First off, hope you are doing well.

Can you tell me specifically what type of line the "swordfish" line that I've gotten from you in the past? I need to make some new long lines and I cannot find it online. Do you have a source?

Thanks,
Steve McCullough
 
Steve,
I never used Bill's line but I am guessing from the posts I have seen on it that this is what it is.

Longline Ropes:

Everson Aqualine Plus/Baiterline
Top
1800 feet per coil.
Size, Lay, Wt/lbs. ,Tensile Model#
7/32" Firm tar 28 1590 EVR10001

It might be 1\4 inch but that is huge rope.

I use #72 tarred nylon twine and it has never broken.

But the hard thicker stuff lays nice in a barrel or bucket.

Steve,

Unfortunately I've let the labels on my spools deteriorate past the readable point. The best I can make out is that it's a polyester braid / Black Item#4499 Sample #622. I was lucky enough to get 2 spools so I haven't needed to go looking for it again. However if you find a supplier let me know cause you really can never have too much rope or line.

Bob, the line is what I had the GE's and Buffies rigged on. It's definitely not tarred, but a sinking soft braid that does a great job resisting tangles.

Good luck,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Hope you are doing well.

It is a polyester braid around a solid poly core. That is the kicker. Everything that I found online, doesn't have the core, or I don't know what I am looking for. That line is perfect for what I want to do this year, because it doesn't have any memory.

Best,
Steve
