Hitch cord length, size, and type w/hitch climber

[Magnum783]

I am in a bind fellers, I have a hitch climber on the way wondering what size and length hitch cord anyone has had success with I am a stout climber. I have been climbing on a vt with blue bee line and arbormaster rope. With a micro pulley. I think it's like 32" long I feel like it does not work as well as it could. Looking for suggestions. Length of hitch I feel is the largest problem I have going. I feel like with with what Isabel going I have huge set back. I usually 4 over 3 VT. Thanks for the help fellers.

I've only used xtc and beeline or armor prus , both 8mm 750mm long with 4/4 vt on a hitch climber. Have found the vt to be pretty sensitive to wrap/braid combo's. am a newbie at climbing though

I run ocean on 2 different ropes. Length is the shorter of the 2 wesspur offers. I use a 3 wrap 2 braid, I weigh 225.
