I'm too lazy to search for old topics so let's bring it back to the top. What is the best rope/handle combo that's not breaking the bank. About to drop coin on a 2003 SAN and need some equipment with the rope/handle being pretty dang important. So what so you gentlemen/ladies for suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm actually looking for one right now, I found this one at work, but I don't know if I want to go with that particular brand.

I guess I'm just a little leery and want to make sure the mainline is a decent line.

get a accurate package.. wont tangle as much and super strong no stretch.. i got the bullet line rope and handle package for 79.99 and its real solid but rope gets tangled pretty easy..

+1 for the accurate chamois package. the new for 2010 ones have a layer memory foam beneath the chamois exterior. plus they float, and are available in neon colors so bright you can see them from space. pretty tough to miss in the water.
not only that but its very comfy and light plus with the ARS you will never get handle roll.

bridges I also have the bullet lines. the rope does tangle easy, but the handle is awesome and for the price you couldn't beat it. It doesn't float but it's real comfortable and has a good grip.

Nate54SoCal, which handle do you have? u sure it dont float? i havent got to use it yet but it said the handle floated. and ya man its gets tangled real easy, pisses me off lol

but my handle has the eva and those rubber floating things.. we might have a different handle? mines all black has 2 white crosses on the ends and black rubber/foam pieces that say bullet lines in white..

well i bit the bullet and got the plush handle even though I'm pretty sure the first couple inches of the sides are solid plastic of some kind (which I didn't want to get launched into my board on a fall). This is what I went with, I can let you know in a week or so if I like it:

Oh and if you end up buying that handle, good luck trying to get their site to work, just phone in the order.
