Zig zag or SJ? wheres your money at?

[Matt McAulay]

First day using the zig zag like how compact it is but can't get my 13mm rope through it and it doesn't self tend, really want to try the spider jack now nowt wrong with the zig zag just niggled me a bit

So will a zig zag work with 13mm?

[Scott Walker]

It will but not at full effect, to get the best out of it use a smaller rope it will run smother and self tend better.

It will but wont self tend as nice as if u was to ise a 11.7mm rope ( blue tounge) or anyother rope that fits that size etc

13mm is far to snug a fit in my oinion...for best results...11.7 self tends beautifuly! Agree with OMT...11 mil would be tough to grip (unless you have very small hands)

after the recall of the first zig zag I got a SJ to try it . got zz2 when it came out and I feel so much more at home with it almost like I've been using it for years

[Steve Bullman]

I think out of all the devices the zigzag is certainly the most intuitive

I had the zz1 and then went on to get the spider jack I personally prefer the sj due to the easy self tailing I use velocity for my short rope as it falls through the sj with no rope weight below. And have blue tongue for my long rope as its easier on the hands in big trees

I love my Spiderjack.have done for 2 yesrs.But what i REALLY like about the ZZ is when on limb walks or decending..you can fine tune the friction so delicately...very prussick like...

this may be of intrest !!!
