I definitely like this DREADKNOT Dock Line better than any other dock line on the market. I recommend tieing a knot before the little plastic cap on the one end so it doesn’t get pulled through the innovative slip knot. It can be fixed, but better to prevent it happening.
Also love my other Mission products like the inflatable swim platform and dock bumpers..

We are new to boating and just happened across Mission products online. Thank you, kindly, for protecting our brand new boat. Dreadknot and Maven are gorgeous and super easy to use. Also, it works well with my perfectionism and engineering standards. There are very few products that I find that can’t be improved. I’m using the dreadknots for my spring lines if it’s hard to tell. Color me impressed. Top notch!

Second review, had to share again. These lines make it quick and easy. Docked and off in less then a minute. Just can’t beat it. Definitely recommend. Even got a personal thank you letter in the mail from the owner. A+ customer service
CCChristopher C.Verified BuyerWas this helpful? - Rated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoDreadknots and dock lines and Sentries (2.0), oh my!
These were the first three things I bought for my first boat (2013 Mastercraft). I’m using the dock lines for tow and stern lines and the dreadknots as spring lines to the center cleat. The Sentries line up at the stern and center cleat. I think it’s a perfect setup.
My only issue was the condition of the packaging for the dock lines. Minnetonka Mark addressed it promptly—like a caring company should. I’m really pleased with the product, service, and great online videos.

We used our new dock lines for the first and I must say they are quick and easy. We were docked and off the boat in under a minute. My wife and I are both experienced boaters and can tie off with ease but these are still quicker even so. Definitely recommend. Very well made.
