Imlay 6mm Pull Cord (Static)
Imlay 6mm Pull Cord (Static)
2025 color is Red, White and Blue
NOW with 5% more, all lengths, to account for shrinkage. (e.g. a 200 foot cord is actually 210 feet)
Our cord is Polyester sheath and Polyester core which absorbs quite a bit less water than nylon cords. It is quite a bit more static, so you won't be fighting the stretch. Works better! After using a very pretty but very stretchy nylon accessory cord as pull cord for a couple of years, I figured it was time to make some 100% Polyester pull cord for superior performance.
Pretty? We’ve added some more color to it, so yes, it is kinda pretty.
Weight: 2 lbs, 0.5 ounces (per 100 feet).
Strength: about 2200 lbs. This cord is meant to be used as a PULL CORD only. Do not rappel on this stuff - it is not strong enough for that.
Available in precut lengths of 50, 120 and 200 feet, and cut to order in lengths up to 600 feet. (By the foot is 10% more expensive). Check out some rope shrinkage tests and rope absorption observations!
The 200 foot length works well with the Imlay Pull Cord Bagette or the SECO-100 rope bag… though more conveniently in a Bagarino. I would be hesitant to use a pull cord longer than 200 feet except in ideal pull-cording conditions. AND I find less than a 120 foot pull cord not very useful except in specialized circumstances.

The Pull-Cord Bagette is designed for 210 feet (63m) of 6mm pull cord. The PVC sides have holes for drainage, while the foam on the front and back holds the bag open and keeps bag and cord from seeking the bottom of that pool. The stiff rim, flared top and two big, sturdy handles make loading the cord in the bag as easy as ho-made pie!!
Sewn in USA using globally sourced materials.
New Color Scheme: the new version has one color on the front and a related color on the back… Orange/Red, Electric Blue/Royal Blue, Neon Green/Kelly Green… and occasionally other combos will make a guest appearance.
PROTIP: Write your name and phone number on the inside of the drawcord sleeve with a sharpie.

The FiddleStick is an advanced canyoneering anchor tool. It is a new approach to retrievable anchoring, opening up a wider range of possible anchors, and making it possible to descend more canyons and leave nothing behind (aka “ghosting”). As an ADVANCED anchor tool, it requires skill, practice and understanding to use safely. Even when used properly, it has the possibility of failing, resulting in severe injury or death, or being stranded in a canyon with your ropes hopelessly stuck.
I was selling both my FiddleStick and BluuGnome’s Smooth Operator, but now the Smoothie can only be ordered directly from Luke at BG-Gear.com
Both are generally used with an Amsteel pull string that pairs (threesomes?) with the SECO-050 rope bag.
