Received mine Friday, about a week after I placed the order. Great quality lines. You CANNOT beat their prices on lines.

Call Chris at mad dog customer service,customer service,customer service! Good find LubeJob!

I used my lines for the first time this weekend,. As soon as they hit the water the color came off. By the afternoon the lines Disintegrated and my boat floated away!
Just joking.
That is how my stories normally go but not this time! The lines are beautiful. I ordered additional lines and fender lines twice already.! I'm so glad I found Chris!!

Its been such a love fest thread with these sewn poly lines.
No disputing polypropylene braid can be just as good looking as nylon, quick to produce and cheap BUT Nylon still rules for durability and strength.

Poly works fine for day boating raft ups but will deteriorate with full time exposure to sunlight, much more susceptible to abrasion. Plus the general nature of the poly is not as strong as nylon to handle the pounding of a storm not to mention a sewn eye.

It's a popular thread because these are the lines that most of us buy all of the time. As long as they look good, keep the boat tied to the dock and last one season I'm happy.

I use poly on my 150ft steel hull supply boat. The get drenched in salt water daily and hang in the sun all day very day. They still hold me in place.

I also splice all my own poly. It holds just fine. That article is skewed
