I use 14lb for most things. It's small enough for squirrels and strong enough for larger work. Deer on up you want to use heavier.

Then type in "Fireline". This is, hands down, the best sewing thread there is. Spiderwire will work, but it's too limp for my liking.

Spiderwire ?

I've used floss for 6 years now, it has alot of stretch but doesn't break or rot...good stuff & cheap
