Our take on the Hollow Braided Polyethylene Rope
This is a 600-foot spool of hollow braided polyethylene rope, black with a blue tracer. Polyethylene rope floats, shrugs off water and sunlight, resists chemicals and is a poor conductor of electricity, which is why it shows up as hand line in cast-net fishing. Hollow braid is spliced by tucking one end into the other, so no hardware is needed to make loops or eyes. It is a utility rope, not a climbing or load-rated line.
- Floats, so it stays usable on the water
- Does not rot or break down from water and sunlight
- Hollow braid splices easily without fittings
- Light for its strength and cheap per foot over 600 feet
- Resists most chemicals and conducts electricity poorly

Questions and answers
- Is this rope strong enough for a cast net?
- Yes. Hollow braided polyethylene is a common hand-line material for cast nets. It is not rated for lifting or climbing, so do not use it for overhead loads.
- How do I splice hollow braid?
- Push one end into the hollow core of the other and work it in several inches, then taper the tail. No tools or fittings are needed.
- Does it float?
- Yes. Polyethylene is lighter than water, so the rope floats and is easy to spot with the blue tracer.
- Will sunlight damage it?
- Polyethylene holds up well to water and UV exposure. It still lasts longer stored out of direct sun when you can.
- What is in the box?
- One spool of hollow braided polyethylene rope, black with a blue tracer, 600 feet long.
- Is it good for towing or anchoring a boat?
- For light duty only. It has low stretch and floats, but low abrasion resistance and no load rating make it a poor choice for towing or permanent anchoring.
