Hi Audiracer,

Great to see there's another fluff-chucker around. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Cheers. A fluff chucker.

Hi
Brett,

Its called braided nylon, ask any tackle shop that sells fly fishing gear. ITs the stuff they make "braided loop" connectors out of. If still having difficulty PM me and I will sort out for you..... its £200 per spool! NOT!
