I used the plastic markers from the marine sto shove them through the

I'd do the same with ties as they'd be less likely to slip down after
the rode was stretched thin in a squall.

Remember, when the rode stretches, it gets thinner. The ties are
(relatively) inelastic.

I use the plastic tape markers as well. I don't think I'd care to put
a tie through the center of the rode though. Seems as if there'd be
a lot of chafe as the rode stretches and relaxes. Never tried it
though.
