    Default Apeks Life line Spools....Line question???

    I am trying to find where I can buy some Eldelrid line that Apeks uses on their life line spools. If anyone knows that would be awesome.

    As a climber, I know that "Edelrid" manufacture climbing ropes.

    I assume that's here: http://www.edelrid.de/en/

    Try contacting them.

    so where is a good source for this type of line?

    And an additional question - anyone know the break strength on the Apeks line? I haven't seen it listed anywhere

    Courtland line. Tell them it is the cave diving line, but I think they only make it when there is a large enough order.

    Cortland Line - link here

    They come on ~500yard spools.

    Is that dacron line? What's the diameter on that line? Breaking strength? ...very curious

    any dyneema or spectra line will work, doesn't have to be from that manufacturer. Why use the UHMWPE's instead of normal nylon?

    Do you find the Apex reel to be any better than a delrin one? They sure look cool, but man they are spendy for a reel...
