Anyone know a foolproof tomato sling?

Just put the tomatoes in today, many of them heirlooms which typically set huge fruits: brandywine, pineapple, prudens, boxcar, etc...I trellis them on raised beds, building the trellis fresh on a new site each year. Am including a pic taken yesterday before the tomatoes were planted, just so you know what I'm talking about. But with all that preparation, I still end up late in the season, scrambling around when the fruit has set and is threatening to break the vine. I generally come up with some half-baked sling scheme that only works half the time. Anyone have a tried and true method for dealing with this problem?
