I have noticed were some people are talking about using fireline fishing lin to sew up deer heads. Wont fireline dry rot eventually and break.

Between fire line, and Bowstring, or Nylon Thread. Why should it dry rot any quicker than anything else?
Being a big fan of it and use it on all my mounts I'll say this, by the time it dry rots if it does, I'll be planted next to a bed of very pretty dandelions making fertilizer for them.
If you use hide paste on your mounts there's no need to worry.
been using fireline on all my mounts and love it. Hardly ever have I had it break. I have used it for years and have had no problem.
What kind of thread do YOU use that doesn't eventually deteriorate? Did you ever consider that the hide that it's holding together is more likely to disintegrate than the line itself. Fireline is better than anything else out there PERIOD.
Geo and I totally agree (oh my god the pigs must be flying somewhere). Fireline is second to none. I have been using it for nearly eight years and I will never go back to any other string.
Well I guess I'm switching to fireline that was my only reason for not using it.
I have been useing it for a long time good stuff.just this morning i went in wal-mart and they had some in a bin for 7 bucks a spool i stocked up
like power pro line myself!LMAO
What "pound" test do you use?
i use 14 to 20 pound test
It pulls through smooth and you can knot it right behind the needle if you want. Strong and I have also liked how you can sew up about two inches of seam and the pull the whole thing together as it slides so well through the skin.
I would not use anything else either.
