IS there a huge difference between http://www.perfski.com/Wakeboards/Wakeboard-Ropes-Handles/Straight-Line-EVA-TR9-Braid-With-Static-Rope-Combo.html

and some of the spectra lines?

I'm looking for a decent rope / handle combo for like 60-80 bucks..

That one is poly-e line, which is the same line used in slalom ropes, which are intended to stretch marginally. Stretch in wakeboarding = bad. as you load the line to jump, is streches,a dn as soon as you leave the water, it recoils, pulling you over. Obrien has a spectra rope/handle combo, and it's pretty inexpensive, i can't really say many great things about the grip on the handle though.

Punkpenguin,
ebay has no stretch lines for around that price. Search Bullet Lines.
