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.

There's no appreciable chafe when it's threaded through the strands, and
ours have weathered a few nasty squalls. The wear comes from rubbing
past something. Ours are three or four seasons old and only one needs
replacement, so I'm pretty happy as they're cheap and easily read.
