What cordage is compatible with Dutchware?

**poorboystooge** · 03-31-2016, 13:56

I read that it looks like 1.75mm zing it is preferred, but are there smaller cords that work with Dutch Wasps (tarp ridgeline) and Dutch Fleaz (tarp stake tie outs)?

I'm considering getting some micro reflective cord from Arrowhead (http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/s...tive_Cord.html) but I want to make sure it works with Dutch Fleaz. Also curious what smaller cords others have had success with for ridgelines.

Well with ridglines I would use something that is spliceable and is compatible with hardware you want to use with a ridgline I would use zing it. With fleaz I think you have to use 1.75 zing it however if you want to use some kind of reflective cord you could try tarp worms and hook worms. I would imagine that they are compatible.

I can confirm theLawsons reflective line works great with the tarpworms and hookworms.

I use all kinds of Atwood micro-cord (http://atwoodrope.com/collections/reflective; which I think is what Arrowhead is selling) and it works fine with most Dutch bling. Fits tarpworms perfectly.

For a tarp ridgeline I use Atwood Kevlar micro-cord (http://atwoodrope.com/collections/kevlar-aramid) and it fits the Wasp fine. You may have to bend the tails on Flyz and Wasps a bit, but otherwise no issues.

My spectra is starting to fray on my ridge line. Does not seem as durable as the zing-it. I am swapping my ridge line back to the zing-it but leaving the tie downs with the spectra..
