Tuna cord

I'm after some info as to who stocks 'tuna cord' in WA or Oz.  I've found overseas suppliers.

It has been suggested in the linked post that it makes a very strong assist cord.  From the post I gather it is stiffer than 'venetian bind cord'.

Tks Tony, not sure if dynema is the same?

Where is Orca Tackle?  I have found dyneema cord at Whitworths and I think they sell by the metre.

With 500m long rolls I'll just make the assists cords extra loooooong.

1000m of assist cord. You'd be tying assist hooks for the rest of your life!

We sell that as Super Top.

We sell that as Super Top. It's braided polyester with an abrasion-resistant coating that gives it stiffness. Google YGK Super Top. You can buy as little as 100m and it's not expensive (at all).
