Spectra® 12 Strand Print Email

Puget SoundSpectra® 12 strand provides very high strength, low stretch and excellent abrasion resistance in a single braid construction. It is over 3 times as strong as polyester (equivalent rope) and has less than one half the elongation. Spectra® 12 strand comes standard with a polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck splice. Its soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling.

  • Very Low stretch
  • Very High strength
  • Soft hand
  • Torque free
  • Easy splicing
  • Floats
