I love using Lawton’s glowwire for my tarp tie outs and recently bought some Dutchware ringworms. Glowwire is not ideally sized for use with the hardware. Is there a different reflective line that is?

Dutch used to sell a product called Reflect-it that was basically a spliceable Dyneema cord (comparable to zing-it or lash-it) with a reflective tracer woven into it. It doesn't seem to be available currently, though I don't know if that was because the product was discontinued or if there's a supply issue related to Lawson changing shops recently.
NAMA started selling a similar product last year, and its diameter should be close enough (1.9 vs 1.75) to the cordage the ringworm was designed for to work well.

I don't make anything for Dutch and haven't sold him line in probably 7-8 years. When I sold him line, it was marked as Lawson Glowire. I never made Dutchwire or Reflect it or anything with a private label name for him.. Those two cords came after we stopped doing business together.
Thanks,

Try HG, looks like they have some in stock (it's 2mm): https://hammockgear.com/reflective-guy-line-50-ft-hank/
I ordered this (100' hank) and it doesn't indicate that it is Lawson glowire, but after holding it in my hands and tying a couple of knots I think it is. If not, it is the most exact facsimile I've ever seen.
Could it be that Mr. Kline has decided to go wholesale and drop retail? If so, good for him. I hope his other products survive the transition as well.

I just ordered a few rolls of this line https://go-outfitters.com/products/g...everyday-carry
Looks pretty good, but i haven't actually taken it into the field yet.
The company has been really good to deal with though.

I use yellow zing-it for all my ground lines but would love to find some reflective for the ring worms. Did it ever come back on the market? Just using CL of reflective shockcord at the moment but the ole eyes aint what the used to be.
We have a 1.9 reflective line that I am really liking.
I am not sure what the limits are on the ring worms, but you may give it a try.

Or ditch the ring worms and use NAMA Claws.
