    Where to buy small amount of cave line?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, so if it is not, I apologize in advance.

    Does anyone know where I could buy small amount of cave line. I need to tie 5 bolt snaps to equipment and would rather not buy 50+ ft of line just to do that.

    I saw some nylon line on ebay but no idea how strong and durable it would be, and would rather not risk losing some equipment due to weak line.

    Thanks

    I find that I use more cave line than I realize. Very useful stuff...plus the knots on the bolt snaps can loosen over time and its good to have line around to re-tie.

    I literally ordered a roll of twine today from Amazon, but I want to change my spools caveline as it is starting to fray.

    If anyone else ever needs some #24 can be had from Amazon, along with #36 although it comes in like 800+ ft rolls.

    Edit: Removed incorrect link.

    Where are you located and how much are you looking for? Maybe a PMed response is better...

    For anyone else looking I am switching a couple spools from 18 & 24 to 36 and will have some yellow/gold 18 & 24 yellow laying around. Anything less than say 20 feet - free. More than that say $2 to cover the bigger envelope and postage. And get a HOG sticker with it!
