The Spectra price was incredibly high. The cord was not much smaller than the U-Haul cord and 30 times more expensive!!! Perhaps due to the kite store being at the beach. I like the idea of Spectra but please tell me where you found it for $12. <br><br>The U-Haul cord is braided polyester blend, 300 lb. test and $2.50 for 30 yards. Product #49000 Twine.<br><br>I did an extensive search on-line and several phone calls about braided Spectra. The prices vary by as much as 90%. The availability is none, so far, although it's on hundreds of web sites as available... but so far none have any in stock.<br><br>Nylon, braided mason and utility line from the builders supply store is very good as well. 166 yards, braided, 155 pound strength, abrasion resistant and $6.
