BUILT FOR REAL RECOVERIES (SEE 360 CAM PHOTOS)
Premium Sterling GrabLine Water Rescue Rope Included
Every Flip Line System comes pre-rigged with genuine Sterling GrabLine Water Rescue Rope.
Built with a nylon core and buoyant polypropylene sheath, Sterling GrabLine was designed specifically for water rescue environments. Its distinctive tread-pattern exterior provides exceptional grip when handling the rope with wet hands, while the floating construction keeps it visible and accessible on the water. The nylon core adds strength and flexibility, allowing the rope to deploy cleanly and resist the stiffness common in lower-quality float ropes.
With a minimum breaking strength of 3,282 pounds, GrabLine has earned a reputation among rescue professionals, guides, and experienced river runners who demand dependable performance when conditions become unpredictable.
Why We Chose Sterling GrabLine
Not all floating rope is created equal.
Sterling GrabLine delivers:
- High-visibility floating construction
- Exceptional grip in wet conditions
- Flexible handling and clean deployment
- Professional-grade durability
- 3,282 lb minimum breaking strength
- Made in the USA
Because when you're trying to right a raft, rope performance matters.
SECURE ATTACHMENT. NO EXTRA HARDWARE REQUIRED.
Every Flip Line Bag is designed to become a permanent part of your raft rigging system.
The Sterling GrabLine passes through a reinforced grommet in the bag's vinyl base and is secured with a figure-eight loop. To attach it to your raft, simply pass the rope loop through a D-ring and feed the bag through the loop, creating a clean, secure girth-hitch connection.
The result:
- No clips to lose
- No hardware to corrode
- No complicated rigging
- Secure attachment directly to your boat
Compact, simple, and proven.
