String or 30# fishin line ?

[Rdooms2347]

Got 15 traps and need to replace the door lines Ihave 5/32 braided nylon for the bouys but what to use for the 4 doors?

[POLECAT]

100# Mono or Nylon mason's line.
Either will work. Mason's line is easier to tie.

I would suggest a small diameter braided nylon line......

LOL, Jerry beat me to a reply........

I have found traps that folks lost rigged with braided wire fishing leader. Each door was connected with the leader snap end and the other eyelet end was fished onto a metal shower curtain hook. Main line tied to the shower curtain hook. $$$$$$ if you ask me but some folks go it I guess.

I use masons line/braided nylon.

Remember that monofilament deteriorates quickly if left out in the sun,
If I were rigging rthen I would use braided line

Thanks guys and guess what i found inthe ol garage . Just about 1000ft of thin braided nylon and even when i tryed it didnt want to break

[POLECAT]

[Rdooms2347]

Polecat LOL Cool no problem but thanks to all anyway for keepin me straight

i bought a spool of decoy line for my spread of duck and goose decoys and tried it on crab traps, it worked great.

I second Jerry's mason string suggestion. Easy to work with lasts forever and it's cheap.

Even comes in pink and yellow if so inclined.

[POLECAT]

I like PINK!

[Burchbeer]

I like the pink cuz I like the tattas! U know what I am sayin!

Masonry braided is what I use. It seems to last several years, but keep an eye on it for nicks, abrasions etc.
