    Woopie ridge Line

    I know this is in a thread somewhere but I thought I'd try to save some time and ask anew.

    I'd like to switch to a woopie sling for my tarp ridge line. Any opinions on the best cord for this application? I've read that amsteel doesn't hold a prussic well.

    Thanks guys. Hopefully you have saved me from scrolling through countless threads.

    Amsteel is over kill.

    The Zing It and Lash It lines work well and will hold prusiks well enough for tarp cords.

    Some folks use braided masons line... which is far cheaper. But does stretch a bit.

    Not sure.. but I bet there is someone, using Speers "no tangle" for their tarp ridgeline.

    Then there is always reflective line....Like PMI Niteline or Kelty Triptease.
