That said knots string and rope played a pretty big in my life for quite some time..that would be when I was heavily into flying kites. Adjusting the knots on bridals and shrouds can be extremely tedious but ultimately rewarding when an erratic kite straightens up and flies right. I've flown kites on basic cotton thread even dental floss thru to 5K pound test. That big stuff 5K (not mine) and the like can be pretty scary when it starts to sing. But through it all... the various kevlars nylons and the like, my favorite remains braided Dacron. Not much stretch and it just feels good. Takes knots well and backs can be broken quite easily. I still have reels of he stuff..... 500 lb the max.... down to about 6 or 8 pound. Check out a fishing tackle store. Some of the other fly fishing line I've used hve some nice qualities too.Might want to check out some those. Then of course there's yoyo string but that's another story isn't it. =) ___________________________________________________________________________ ?Privatize the Profits - Socialize the Losses.?
