    Dutchware Compatible with 1.25mm Z-Line Spectra?

    Hey guys-

    Was thinking of getting some bling for my tarp guy line setup and wanted to know a bit more about some of the items Dutch has for sale. I currently use 1.25mm Z-Line Spectra Cord (http://zpacks.com/accessories/spectra_cord.shtml) for my guy lines but his website advertises compatibility with the hollow braided type cordage. That stuff is usually pretty slick so I suspect the Z-Line will be fine (because its quite textured) but I want to make sure before I drop a bunch of money on it.

    Also, I wanted to know what might be my best option for this as well. I see:

    Wasp: http://www.dutchwaregear.com/wasp.html
    Worms: http://www.dutchwaregear.com/tarpworm.html
    Fleaz: http://www.dutchwaregear.com/fleaz-single.html
    Flyz: http://www.dutchwaregear.com/flyz.html

    What might be my best option?

    It is not recommended. It is sheathed and the sheath can break as the hardware only works on the outside. The only exception is the Tarp worms. They work with anything that fits.

    You can use Micro Line Locs with that thin line. It won't hold as well as 1.75mm lash-it on tarp flyz (it can slip under tension), but these are guy-lines, not holding up your tarp. That's the setup I currently have, with lash-it & tarp flyz holding up my tarp. Sounds like the tarp worms could work? http://www.dutchwaregear.com/tarpworm.html
    They work by compressing the line into itself...
    Or just get the slightly thicker zing-it/lash-it if you wanna use one of the things you mentioned? The weight difference isn't that much, and it's probably easier to work with / less tangly.
