Pelican Rope Matador Bull Rope – Double Braid Arborist Rigging Rope, Made in USA

Meet the Pelican Rope Matador Bull Rope

The Matador pairs a tough nylon core with a rugged polyester cover to deliver a double braided Kernmantle bull rope that stands up to demanding arborist work. This innovative construction tends to wear more slowly than traditional bull ropes, helping crews stay in motion longer before replacements are needed.

A key strength is the nylon core, which provides solid shock absorption and helps maintain a steady balance when the rope is loaded. That balanced response supports smoother handling, which can feel reassuring during long climbs and rigging tasks. The outer polyester cover adds abrasion resistance while remaining comfortable to grip in various weather and job-site conditions.

In-field advantages

• Spliceable design for quick tie-ins and field adjustments
• Double braided construction yields a firm, predictable feel under load
• Nylon core delivers improved shock absorption and balance
• Polyester cover provides abrasion resistance without sacrificing handling

Length options and practical use

Available in three lengths to fit different jobs: 150 ft, 200 ft, and 600 ft. Shorter lengths work well for quick climbs and tight spaces, while the longer options extend reach for larger trees and extended rigging work. The combination of firmness and softness across these lengths supports a range of tasks without needing to switch ropes frequently.

How to approach use and expectations

• Consider task length and workspace when selecting from 150 ft, 200 ft, or 600 ft options
• Rely on the spliceable design for faster set-ups and adjustments in the field
• Experience the rope's balanced feel as a possible advantage during rigging and climbing tasks
