i use the lasher wire all the time in my one woods and it works great. i have a tool i built myself to hold the wire. you just have to know the right sequence to putting in the fiitings and when to run the wire. also if it does break( not very often) it only loosens up a couple of feet on each side. since it is stainless i can roll it back up and use it again elsewhere if i take a line out. try that with wire ties! all that said i would never use ties again in my own woods!
Joe(TheMapleKing) ran a long run over a canyon a number of years ago and did this and it worked out great for him.
Can you actually wire tie 750' in an hour by hand???
When we sold the contents of my father's business I believe the lasher went for $2600. We have some lines that are lashed. They don't hold as tight to the steel as the wire ties do. We had the option of lashing or wire ties and went with the ties. It is a bit slower but in the long run should make for a better product. To each his own...
I started useing a lasher last year. I went every 100 feet and put a wire tie around it just for safety. It is very easy to pick it up and set it back down to go around tree's. It takes longer to string the wire then to lash a run no matter what the length is. I bought mine on e-bay for 600 bucks. The only time I have to wire tie is when the line is around 2 feet off the ground. With the weight of the lasher it tends to be heavy enough to stretch everything down to the ground. The best height in the woods around 4 - 5 feet off the ground. I will never wire tie again. It is what I have found works the best for me
