A system, method, or apparatus for towing that allows for illumination of a tow rope and/or other components of a towing system or apparatus. The illumination can be achieved through the use of light sources that are coupled to a power source. A tow rope having a length, and a portion of that length can have a strip comprising at least one light source. The strip is of a length that is less than the length of rope and coupled to a control system allows for coupling to the at least one light source. A set of protective layers can surround the strip, engaging the strip with the length of rope, and to prevent the strip from breaking when flexed with the rope. In some examples, the rope can have a first end having a loop, and second end coupled with a handle.
