    Amsteel and more ?

    I'm fixing to place an order for about 200 foot of 7/64 Amsteel and am wondering what other line I should order at the same time. I know a lot of you use zing it in different diameters, so please make some suggestions as to what all you use for different projects.
    So far I have only made whoopie slings and soft shackles. I will making some Tarp ridge lines as well as Hammock ridge lines. I have got to start controlling myself, repeat, I have got to start controlling my self

    thanks

    Can never remember which version of the "it's" it is but I like the 2.2mm Zing/Fling/Lash...whatever it because I find it easier to splice than 1.75mm. Good for ridgelines, tarp lines, etc.

    be careful if ordering 'fling-it' i don't believe that it is splice-able and have read several posts where people found it difficult if not impossible to splice ( if that is your intention) knotting it? someone more knowledgeable would have to answer that one. lash-it / zing-it - same thing but different colors...

    Go ahead and order some Dynaglide while your at it. You'll end up wanting some eventually anyway.

    +1 on the Dynaglide. It's pretty easy to splice also.
