What line did you use? When I switched my jib sheets from StaSet to VPC, I noticed more slippage and needed to add an extra wrap (non-self tailers). As the line was used more, the slippage began to lessen and I could use a wrap less. Perhaps take the lines to a commercial coin laundry and wash them a few times to "beat them up"???
