My dog and I go to the lake often- in the water and on trails. Our nylon long line was getting so gross— so we got this biothane long line and am happy with the switch. It feels great in my hands, looks sleek, easy to clean, and I really appreciate the option to customize for our needs! Lobster clip and extra D ring that moves wherever I want it to are great perks. Downside: heavy and I got it too long! I will get a 15ft next time instead of 30ft.
