Is there a better Prusik knot for lanyard adjustments

[CurSedVoyce]

Is 8mm hitch cord too small for 13mm rope?

I use it all the time... No problem

Thanks again guys for the info. I climbed yesterday. I now have a Distel setup on the Lanyard. I used this for about three days without any issues. Yesterday however the first time I used it...it didn't grab. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to lay into it without checking it first but it made me nervous not seeing it grab every time. I've had this issue with the other hitch knots with this hitch cord. I have to get rid of this hitch cord. It's Tenex 9mm I think. Black and green in color. First of all it seems pine tar absorbs into this stuff worst than any other rope I open. This hitch cord also has almost a glaze on it even after using it for a year. I think this is why it doesn't always grab.

Mine wasn't grabbing 100% of the time. I tied the Distel then turned the entire setup over and installed the micro pulley and biner from the opposite side. Works perfectly so far.
