use the english braids equivelent. its dyneema rather than technora/snakeskin which gives it that matte feel

I used this stuff, just need the a wire or pull fid like the video rather that a push fid. Looks real neat when done.

English Braids own marlow... so marlow and braids could be same rope?

Pretty sure they're all the same. Technora is a marlow brand name fir a dynema. So they're all dynema / polyester covers with bulking polypropylene cores.

I bought mine off a reel with marlow branding. Was easy to splice. I'd be suprised if English braids manufactured an almost identical competing rope when they own marlow.

I'd check before replacing what you have. If you don't have a wire fid like the video then try getting one first.

I struggled for hours with the Marlow control until I learned to thin the one you're trying to pull through by pulling out and snipping off some of the coloured strands. Leave the black, that's the 'Technora' which holds the strength.
I've no idea what 'Technora' is but it does not handle or react to heat like Dyneema, it's more like what Marlow call Vectran, ie. grippy not slippy and burns doesn't melt.

Rooster's Spinfast is a re-branded Marlow 8 plait pre-stretched, its AllSpec Pro is also EB's  D-racer16 so I can only imagine that the Rooster Continuos Control is the EB Continuos Control line re-branded as well.
