Does the grape vine/rope work better than leaving a branch on your rub tree at that height? I've had decent luck with a regular rub tree with a few branches to scrape, so I'm curious how the rope compares.
Not sure either. A few years back rope was all the rage. Most guys have pulled them from lack of use. I didn't have a branch at the right night so I used rope. It was old rope from in my barn. Like 50 plus years old. Probably natural fiber and it worked well after the first year of airing out.
When it rotted I needed a replacement and remembered Tap had luck with grape vine so I tried it. Can't say what's better but this is working here for now.
