Just like the RAM-Tech leads and lines many Ray Allen customers have come to love, this lead measures 8 feet long by 1/2" wide with a strong stainless-steel bolt-snap. But this time, we left it without a handle. Many handlers rarely use the handle during training and would prefer it not get hooked or hung-up on objects when dragged around. If needed, you could easily tie a knot in the end for a stopping point as it slides out through your hands.
