Need to get rid of a misguided choice for running rigging, where I was told their supplier for cordage meet the performance of New England Rope Stay set/X , ect. so I went along and purchased, to realize only
2 years later this was a bad choice; not only under sized in diameter but also line is so soft and stretchable that it easily lays up in knots adjacent to cleats or seat of cockpit.
   Time to fire that marine parts supplier and go with a trusted source for a new jibsheet, so guys please chin in on your recommendations for a "ready to go out of the box" jibsheet, I mean one with port/starboard bitter ends and a
   splice ready for a shackle ..?

I did most of my running rigging this past year.  I went through Cajun Ropes.

Contact them.  Their pricing is hard to beat and I have used them on two separate boats now.
