« Last post by thomasthepikehunter on Today at 05:11 PM »I should have said that I'm using coated steel. Specifically I currently use Surflon 7x7 camo color right now. In the past I've used Cortland Toothy Critter in green color, and it's very similar to Surflon. I don't know if Cortland got sold or what, but they no longer sell it in stores like they used to. Surflon 1x7 uncoated steel can work too, it's just as thin as 7x7, just a little stiffer, and with no coating it doesn't take normal knots. There's a member here that uses it with a special knot and does well. 1x7 is cheaper too, about half the price. I still like my 7x7 as it is super limp, kind of between braid and monofilament.
