[+] | [-] Are Cactus Ropes made from a cactus?
No, but they are the one to "stick" with. Back in 1991 when Cactus Ropes was just beginning, one of the original entrepreneur's CB handle was Cactus Jack - hence the name.
[+] | [-] Right-handed versus left-handed ropes-Is there a difference?
Yes. Right-handed ropes are twisted and tied to the right and left-handed ropes are twisted and tied to the left. We carry both, but please specify if you want left-handed ropes. We do make left-handed ropes, but they are a special order item. If you contact your local dealer local dealer, they will be able to place an order for you. They will also be able to keep you well stocked.
[+] | [-] Which rope would you recommend for a beginner?
Welcome to the wonderful world of roping. There are several options for you. Basically, it comes down to personal preference. We offer 3-strand and 4-strand ropes. Some of our ropes are made of a nylon-poly blend, while others are 100% nylon.
We have the Mini Mag which is a good 3-strand nylon-poly rope. It has a small diameter, it's good to learn with, and has some world champion credentials attached to it. A couple of the past NFR champs prefer this rope. The industry is leaning towards a 4-strand rope in popularity and we offer a few. If a smaller rope feels better to you, I would suggest the Whistler. This is a 4-strand with a small diameter; it's nylon-poly blend. If you prefer a rope with a little more weight and body, then try our number one selling rope, the Xplosion. The Xplosion is part of Trevor Brazile's Relentless line of ropes. Even though it is small in diameter, it is packed with body and tip weight.

[+] | [-] A friend of mine had a head rope called "Cactus Jack". Are they out yet? If so, where?
It is the softest rope we make for heading. It is a rope that we developed for a special client. We developed it for Jack Stephenson, the original owner of Cactus Ropes. However, if you ask your dealer or tack shop about it, they can special order it for you.
[+] | [-] What is snap-back?
Snap-back is the physical trait of nylon string allows it to stretch and then return back to a natural resting state.
[+] | [-] What is Cactus Grip?
Cactus Grip means that when the rope tightens between the saddle horn and the steer, the crowns of the rope separate slightly allowing the rope to hold the horn. It’s minimum when you talk about stopping the clock, but huge when you talk about “gripping” the horn. Any rope that has a core, does not have the ability to have crown separation which is why they have a reputation of running on the horn.
