    Why use the tensioners with the tubing when you could just tie on a few inches of shock cord onto the line?

    Just saw them on Bearchaser's original post and thought they were unique, different, or just something to play with. They work beautifully and with the SLS you do need some type of tensioner. Will probably be changing over to the shockcord versions. Mostly I just like playing with my... rig. One of the advantages of being retired.

    Fair enough, I just figured I would ask. I didn't know if there was something about them that made them extra special, or work extra well. I happen to have some shock cord laying around so I planned on just adding some of that to my guylines, but if there was a good reason for it I would be willing to make up some of the other kind of tensioners instead.

    a lot of the links, including the video seem to be broken. Any chance someone knows where I can find the vid?
