If you use it for for instance trailing shucks you can unravel and crinkle it. Antron, 
Zelon and crinkle zelon are very similar products, but there are differences in 
colours and diameters.
AFAIK the diff between Poly and Antron is that Poly floats. That's why it is so 
suitable for parachute posts. Antron does not float, so I wouldn't sub it for poly in 
all cases.
