High end Kite lines

I suppose I may be a little biased, but I've handled a lot of different types of cords over the years and Twinline-usa.com has the best cord you can buy. I guess if you have a connection at Yale cordage or the like you might find something nearly comparable but this is still custom braided in the US by the best braider in the country and they're the ones that braid the certified lines for parachutes (real parachute cord). They braid any material you can dream up. Straight, custom blends, hollow or sleeved linear line. Technora, Vectran, Kevlar, Spectra 1000, and you name it. prestretched, heat setting, urethane coating. Super nice stuff. I'm actually going to start building custom line sets for some friends (pilots) and if anyone thinks of anything they want just let me know, or if you just want to buy bulk go to twinline-usa.com

Sets will be fingertrapped and stitched (sleeved when needed) and on a figure 8.

Anyway, check their stuff out. There's a reason I do all my bridles with their cord.

seems odd to buy line by the pound. They give strength but not length.

Actually they do specify the yield per lb. See the following link
