB TWISTED BANK LINE because I needed a flexible yet tough string that I could pull taught to lay out a fence-line. Despite the fact that it was a hot day, the tar coating surprised me because my hands were completely clean! It doesn't crack or come off. It does not cling to anything. This product would be useful in construction, hunting, camping, and fishing, as well as hundreds of other applications. br>It is very flexible and holds a knot without the slippage seen with plain nylon twine (which is always much smaller than the Bank Line). The tar coating prevents the nylon from deteriorating due to exposure to the sun. This results in a durable twine that can be left on a job site or trot line for days or weeks at a time. Overall, a fantastic product!br>br>Suggestions: Perhaps use a more common description in case someone is unfamiliar with the terms 36 and 1/4 pound? br>Overall, I like how the plastic and wrapper are kept to a minimum. The plastic is tough enough to withstand shipping tears while still being easy to remove. br>The wrapper is perfect. br>The tube inside the roll of twine is large enough that I could unroll it quickly with a screwdriver handle or even my fingers. There are a lot of other rolls that need to be unrolled. br>br>At first, I didn't recognize the brand, but it's simple to remember once you see it. I wasn't sure about the tar coating at first, but I can see the advantages now. The biggest advantage for me is that tying a knot is much easier and does not slip as easily as nylon twine does.
I ordered a roll of 18 braided bank line and was very pleased with the quality of the cord; it is very strong and appears to hold up well under stress. br>br> When you first remove it from the roll, it is a little stiff, but it loosens up after a while. br>br>I started by making a short version of the traditional paracord bracelet. The bank line is very strong and does not slip like paracord, and it does not stretch, making these types of projects very simple. Untying complex knots (or the paracord bracelet) requires a little more effort, but it is possible. br>br>Next, I experimented with a variety of knots, all of which seemed to hold up well, despite the fact that the tar is sticky. This will be ideal for lashing and guy lines to tie out a tarp shelter. br>br> It should be able to withstand the elements thanks to the tar coating. Another plus is that the ends don't fray when cut, so they don't need to be melted together like paracord. Overall, Ironclad tarred bank line is very good quality cordage that appears to be stronger than paracord pound for pound; I will not be replacing paracord in my kits, but will be adding a supply of bank line instead.
I was given a roll that was not 1 pound and 400 feet long. It measures 138 feet and is labeled incorrectly. It will be returned because it does not match the description.
It's exactly what I was looking for. Because of the make-up, expect it to have a chemical odor, as I did. It isn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated. I unrolled it to give it room to breathe. It has helped to reduce the odors.
I used a small weight on the end of this heavy cord to slingshot it high into the air and over a high branch, then hoisted my dipole antenna with it. It's a strong material that's also simple to work with.
This is the first time I've bought cordage of this type. It appealed to me because it is both lighter and more durable than paracord. Because it's tarred, it makes the cordage stiff, it takes some getting used to. So far, it's been a success. If you purchase it, keep in mind that it will take some time to get used to.
Exactly what I needed and ideal for any job ranging from securing a tarp to securing a water bag to filter on a Bug Out Bag camping trip. This material is far superior to paracord in terms of performance.
