Some 24’s may have slightly different lengths. Please be sure to measure carefully, or to consult our knowledgable Customer service staff. You want lines long enough to do the job, but not so long that get in the way and cause tangles.

Give us a call at 800/729.9767 if you would like more information, including specific line lengths, need us to make these different lengths or with other line types.
