Both would work. I heard people say fire line cuts the cape.
Button and carpet thread. That stuff is strong.
It doesn't rot and it is self lubricating and holds its shape without kinking or twisting. It will not cut the cape if you don't stand on it with both feet to cinch your cape together. It cuts simply because its too strong to break. Once you try it, you'll never go back to anything else.
What weight of fireline do you use for...say, deer? Bobcat/fox?
thanks
Only because I got a great deal on the entire spool from a sportings good place that was shutting down. I use #30 on the bigger guys. I'd use even finer thread on the small guys.
