Guys,
What setup do you use to tie your tie outs to the over the top poles?

Not sure what you mean. Why would you tie your tie-outs over the top poles?

I'm going to purchase this tarp pole mod https://dutchwaregear.com/tarp-pole-mods.html and I'm curious what hangers are using to tie from the end of the pole down to the tarp tie out.

I use a 10" piece of zing it with a loop in the end for the pole with a prussick connected to the tarp pullouts. Just cinch it up and its good to go. Simple and cheap!

According to the description at that link, it's a continuous loop.

Not trying to sway your purchase decision, (love dutch) but look at these connections. this system is $20 more but comes with connections and case, or many DIY ideas.

I have tarp worms on all of my tieouts. So I use the looped end of the guylines and larks head them to the end of my hiking poles. Useing the worm to shorten the guylines to about 10". I haven't found a need to carry extra poles as the hiking poles are either holding the tarp out this way or in porch mode.

I also use a loop-on-end system.

I use Braided mason's line with a loop on one end and a stop knot on the lower end. The line is prussiked to the tie out. Easy to adjust for the different pitches of the tarp.
