Best wake ropes and handles?
 
Looking for a new rope and handle. Looking for some suggestions prefer a handle that floats.

The new hyperlite silicone flat lines are really nice. They don't seem to twist and tangle as much as other lines. We've been using the ronix code 44 handle lately. It and the liquid force gel and the best I've used.

Everyone that ride behind my boat compliments my Humanoid setup.

I also have the oversized grip: https://www.supershredbros.com/shop/...dle-grips.html

check amazon/ebay for previous year's model which is the same construction but different look.

Anyone use or know anything about Follow ropes and handles?

Accurate jacket series rope. It floats. I have seen some coated lines not float and that is a real drag. I've also had my rope for 12 years, paid $65 (at the time got a deal) and it has worked out to be one hell of a rope.

Why is floating rope needed? If your not moving, you should pull the rope into the boat.

Sure doesn't hurt

I have the LF Gel handle and really like it. I also got an 85' rope - 60' main, 3 x 5' and 2 x 2.5' take-offs.

A coated rope helps keeping the tangles down.

You really appreciate a floating rope if you do a lot of stop/turnarounds in narrow places.

Accurate A-Line(80ft) or X-Line(75ft).
Best lines in the biz. And they float.

+1 for Accurate Flat line or A/X-Line. They float, resist tangles or twists, and will last for years and years.

Plus the rope/handle combo package is a pretty sweet deal, its like getting a chamois or neoprene handle for $20 (when compared to the price of the rope alone).

Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Ive been using Prolines LG2 with flatline. super light weight and both handle and rope float.

I have a Pro Line combo setup and I have never been happy with it. I just purchased the Ronix 6.0 combo last week and looking forward to trying it out this weekend!

I recently bought a Follow handle and rope. I got the Mitch Pro with the wrap handle. So far I really like it. The material on the handle gets slightly more grippy when it gets wet. Seems to be built pretty sturdy as well. I went through quite a few ronix handles in a short period of time. They are comfortable in your hand, but don't seem to last.

The Follow stuff is really nice

Where did you get your follow set up from?
