Not running these down but mine exhibited quite a bit of stretch at LOTO this year and require a vigilant check often. They also have slightly faded but still look ok. I just ordered some from Top Knot for KW. I figure they are ess expensive than having a line stretch and the paint getting damaged. They are fine for calm water. IMHO!

Top Knot performed extremely well. They are heavier stiffer and hold their color.
The other brand stretched and frayed on pilings in KW and stretched under stress from wave action at LOTO. I had to readjust them numerous times due to stretching. The other brand is ok lines for what you pay for them but I trust my paint to Top Knot lines.

For how I boat, the MD lines are perfect. The customer service was outstanding. Bought all new 5/8 lines of assorted sizes. Also bought a 150' anchor line. Oh, and lines for the bumpers. We tie off to cleats so no concern with pilings. Bought some lines for a few friends and they have performed well from what I know and all in a variety of colors. No fade but we pull out nearly every night and I try hard to keep the lines dry. No issues with mildew or fade on the anchor line. Two thumbs up

I bought a bunch of stuff last year, prices are great, and product was nice. Everything was available in so many colors it was nice. I also bought an automatic/manual life jacket. They are $110 on the website, but they are a seller on eBay and I picked it up for like $88.
I bought an extra charge, I'm waiting to jump in my pool soon to test it out, lol.

This season I started putting all new lines on customers boats I do a pre season prep on, less than $100 for 3 lines and 3 fender whips from md and customers think it's the best thing ever. It adds up but when a customer walks down the dock, boat is in the slip, with all new lines on it they usually tip more than the lines cost me
