Default Which Handle and Rope?

I'm looking for a new wakeboard handle and line. At the moment I've got the cheapest/worst one in the world (which doesn't even float). I'd like something pretty good, but I'm not sure what to look for. I'm guessing:
- thin line to reduce drag
- nice wide comfortable handle
- light weight

How much should I be paying? Are there any good places I can get them from? Do I need to buy them seperately??

e.g. would the following be any good for £65?? -

"Clingon Economy Wakeboard Combo":
Robin Hood Watersports

why is the Liquid Force Watson Handle W/T so much more expensive??

I'm well confused!

Cheers.

The clingon one certainly looks up to the job. I'd say its a fair price too.

I've got a this bullet spectra line and handle which is nice and has a 15" wide handle which i like. Its the second bullet line i've had as the first had an unfortunate run in with a spinning propeller

The Watson Handle is carbon and the design is pretty slick too with those smoothed out corners. Generally you will pay that price for a carbon handle but that is the one i would go with!
