I can't answer your question but did you think of phoning them?

Well if you're looking for a thick line that you can manipulate with your hands, Power Pro makes a downrigger braided line. It's as thick as weedwhacker line and from what I can think of, is the closest thing to what you're talking about.

Hand line is typically very heavy mono, cast from shore by twirling it by hand like a lariat.

Sometimes, when the fish are out past the break, one unlucky fisherman gets the pleasure of swimming out the baited line and dropping it a hundred or so yards from shore.

Look for heavy, heavy monofilament line. In the 30-50lb range. This stuff doesn't tangle easily like braided line and can be used for many years. I'm sure BPS has something that will make your friends overseas very happy.
