cousin black widow

[Dilz]

anyone got any experience with cousin black widow rope?

Yes I’ve been using it for about 2 months now.
I was using Cousin Atrax which was lovely and fast through the Zig Zag but I found it just a bit too thin to grip easily .
The Black Widow is a very low stretch nice feeling rope but when fresh, still a bit shiny and slippy.
Personally I find these small spliced eyes a pain in the arse as the amount of times I’ve had to re-thread the splice through when it’s unintentionally popped out for me has far out-weighed any benefits .
It’s massively nicer than Drenaline which was boingy as zebedees botty .

yeah I'm. moving back to thicker ropes.

My big old paws don't like gripping the skinny stuff...ropes I'm on about but applies to women...and sandwiches also.
