Fast Back Ropes introduces the Natural 

Granbury, TX – Fast Back Ropes is excited to introduce a new rope this fall, The Natural. The Natural is a nylon-poly blended, four-strand, with a feel unlike anything Fast Back currently manufactures. “We have always built ropes with lots of body, among other characteristics,” explains Al Benson, General Manager of Fast Back. “With the evolution of rope making, we realize ropers are unique and not everyone likes the same thing. Ropers speak, we listen and the Natural is the result of that process.” 

The Natural is a highly visible natural color made of specially manufactured materials for better grip on the horn. Ropers will appreciate the Natural’s extreme durability and consistent performance in all weather conditions. The Natural is slightly deader with more tip weight and is very forgiving. This rope will be a good fit for many ropers who are not currently Fast Back users. Ropers who prefer a rope with less body and more tip weight will love the Natural.  

“When heeling with this rope, it molds to the ground without bouncing,” explains BFI champion and PRCA heeler, Ryan Motes, “I like that the Natural comes tight fast and grabs and holds the horn extremely well.” 

The newest line in Cactus Rope is the Xplosion head rope it is a four-strand nylon/poly blend. The high percentage of poly puts the focus of the weight and body to the center of the rope. This blend of nylon and poly places the emphasis of your swing on the tip and adds durability to the rope. The heel rope is also a nylon/poly blend. It is slightly smaller in weight and diameter than traditional four-strand heel ropes, allowing the roper to get plenty of rope speed for a consistent throw time after time.

From the beginning, back in 1991, the goal at Cactus Ropes has been to produce the best ropes on the market. New, state-of-the-art equipment enables us to produce ropes that are scientifically engineered, without the old-fashioned guesswork once common in rope making. The majority of the Cactus employees are ropers who swing and test batches of ropes every day. Afterwards, they’re put in the hands of some of the best professionals in the business. Professional cowboys like Allen Bach, Clay O’Brien Cooper, Matt Sherwood, David Key, Bobby Mote, Daniel Green, Chad Masters, Stran Smith, Riley Minor and Brady Minor are just a few that provide invaluable input.

With a full line of ropes, including Cactus team ropes, calf ropes, ranch ropes and kid ropes, we have something to offer anyone who swings a rope. All our products are chosen and scrutinized for quality to provide you with only the best ropes, clothing, tack and accessories.

Rattler Rope, a diverse and innovative rope company that had established itself as a leader in the calf roping world, as well as with team ropers, moved to Texas and joined the Equibrand group in 1997. With the integration of Rattler Rope, Classic Rope and Rattler Rope became the only two rope companies that manufactured their own string which every rope was built upon. Through this one-of-a-kind in-house process, quality and precise formulations of fibers are designed from scratch which gives the ropes those industry-renounced “feel” characteristics. Today, they are still the only company that manufactures string from a raw material, the very building blocks on which all ropes are made.

In 1986 in Granbury, Texas, Classic Rope started as one of the first companies to devise and perfect machine manufacturing of the lariat rope. Countless hours were spent formulating rope components that could withstand all types of roping conditions, both indoor and outdoor. Initially founded for the sole purpose of supporting the event of team roping, Classic was able to offer a consistent structure and sensitive feel in their ropes like no others on the market. Because of its quality and appeal, Classic Rope quickly became the leading rope manufacturer that professionals grew to depend on, and still use and trust today. As Classic Rope surpassed its own horizon, new innovations unfolded and the next generation of companies developed.
