Rolled 3.5mm keeps a 10m line under 950g, and round leather runs through grass instead of catching in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA handle your hand actually wants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wide stitched loop at one end, lined and softened, so a lunge does not cut across your palm.
