I have 265 feet of rode (250' of 1/2" three strand nylon rope/15' of 1/4" HT chain) but the last 150 feet of it only sees the light of day when I take it all out to wash it and treat it with fabric softener every year. 7:1 scope is only something I use overnight or on really windy days. I have room in my rode locker for another 200 feet of 1/2" nylon, I have the rope at home, and have the ability to make a decent splice (it's something I enjoy, dunno why), but have not felt the need to bother yet; maybe if I spent more time in salt water...
