The bullet lines handle does NOT float, but it's a super comfy handle and you can't beat the price or at least until you find the same one on ebay like so.

I have the accurate handle and know for a fact that it floats.
I'm not sure about the bullet lines hande but I assumed it would float because its got the foam on the handle. but Nate54SoCal says it doesn't float so I guess it doesn't. I don't understand why they would put the foam on the handle if its not going to float it though. Confused

plus the bullet line handle has the wrap handle, which if you have one of those is enough. I personally don't like riding with a wrap handle because I never use it and it just feels heavy when you're jumping around. I feel like it changes the dynamic and I don't like it.

Something to think about.

ya good point. I just want one that floats because the people il be riding with will be my age which is 20 and il have a few that are a little older and I know were not gunna pay attention everytime to the handle and if it sinks that's just begging for us to run over it..

I might sell it for what I paid for it then just buy a new one because Like u said it has the foam on there so idk why it wudnt I'm gunna go throw it in my pond with the rope attatched and see what happens lol

bridges, yes I have that exact same package. It's the only wakeboard handle I've used so I can't compare it to anything but my old ski handle which was garbage. But I've had this handle for 5 years and is still alive. The only problem is that the rope where it connects to the ski hook is fraying but if you have a tower this problem shouldn't be a problem. So all in all it's a great handle because it was cheap and has lasted this long and still probably has a couple more seasons left in it.
