Badwolfeco slicc blue lagoon Goldilocks. I just put in a order for more last night. The slicc Goldilocks is my new go to for unresponsive. I would prefer the dummy thick stuff but it can be a bit too bindy. We need super huge gaps so we can use super thick ropes. ---

It’s such a clean and super even break. It almost looks like the knot end was over the bearing and when stretched the knot pulled out. :thinking: ---

Usually, I give the string a hard stretch before I put it on, then another stretch once it’s around the bearing before I tie the finger loop. I feel I was a being a little overzealous with that second stretch, if I’m being honest. ---
