Lead-free sinking crab rope?

I'm still looking for the ideal line for crabbing, and just saw a non-lead sinking option on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/KUFA-Non-leaded-Sinking-Line-SL-1/dp/B00EWJKJR4

Anyone tried this?

I think my ideal line would be stiff but with no memory, and pretty thin, maybe 3/16" or 1/4".

For that price, worth a try!  Not sure how they get it to sink tho without lead.

Try this, I ordered and it on the way, only $4 more with sink:

I’m using a 1/4 nylon blend. It’s easy on the hands and flexible. I have fishing weights attached to a key ring that I use to sink the rope. After the trap reaches the bottom I grab the rope near the water and bend it and push it through the key ring. Then slip it over the weight and pull it tight. That will sink all the rest of the rope up to the float. The weight is small enough to just leave on if you want but still very easy to remove.

I have used the 5/16 size of that non-leaded sinking line. It is made from nylon so it sinks. It does not sink as fast a lead core line but it does sink. I find it a bit harder to coil neatly because it is very flexible. The lead core line is stiffer so it coils neater. It is quite a bit cheaper than the leaded line and it does not contain lead which is a plus.

I think 5/16 is easier on the hands pulling.

Do the non-leaded lines tangle more? Did you stop using them for that reason?

I tried it out and it worked fine. As others have said it is just nylon rope and it sinks perfectly for crabbing, but is not as stiff as some crab lines so a little more prone to tangling.

I used this lead-free sinking line for a couple of years so far for one hoop and it held up OK so far.

They have lead weights with a big hole in them at some shops (bodega tackle has them) that I use on my 1/4 poly rope to sink my float line.
