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.
Pro Tip: The diameter-based color system allows quick identification on the job site, reducing setup errors and improving workflow efficiency. Available Sizes & Specifications (4BR Series)

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Matador™ Bull Rope suitable for climbing?
No. This rope is designed for rigging and controlled lowering applications — not for life support or climbing.
Why use polyester over nylon?
The polyester cover provides abrasion resistance and UV stability, while the nylon core absorbs shock loads during dynamic rigging.
Can this rope be ordered with a spliced eye?
Yes. Spliced eye (SE) options are available for added convenience and attachment security.
Important Safety Information
- Not intended for life support applications.
- Inspect rope before each use for abrasion, glazing, or damage.
- Do not exceed recommended working loads.
- Store clean and dry away from prolonged UV exposure.
