When setting up the ridge line for my new MacCat, I visited the local sporting goods shop and got scrap carbon fiber arrow shaft material for free. It weighs nothing, is very strong, and drills easily for attachment to the ridgeline. I used Zing-It for the line and Triptease for a Kleimheist Prussic for the toggles--seems to hold fine. The ends of the carbon fiber shafts aren't sharp like aluminum shafts are, and don't abrade the tarp.
