Guy lines for ENO dryfly

[bnkrtstk]

Can anyone tell me the size or type of line to use in conjunction with the dryfly? So far I've just tied off with paracord, but would like to use those fancy adjusters deals on the fly.

There are a lot of choices. Many people use 1.75mm Zing-It! (red or yellow) or Lash-It! (grey). I use the Zing-It! myself. Mason line seems to be popular as are other "high tech" lines. If I were you I would just go to DutchwareGear.com for the line and other goodies.

I believe the correct site is dutchwaregear.com, just to avoid any confusion.

Dyneema based line like amsteel or zing-it doesn't work very well with Line Loc 3's (the fancy adjuster things on the ENO tarps). It's too slick and will loosen under mild tension. Mason's line is too small to work, and will stretch.

Any sheathed 2-3mm line will work. Kelty Triptease or Lawson's Glowire is popular. If you don't want reflective line any small accessory cord should work.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

I like the Nite Ize green reflective line for Line Loc 3's.

I'm not sure if any of our cottage vendors carry it, or I'd point you there. Amazon has it:

I must disagree with this post.. I have 2 ENO tarps, and use zing it on both, never had and issue with slippage.. In fact I just bought a superfly, and I was tempted to used the Zing it ties outs off my one of my enos but decided to make yet another set because they work so well on my ENO...
