Dyneema Fishing line for Ridge Line?

[Burning_Daylight]

I have a roll of http://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-130-...ck+planerboard and I love it ~15 grams per 50ft. The only thing is that it is too small for the small metal figure 9's. I'm going to try the 200lb stuff next.

the #200 stuff is great!! I don't know about fitting in the figure 9's but at $11 for 150', it's become my "go to" utility line. I use it for my CRL, guy lines, underquilt suspension(along with shock cord, of course). Anywhere you need a utility line.

Yes, the 200# will fit in the small Figure 9.

do you think it is slick enough for bear bagging?

[Richard Tipton]

It's not super slick but it might work for a bear bag. I think the dyneema stuff gets the nod for that application. I'm in Middle Tennessee so bears aren't really a problem. Try it, let us know how it works.

I'm using this stuff http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

.8mm @ 200lbs it works great for the tarp ridge-line and the tie-outs. It also use it for bear bagging and I as a jump line for cave and/or wreck diving.

I literally trust this stuff with my life. Almost a 1000 feet for $25-- good stuff.

Spamburgler gave me some 200 lb. test, and it make some good prussic loops, grips tight yet slides easily. I don't see me using it as a ridge line though.

I think I need some of that 200lb stuff for prussics. SWEET!

It's also worth looking at Z-Line. Strong, light and doesn't tangle easy.

Just be warned -- it's strong, but very thin and slick -- I can't get a prussic knot to work on it.
