8shot 191 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 just be careful when buying hemp as alot of people are selling flax as hemp stick to the spun nylon it will last as long as you with no rotting atb Quote Link to post
PETEWINN 5 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Avoid 3 ply hemp it's not strong enough. I would recommend 5 ply over 4 ply if you must use hemp. Polished hemp has a wax coating which in theory makes it last longer than normal hemp. Personally I would go for spun nylon \ poly over hemp any day. Its easier to work with and lasts far longer as it doesn't rot the same as hemp. Quote Link to post
