Guys, sorry if this had been covered before. Tell me where to look and I'll reference that thread. But, I did the rope mod for my LW sticks a few yesterday ago. Liked it, but they just never got as tight as the straps. Just spliced some amsteel and tried it on both the short helium's and LW sticks. With both the 3/8 and original versa buttons. Think maybe it's the difference in the tree brackets? The helium's felt more secure. Thanks
