Go buy yourself a nice 50' rope, keep it in your truck and get 'r done. “Wildlife and its habitat cannot speak, so we must and we will.” – Theodore Roosevelt

You know, I still have about 50 feet of 1/2 inch hemp line I carried on my 1978 service truck hanging in the shed. If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

I'd haul two Trials bikes in the back of the truck plus a cooler chest using 10 ft of 1/4 inch sash cord. nylon stretches too much plus the oil breaks it down, cotton is more durable, ties better and takes the weather better. Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.
