    Trap ridgeline cord?

    I've seen lots of recommendations but which is the best cord to use. Would it be zingit, if so what size, zmsteel 7 64, spectra , 1.75 or 2.2 mm and also where can I buy reasonable amounts of the above. I'm thinking of going with Dutch's setup on his website with the continuous ridgeline and the loops and pruziks and dutch clips.

    I would use the 1.75 ZingIt. You can get 180 ft for about $25 from Redden Marine.

    Dutch's would be the place to get it. It's 1.75mm Zing-it - set it up with a tarp flyz on one end and a Ti hook on the other and you're rocking.

    Although 2.2 can fit. The Tarp Flyz and hook were designed to work with 1.75. I figure it is lighter, cheaper and plenty strong so I base my design around the 1.75mm.
