+Skandix Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Me and my partner want to plant an underwater-station for a multicache. Cacher shouldn't dive - they pull the cache with rope out of the water. The Question is: Which material do I use for the rope? Stainless Steal, fabric, plastic, ect.? Does any of you have experience with this? Quote Link to comment
+Mudfrog Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Kinda depends on what is at the end of the rope. If it's a stage of the cache where you just want coordinates, say in a preform tube, then just about anything will work. Myself, i'd go for that black trotline string or heavy monofilament. If it is a larger container, say the final, then something heavier might be in order. Stainless fishing wire with a heavy enough rating and crimps would work well. But again, the heavier black trotline string would probably be good. All of these will hold up great but the stainless would last the longest. Quote Link to comment

+Ant89 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Dyneema cord is what you want. but would go for Dyneema core, polyester sheath as it's easier to tie than pure dyneema http://www.extremtextil.de/catalog/Dyneema-Polyester-cord-1-25mm-32-windings::548.html should be fine unless your cache is going to weigh more than 120kg...

+cerberus1 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Not knowing how, or with what folks would "pull the cache" out of the water, I'd stick with a 25-50# fishing wire. The wire will hold up better (than the fabrics and mono) to abrasion. After losing many, used fishing wire only on anchors/connectors, when it was profitable to trap. Quote Link to comment
+Skandix Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 thanks a lot for all these replies. I have a pretty good idea what to try now. Hope one of you may enjoy our cache in the future Quote Link to comment
