Product Description
Pelican Matador™ Bull Rope – Double Braid Arborist Rigging Rope (4BR Series)
The Pelican Matador™ Bull Rope is a premium double braid arborist rigging rope engineered for strength, shock absorption, and long-term durability. Built with a polyester cover over a nylon core, this composite construction delivers high tensile strength with energy-absorbing performance ideal for dynamic lowering and rigging applications.
The tough polyester jacket provides exceptional abrasion, UV, and chemical resistance, while the nylon core absorbs shock loads to reduce impact forces during controlled lowering operations. A proprietary Pelican Tuff™ urethane coating adds enhanced protection against dirt and sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions
