    tying out tarp

    Is 1.25mm zline spectra adequate for tying out my cuban tarp?

    Thanks

    Honestly, it's probably overkill. 1.25 mm Spectra is rated to over 200 lbs break strength.

    That line will certainly work - many haves used it.

    I was just wondering because I have some and didn't want to buy anything else. What would be the ideal
    cord to use?

    What you have is ideal. I use the 1.5 mm Zline on my tarps. Never tangles and holds a tautline hitch.
