    Cool Micro cord

    hey all,
    my buddy has a fast fly from ENO and it has this nice "micro cord" for tying it down. anyone have any suggestions for cheap source of lightweight tarp cord. Im rocking some Wal-mart camo utility cord right now and it is bulky heavy and seem to tangle it self no matter what I do.

    1.75mm Zing-It. AHE carries it, so does Opie, as well as Redden Marine.

    If you want to get TINY and use a covered line for better knot holding....

    -Excel Vectran by Marlow goes down to 1/16" (1.2mm) 200# tensile strength
    -Robine's Dingy control goes to 1/16" (1.7mm) 330# tensile
    -Marlow Excel Racing is too stiff for my liking
    -My favorite "tweaking line" is New England Spyder Line
    -3/32 (1.8mm) tensile 350# It's still pretty small stuff and tangles a little but not too bad.

    Ive got some 1mm dyneema core- b/s 70 kg for my tie outs.

    I think it's marlow or english braids.

    It seems to hold in the clamcleats well.

    +1 on the suggestion for Speer No-Tangle. It's on all my tarps.
