We are upgrading to a new Search Line kit with the Sterling Searchlite rope. It will be 220' long. I know one of the most popular ways to mark the rope is using knots and rings at 20' increments. We can deal with the knots, since they add no weight to the line and they are not a major hassle to smooth feeding of rope out of the bag. We are trying to avoid using rings because of the weight and rope feeding issues. I tried to find someone making aluminum rings but had no luck.
Does anybody have any tips or suggestions in regards to marking a rope for both distance and direction? One option that was suggested is to put knots close together for the distance marks and then have a seperate knot 10" away as the directional knot. It has to be something large enough to allow an easy feel with gloves.
Paint and tape will not work obviously.
