Vance,
I like this rope because it is buoyant so it is always going straight up, also
it never sinks into the prop on the surface. It is not a tether really, it is a
tow line for the flag since I don't have a surface boat.

I don't like nylon
for a surface tether because it soaks water over time and
gets negative and heavy. Quarter inch polypropylene is
neutral and has a 1400# breaking strength. We always used it
unless there was a lift to do ( like long base acoustic
transponders with a 300# bottom weight, for instance).

am using 1/2 in yellow nylon rope that is buoyant and so far
it is good but,,, the other day I hit a tree and dragged
it. When I was surfacing I noticed the buoy line was going
down while I was going up. That is why I attached it to
the sample bag winch. Clever yes? lol.
