Trap lines are actually wire. I have never seen rope used as a trap line on Hobie. There is a small amount of line used for the dogbone with a slide adjuster.

The pre-stretched Dacron line that Hobie sells is really good and inexpensive. It fits the rope locks perfectly.

There's not that much load on the trap line, there should be no reason you coundn't use something other than the steel line.
