The use of proper wire, helps, too. I use #10 soft-drawn copper; instead of
snapping, it probably stretches. My 80-meter dipole might well be 41 meters
in length by now. That's not all bad -- a little extra length adds a little
extra broadside gain....

To take care of that problem, I simply run the rope and then attach the wire
to the rope with tape and/or ties. No stretching of the wire since there is
no tension on the wire.
