Looking for 6 Thread Linen
Hey all,
I am a member of the Tuna Club of Avalon in California. We fish light line, Dacron and Linen. I am looking for a spool of 6 thread linen. Can anyone help a brother out?
Thanks in advance

Re: Looking for 6 Thread Linen
I am always looking for Dacron line, but not that familiar with Linen. Can you describe more about how the spool would be marked? Is there a diameter of the thread or a lb test convention for that line?

Re: Looking for 6 Thread Linen
linen is woven linen is a special way. You can get 3thread up to 24 thread. The spool are typically labeled 6th or number 6 line..... I have a bunch of dacron, its getting harder to find especially 12#

Re: Looking for 6 Thread Linen
I never tested it but I pulled on it last night with my hands and it broke relatively easily. Certainly below the rated strength that 6 thread should be.
