Marshalltown Braided/Bonded Mason Line

Has anybody used this particular brand of mason line for tarp guylines?
http://www.amazon.com/MARSHALLTOWN-P.../dp/B001RJ70F6

I have been testing it on and off for a year or so and I am quite happy with it. It is super light and it does not have many of the drawbacks of all the other mason line that I have tried.

It stretches less, but it is nylon so it does stretch a little
It is really hard to tangle, which is what really turned me off to other mason line.
It has a slight "memory" and is not limp like other mason lines
Break strength rated by manufacturer is 150 lbs
It works well with dutch hooks and linelocs
don't know actual weight but a 4 ft line weighs less than 2 grams

It is kind of pricy for mason line at $11-$18 and it seems to fluctuate wildly on amazon from week to week
It also comes in bright colors so you will be less likely to trip over it.

I also use it for suspension for my poncho tarp.

So yeah...let me know if anybody has tried it/liked it/hated it/etc
I have used 400ft from this spool (mostly for guylines and I have yet to have any problems, so I would really like to hear your experience

Also, if anybody is interested in checking it out, let me know and I will send you some. So like the first couple of folks to reply will get some. Just be sure to post if you like it or hate it, etc.

I would like to try some please,, very interested

would like to volunteer please
I'll PM you in the morning
thanks man

I would be interested in trying some on the superfly tarp

Sweet! You 3 will get some. Please shoot me a PM. I have approximately 100ft, so I will divide it accordingly.

FWIW...the first one is not spliceable and I have my doubts about the second being spliceable.

Yeah, i knew that, i picked some up anyway but also ordered the jet set, its like red zing it and it is splicable, but thanks for looking out g

I only sent out to one person that subscribed to this thread, but I will put the word out to the folks that did not comment on this thread and may not be subscribed.

My point was to get some in a few people's hands so they could report what they like/dislike about it (especially those who have used mason line before and hated it, like me)
Mason line is such a generic term, but I am guessing that all mason line is not created equally.

that would be fine, never seen it before
