    Default 550 Paracord Stage Straps

    Hey guys, the other day I was on the phone with my buddy talking about Paracord Bracelets I make for a local Charity. He came up with a great idea to make Stage strapes out of the material because it is so strong.

    Heres how it turned out.







    Not only do they look badass they work really really well. Paracord has a tendency to shrink when it dries from being wet so the strap stays super tight, and it has a 550 pound breaking strength!

    I figured some of yall might want one or two so I made some more.
    The straps come with
    SS Bolt snaps
    SS Pipe Clamp ( Not like the one in the pic, it only has one adjustment screw like normal)
    550 Paracord tank strap
    I can add bugies if you want for 3.00 more

    Just tell me the length you would like your strap to be and I will make it happen.

    27.00 Plus Shipping

    I can make them in Black, OD Green, Orange, and Pink

    another befit to these is if you get in a sticky situation and need some high strength line there is a little over 20' of line in each strap.

    Considering it takes me a hr to make one of the braclets your hourly rate of income appears to be a net loss.

    Honestly, im not looking to make a living off these things just thought they were cool and yall would like some. The 27 bucks basically covers my material cost.

    my biggest issue with stage straps is when someone carries my bottle and the handle strecthes. I saw you post how it shrinks but have to carried it a few times from the water and does it loosen up?

    the solution to that is to not carry it by the handle. i only use that 'handle' in the water. and even then hardly ever.
    I dont like when they get all sloppy

    i know that but people who help gear up on boats or help unload gear carry them that way. Actually I only have them on my 2 40's i use when teaching. All my BO bottles/stages have a hose clamp with a xl bolt snap secured with bungie and the neck has a bungie loop with a med clip that just slides over the tank valve.
