Review: Buy this you will not regret it. - This review is for Catahoula Manufacturing #18 Tarred Braided Bank Line, 1/4 lb Spool AND Catahoula Manufacturing no. 36 Tarred Twisted Bank Line, 1 Pound Spool (Approx. 470 feet) Twisted Bank Line-TBL Kept hearing about this on YouTube and I figured I would give it a try. The quality of this line is top notch. The tarring is even and smooth, not too sticky but you know you have a tarred line. The tar has has not rubbed off so I am not worried about getting tar on items I am using this line on. I went with the #18 (~165 ft/lbs tensile strength) and 1/4 spool to try it out. Liked it so much that I went ahead and ordered the #36, ~350 ft/lb tensile strength, 470 ft, 1-pound spool. Love this stuff. It is stiff for sure when compared to standard untreated nylon line. I found that the tar creates friction that can make slip/sliding knots harder to move and/or tighten. When friction/pressure knots are used, this line will hold! Since it is braided line, it does not unravel when cut and this makes tying knots easier. Separating this line to get to the individual strands of nylon line would be more difficult with this braided line. They sell the same line strength in a twisted version which unravels easily compared to braided. It has the smell of tar but it is not irritating to me and I hate the smell of tar, gets me nauseous. I like 550 cord but it is hard to find actual 550 cord. Most are labeled as such but when you unravel the rope, it does not twist cleanly, the nylon outer sleeve is loose. This makes tying knots more difficult and I would think makes knots weaker. Also, the relative bulk of 550 cord makes the thinner TBL more attractive. For tying tarp/tent guy or ridge lines, you do not need 550 cord strength. The #18 is more than enough and you can carry 3-4 times the amount of line for the same weight. This does not completely replace 550 cord, but it is now my go to for securing things. This stuff is tough! It also resists abrasion. I used this (#36 actually) to hang my steel target (10" gong, AR500 steel) and it worked all day. no problems. So much for the heavy duty chains. I posted a pic of the basic nomenclature of the various bank lines. This info was derived from the catahoula website.
Review: Better than paracord! - This is superior to paracord. It is lighter, smaller and much easier to undo a knot than paracord.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than paracord!
*by T***E on July 12, 2026*

This is superior to paracord. It is lighter, smaller and much easier to undo a knot than paracord.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, well-braided line.
*by D***R on September 29, 2024*

Well-made, tarred nylon twine. Sturdy, with tensile strength suitable for a wide range of common tasks requiring cordage. Smaller diameter than 550 paracord, allowing more cord to be carried in the same amount of space in a pack or bag. Well worth the money.
