    Tarp worm zing it feed

    Sorry for the white noise in advance, I checked and couldn't find this out, so I ask the group at large: I bought some "tarp worms" from dutch they had shock cord attached. They look cool and all that, although I think functionality that tarp fleas would've been more my style. I got the worms, so my question is I have problems slipping in my 1.75 zing it through the feed hole. Am I doing it wrong. I tried to "Melt" the ends like other cordage, didn't work that good, it would create a bump that would make it worse. I figure there is enough people out there to know...Got any love for ol Benson Burner today does ye?

    Trim back a strand or two and feed that in first.

    Right. However I plan to leave on the worms and remove the zing it every Time. Don't want to trim every time.

    Why remove anything? Just leave everything on the tarp and coil up the line.

    Well I have tarps where I leave everything. But I don't want to do that with these. I want to use them, like Dutch's video. The problem is I can't get my zing-it to feed through. Why is the hole too small for the line it says to use with it? And why would you just leave something that is simply strung through an eyelet. that would be unruly. If I want to leave the line I wouldn't go with a lark's headed piece of hardware. Why have line always dangling from hardware. The hardware is, I know, not needed, but to me, hardware with loosely attached cordage is doubly not needed. I do appreciate the grounder through

    Went through the same thing... wanted to like them. Took my time trying to melt the zing-it "just right" but still fought them. Went with Fleaz attached to the tarp and haven't looked back.
    Interested if someone has figured it out... I recently bought some line that seems thinner than zing-it with reflective tracing, it will probably work, but have since grown attached to my fleaz.

    Seems like hookworms are the better solution for you then if you insist on removing the lines from the tarp.
