Rigging Line


Recommended Posts

Linen or cotton braided fishing line.

 

Has anyone used the above in rigging, pretty cheap, limited in diameter but a rope walk would solve that.

I’ve got some antique linen three-stranded fishing line and it’s FANTASTIC. However it’s thick so suitable only for large scale models or anchor cable or standing rigging on smaller ones. But it’s a beauty to behold with great (right-hand) lay, good color and ZERO fuzz.

Linen fishing  line is extremely reasonable and it seemed like a good alternative still cannot find anybody that has used it.
