i have a bunch of extra unused braided dacron flyline backing i have no use for, but i think i might be able to make strings from it.
it's 20lb breaking strength so wouldn't 14 strands of it work in a string?
i will try to post a picture later

In our lakes and rivers, (puddles and ditches) I have never had mine all the way out to the backing. I think mine is braided and would stretch to much. Justin

David, You could use it for wrapping handles. I would probably make a good, non-slip, weather proof grip. Pat

I believe dacron is low stretch. I should work, Steve
