Can’t Find Your Trusty Classic Rope? Try One Of These.

Stocking Up:

Several months ago, a fire destroyed the factory where Classic and Rattler ropes are made. While Equibrand (the company that makes these ropes) rebuilds its factory, supply for Classic ropes has certainly tightened.

Without a known production startup date, some of our Classic rope customers have asked for recommended substitutes until their favorite ropes are available again.

Here are some of the comparable ropes on the market from Cactus. Cactus Ropes has been in business since 1991, and many of the world’s best ropers have been using them, such as Trevor Brazile and Clay O’Brian Cooper.

 

Classic heat

Classic Heat

The Classic Heat rope is a blend of custom fibers and intricate twists that provides a loop packed with body, yet the tip remains ahead of the swing for a more controlled and confident delivery. It is lightweight and built for performance. Check out these Cactus head ropes that all are heavy-bodied like the Classic Heat rope:

  • The Cactus C4 Heading Rope is four strands of 100% pure nylon. It provides ropers with an ultra-consistent, snappy, full-bodied rope with tons of snap-back in hot weather.
  • The Cactus Hypnotic Heading Rope is heavy-bodied, durable rope. It provides great performance in all conditions, but its 100% nylon composition means fantastic results in hot weather.
  • The Cactus Nitro Heading Rope is heavy-bodied performance in a small, fast package. This four-strand, nylon-poly blend rope offers increased tip weight for swing and timing, as well as maximum body for accuracy.

If you’re looking for the Classic Heat in a heeling rope you can use the Cactus C4 rope as a good substitute or choose from the following two:

  • The Explosion Heeling Rope has a poly blend that adds weight. This creates an emphasis of your swing on the tip and adds durability to the rope.
  • The Whistler Heeling Rope is small, yet durable for its size. It performs in all weather conditions and is consistent.

 

 

Classic Spydr

Classic Spydr

If you are looking for the Spydr Rope it comes in heading and heeling ropes. This is a 5-strand twisted nylon. It has the perfect balance of snap and tip weight.

For the Classic Spydr head rope look for these comparable Cactus ropes:

  • Cactus TNT Heading Rope is a 4-strand poly bled. It is fast and easy due to the small diameter and huge tip weight.
  • Cactus Shock-N-Awe Heading Rope is the smallest diameter, making it easy for your loop to stay open and then snap shut. This is a 4-strand poly blend.

For a Cactus heel rope comparable to the Spydr, check out these ropes:

  • Cactus Xplosion Heeling Rope is a poly blend. This adds weight, emphasis of your swing on the tip and adds durability to the rope.
  • Cactus Whistler Heeling Rope is small, yet durable for its size. Offers performance in all weather conditions and is consistent.

 

 

Classic Powerline lite

Classic Powerline Lite

The Classic Powerline Lite Heeling Rope is four strands of twisted nylon and polyester filament wound around a Coretec nylon core.  The nylon core increases the rope’s weight and body, allowing you to throw with more accuracy and control. The nylon core widens the loop, maximizing your ability to make catches.

Comparable Cactus ropes include:

  • Cactus Whistler Heeling Rope is small, yet durable for its size. Has performance in all weather conditions and is consistent.
  • Cactus Xplosion Heeling Rope is a poly blend. This adds weight, emphasis of your swing on the tip and adds durability to the rope.
  • You can also choose the Cactus C4 Heeling Rope. It is four strands of 100% pure nylon.

 

 

Classic nv4

Classic NV4

The Classic NV4 has two premium nylon types in the fiber cabling process. This exclusive formula yields greater stability, life, and balance throughout the entire body of the rope. The blended nylon fibers are fused with high intensity poly for enhanced action and speed, provides increased loop stability and tip weight; yet, the outer diameter is smaller, making it faster and easier to control. The NV4 has a snappy, responsive feel for greater confidence and highly visible catches.

When looking for that durable, consistent heading rope check out these from Cactus:

  • Cactus Hypnotic Heading Rope is a heavy-bodied, durable rope that provides great performance in all conditions, but its 100% nylon composition means fantastic results in hot weather.
  • Cactus Xplosion Heading Rope is a poly blend that adds weight and emphasis of your swing on the tip and adds durability to the rope.

If looking for the NV4 heeling rope, check out the Hypnotic again or try out the Mojo.

  • The Mojo is the smoothest heel rope Cactus has and is perfect for ropers wanting a fast rope with small crowns.

 

We hope to see an abundance of Classic ropes back in our stores soon, but in the meantime check out this other reliable rope company!
