NO!....... Not that kind!!!  :bang :bang ~roflmao ~roflmao

I'm trying to find a place to buy some different colors of Hollow poly line....It's hollow in the center and can be spliced into itself.

You know the kind that you can find at Walmart that comes in white or yellow....

I've got those colors but I'm looking for other colors such as red, blue, green, orange, etc in 20' or 50' lengths.

I know they make them because I've got some culling ropes with those colors and they look to be about 3/8ths or 1/2 inch diameter...

Does anyone know of a site that sells this type of line?

would plastic air line for truck brakes work?

Thanks for the link Dug but they only sell Bulk and not much choice of color.... Know of any other sites?

Are 100" lengths too much for you?
The colors are International Orange, yellow, red,  black,  hunter green, green and white, blue and white, and white.

Don't think I can do any better for you but I will look.

You can also try here.

Nope that one won't work either..... :(

It can't be that tough to find these colors somewhere on the net in 3/8ths or 1/2 inch.  :bang

Thanks for trying anyway Dug.... I thought a "fresh" pair of eyes might help. :(

It's not so much the diameter that's the challenge.  It's finding them in less that 100 foot lengths.

Dug

Email these guys and see what they have to offer.   Asking instead of just looking at webpages should get you further in your search.

Yer close smart arse but not quite there!  >:D ~roflmao ~roflmao ~roflmao ~roflmao ~roflmao

I'm trying to make some Culling ropes for some friends and need the different colored rope to make them with. I've got a set that I made but I can't seem to find the rope anywhere. These work great because the poly rope floats.

how about some pictures?

Boy, I thought he was looking for some more rope to hang him self with.... :bang

Goosh Bill can't wait to see the new Culling Ropes......Hope I'm one of the lucky ones  aa ......I'll be needing them since I'm about to wear out my other ones from all the fish I have been catching.... :roll2:

 aa Why me lord.........Why me!  aa

Lead on WildBill Lead On......Well follow the gator boat to heck and back...that is after we make sure it's the correct gator boat.  ~c~

Better you than me :roll2: :roll2: :roll2:

Come on Bill you are retired Military use your resources ~shade

would weedeater string work that is what I'm making mine out of. would like to see some pics of yours though may have to change mine to them also.

Nope... Been the "weed eater" Route and they tangle too easy in the livewell..

still looking.... :(

Try parachute cord.  It comes in 32 colors! You can always add small floats with numbers...  The white middle core will come out and you have hollow line.

Dug

http://www.vtarmynavy.com/parachute_cord.htm (http://www.vtarmynavy.com/parachute_cord.htm)

could buy some white and they dye it to the color you want.

The only problem with small floats is, I've had them get clogged in the overflow and with the pumps running the water finds it's way in the bilge and before long my bilge pump is running.... This happened with the BPS Culling system I had purchased.... Then I Tried the Chains with the little crankbait floats on them and they got tangled and the chains broke to easily... The floating poly rope adds no stress to the fish as they are not attached to a float making the fish come up in the livewell of the bottom where they like to be...I tried dying the white ropes the colors I wanted but that didn't work using Lure dye or paint. That's why I'm looking for the Colored Poly rope. I know it's out there somewhere I just can't seem to find it. :bang

Well I guess I will try my parachute cord when I get home from work and let you know if it floats.  If it does, you can get 50" lengths for 3.95 each 32 different colors.

If you find the rope I want in :-*

However, for now I found some pens that kids use to draw on back packs and clothes at Wal Mart in the arts and crafts section. Directions are to apply and then heat set (I used a blow dryer for just a minute) before laundering, I figured if it could hold up to a washing machine it should hold up in a live well. Seems to be working. I don't know now long it will last but I can't wash it off yet. Still letting it soak in water for a while to see what happens. So far so good :-*

a set of 5 pens was only 6 bux ;) It's a little more effort than finding colored rope but it works ~c~

Parachute cord only floats for awhile that's not an option.  I like Mike's suggestion but that would be a pain in the butt to do for 20 ft... 

Mike, does it say what kind of dye material it is, perhaps there is another way??

Dug

Ha!!!!! I found some!!!

Just says it's all natural  :roll2: must be pigmy die or something. It's not bad I only colored about 6-8 inches, just enough to distigush one from the other.

Just use white line and get come colored electrical shrink wrap a few inches long.  Heat the wrap with a blow dryer....End of problem.....geeeeeez you navy guys always did have problems managing your lines :roll2: :roll2: :roll2:


http://cableorganizer.com/heat-shrink/ (http://cableorganizer.com/heat-shrink/)

Oh.....I'll be expecting my free set that you'll be making me 8) 8) 8)

Hey Monkey... I'm waaaay ahead of you on that....I'm not looking for a stop gap measure like you Coasties do... I'm looking for the real thing...

I know I can use shrink tubing or colored electrical tape(which I'm using now) but I want more more professional looking product when I'm done making these things.

Here's what I have now:


(https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fim1.shutterfly.com%2Fprocserv%2F47b7df25b3127cce803e717fd06700000016108AZuWLhm1bNs&hash=ddff246f5e8164f80e8252b2157524325588e9bc)

Notice the "orange" one.... This is the one I tried to dye because I lost the original. It has already started fading...

If anyone has any other Sources. Please post them for me.

Bill, why don't you go to Home Depot and buy one of those '900 cable ties for $10' deals. They have assortments of small cable ties in red,green, yellow, black and white.  Use white cord and just put 5 red ties on one, 5 yellow ties on another, etc.  Trim the end of the cable ties close and you should be good to go.

Good idea Neil but still not a professional looking solution... I'm looking for the Hollow Poly Different Colored Line so that they look like the ones I am trying to duplicate....

I know there's got to be a manufacturer of this line out there somewhere and I would have sworn with the resources we have here that someone would find them cause I sure haven't been able to.. :(

Are you looking for something like this?

Nope.... those are not hollow Poly.... See that's the problem...I'm finding all kinds of sites that sell all kinds off different "Like" products but I can't find the site that has the Poly colored rope, line whatever you want to call it that looks like the pic that I posted. This is getting very frustrating as I know it's got to be out there somewhere. :bang :bang :bang

Yup that's the same link I gave him. 

Unfortunately I think your going to have to find someone that's buying the larger lengths and buy some off them....  However the 100 ft lengths aren't really that much more.
Or bid for those other colors on ebay.  Just how many colors do you want? 

If you buy the larger amounts (100ft) I am sure there are more than a few of us that would be willing to buy a set at a decent price and you can recoop.  Heck you might even get some pre-orders to help you with the expense of it figure out what a set would cost and let me know... I will pre-order if you can wait until the 12th and have a paypal account.

Dug

Dug... It's really not the expense either....I'm looking for All the colors you see in the Pic.. White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, and Blue or Black. None of the sites so far that I've seen offer all these colors in 3/8 or 1/2...

Yup but they do in the 1/4 size.  If you can down size your in business!

Or you can try here..

Hey Bill just as a quick question.. >:D..Where did you get your current ropes from???????????

I give up! Guess my friends just ain't worth the effort!  ::)

I found them Call me ~c~ ~c~

Andy he needs ropes made out of a fiber type material not concrete.... :roll2:

:roll2: :roll2: Very funny you should be a comedian

Nope he didn't find them.... :( He found premade and I'm looking for bulk....

seems like you're SOL :'( :'( :'(

Hey   ~gator I went to gander Mtn today and they had some culling systems that was made out of solid rubber colored would that work. It was about 1/4 in size but had no floats on it just had the clips that went on the fish. It was the clips that goes on Id badges.
