platine motor with nylon thread

Ken,

On the Spider Line website it lists the Spider Wire original braid 125 foot spool for $20 (freshwater or saltwater, superfine). Is this what you are referring to? The Stealth and Ultracast versions are braided but appear to use teflon.

Ken,

Thanks for the information. I have seen the Stren superbraid online at Dicks and Modells. I'm using a Scheu Analog Premier table and one of the upgrades recommended is to ditch the nylon thread they supply and get fishing line. This will be an interesting experiment.

Ken, as a follow-up I tried the Stren Super Braid in both the 20lb/0.23mm and 30lb/0.25mm versions. Unfortunately, both threads made my motor pod vibrate too much and you could feel the vibration of the knot as it rotated through. I tried repositioning the motor, etc. but to no avail. Doing some additional research, fishing line that is 0.25mm in diameter is recommended for the Scheu table and I believe monofilament line is a better option. I'm getting some 10lb/0.25mm Stren Magnathin line and I'll see how that works.
