I'm finishing a 300 foot tower, and want to use a smooth guy line for 
the top. The reason for this is when I pull up ropes or wires, I don't 
want them snagged on guy grips or insulators.

I'm planning on using 3/8" Polygon fiberglass rod (UV resistant) 
with 13000 pounds strength, it's only 19 cents a foot. Does anyone 
know what grip works with this stuff? Polygon wasn't able to supply 
that information.
