New England T-900 Braided Rope features a unique core of blended Dyneema SK75 and Technora with a durable polyester cover. Bringing the best characteristics from each core fiber, T-900 has virtually no creep or stretch, has great resistance to flexing fatigue and abrasion, is light weight, and has zero moisture pick up. Easy to handle, T-900 is a firm line that holds wells in the clutches and does not hockle or develop meat hooks like wire does. T-900 improves overall performance with easy handling, weight savings aloft, and extremely low stretch. Highly recommended for halyard replacements.
