John (http://www.tvcinc.com/products/Muletape.jpg) Flat braided polyester line used to pull cable through conduit. It typically has a breaking strength of 1800 lbs. Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: catchrcall on June 24, 2009, 08:41:23 pm that stuff is rare as hen's teeth around here, I've been using a different type of cord used for the same thing if I have to hobble one. Thankfully I don't tie many hogs.
Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: matt_aggie04 on June 24, 2009, 09:27:08 pm I've got miles and miles of it, you ever need any just hollar. I would also add that you get some that has been used and respooled because the new stuff stretches a BUNCH when you tie the hog.

Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: khoghunter27 on June 24, 2009, 10:12:48 pm Yeah but if you can make good friends with a lineman they normally have access to alot of used mule tape or some call it plumbers tape
Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: Dirtydog on June 24, 2009, 10:34:43 pm lance next time you see me ill give you as much as you want , i had a bunch in tool box at bremond. i get it out of the fiberducts all the time....
Dogonit made some simple hobbles that were pretty impressive and cheap. ill see if he can post a pic. Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: Noah on June 25, 2009, 08:39:20 am Here's one I've been making for a while, this contraption works as fast as I've seen. A dog, and one of these snapped on my belt and I'm good to go. ;) Just a "grouper fisherman's knot", basically a cinch knot locked down with a little epoxy.... snug enough to keep tight, but won't lock down to where you can't easily slip it off. Works on all sizes but the little pigs can still stand up if you don't clip 'em off to a bush. Redneck engineering at it's finest ;D

Title: Re: Hobbles? Post by: duggan on August 26, 2009, 02:35:21 pm Matt, I live in Southwest Louisiana; would you be willing to mail some mule tape to me, if I pay the postage? If this is possible, my cell number is 337 912 3953, call and we'll work it all out. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it, and thanks anyway. PS: I go to bed early.
