Does anyone know what knot a manilla rope flipline uses? I've seen them around, but I have not seen them in use.

SRT-Tech said:the manila covers a 1/2" thick braided steel cable, just like a regular wirecore flipline. I think the idea behind the manila overwrap is that it is thicker and easier to grip when flipping.
rbtree said:Hey SRT, I reckon you just mistyped, as that size would make for one huge and heavy flip line!! Try more like 3/16th cable, pretty much the same size as is used in all steel core flip lines.
Manila flip lines were usually four strand, if I recall correctly. I'd never go back to them (but I still do prefer a larger diameter for grip)...plus, about 18-20 years ago, the available manila quality degraded.
